March 25, 201511 yr Do you? So you disagree with Jim. Jim said none were hung because they were white but you are surmising that they may have been hung only because they were white and friendly to negros. So being white could get you lynched depending upon your circumstances. Or beaten and buried. Just ask the families of Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner.

March 25, 201511 yr After WW2 there were 20 lynchings of blacks. I would have thought there were more. Good find on the stats. I was always under the impression it was worse.
March 25, 201511 yr Do you? So you disagree with Jim. Jim said none were hung because they were white but you are surmising that they may have been hung only because they were white and friendly to negros. So being white could get you lynched depending upon your circumstances. Nope. I'm of the belief that folks were hung for either being black or for teaching negros how to read. Your post implies that you know the facts surrounding the 1300 white people that were hung. Why were the white people hung? And before you say they were "criminals" keep in mind that a lot of blacks were hung for being "criminals" also.
March 25, 201511 yr Author Nope. I'm of the belief that folks were hung for either being black or for teaching negros how to read. Your post implies that you know the facts surrounding the 1300 white people that were hung. Why were the white people hung? And before you say they were "criminals" keep in mind that a lot of blacks were hung for being "criminals" also. I didn't mean to imply that I agree with all of that, except I don't know why all 1300 whites were hung. As stated above many whites were lynched in non-southern states, I would guess those were more for suspected crimes than assisting or teaching blacks. While the ones in the south very well could have been for that. Edited March 25, 201511 yr by Jumper_Dad
March 26, 201511 yr Or beaten and buried. Just ask the families of Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner. They were shot and then buried
March 26, 201511 yr Report says this is now being investigated as a lynching. http://globalgrind.com/2015/03/22/otis-byrd-death-not-a-suicide-lynching-mississippi/?utm_source=Twitter
March 26, 201511 yr Otis Byrd was convicted of murder in 1980 and served 30 years of his prison sentence before being paroled in November 2006, reports FOX News. The victim of Byrd was a 55-year-old convenience store clerk named Lucille Trim. She was shot four times by Byrd when he was robbing the store. which he took $101. I have a hard time feeling sorry for him regardless of him serving time. At least he got to serve time, she is dead for 101 dollars and never saw her daughter grow up.

March 26, 201511 yr Eric Holders Civil right division is investigating. How can we trust what he says will be true, what's to keep him from saying it was a lynching as to cause more race problems. After all he and the WH are in bed with Sharpton and we know how racist he is. I mean they allowed for Ferguson to burn while they knew all along the Hands Up was a fabricated lie.

He paid his debt.
March 26, 201511 yr He served his time. He paid his debt. He killed a woman/mom/daughter/wife for a measly 101 dollars. He could never pay that debt. And yeah I feel the same for anyone else. I hope Bowe Bergdal gets his too for desertion and causing fellow soldiers to get killed looking for him.

I hope Bowe Bergdal gets his too for desertion and causing fellow soldiers to get killed looking for him. I get what you are saying. However, he paid his debt per the govt. He didn't deserve to be lynched.
March 26, 201511 yr Do you? So you disagree with Jim. Jim said none were hung because they were white but you are surmising that they may have been hung only because they were white and friendly to negros. So being white could get you lynched depending upon your circumstances. So, I'm not able to engage in any sort of hyperbole where "none" means "for all intents and purposes, none, but really a handful just to keep things honest?" Do we really have to parse every single word like we're in court?
