DemoKKKrats have always hated blacks and did most of the lynchings. They also hated Jews and Catholics and especially anti-slave Republicans. Does not include murders though.Just watching the MSM whine about Trump's use of the word "lynch".
In a tweet Trump said that he was being "lynched" (metaphorically).
However, the dictionary's description of lynch doesn't include race.
Lynchings did not necessarily involve a black person, white people were lynched too.
Definition of LYNCH
Definition of lynch
transitive verb
: to put to death (as by hanging) by mob action without legal approval or permission
So the MSM continues the "lynching" of Trump by playing the race card every chance they get. As Newt said on the View today, most people saw lynchings on TV, such as on the old westerns, and they were of white criminals, not blacks. Blacks were NOT the only people lynched.
Almost half of the people lynched in the US between 1882-1964 were white.
Lynching Statistics by Year
That chart was bubbled up before. Even using its out-of-date stats your own link says that 73% of lynching victims were black, in a country where blacks make up 10-12% of the population. And that doesn't include several hundred more that weren't yet counted, so it's even higher.
