No, he showed that lynching did not specifically apply to only whites hanging Blacks. It was a way of the Old West. Lynch mobs took out many through what was known as vigilante justice.Irrelevant. Dead is dead.Genocide has NOTHING to do with lynching. An honest person realizes that far more whites have been hung throughout American history than blacks. Were blacks and their supporters hung? Absolutely but so was a common horse thief. Hell, hanging was corporal punishment in this nation for over a century.I think it's a fair comparison.
It's a word. Nothing more. If you asshats continue to bastardize the American lexicon we won't have any words left to describe dastardly actions.
Was the horse thief hung for being white? No? Ok.
I'm not going down the rabbit hole with you tonight.
No, not irrelevant. You just compared lynching someone because they are black to cowboy justice when someone actually breaks the law.

The lynching of Charles Cora and James Casey in San Francisco, 1856.
They are white
We're not talking about the old west. We're talking about how whites treated 'uppity Negros' to keep the status quo. Whites did not face racial violence like this, sorry.
