How did the Moose get on campus?
My kids had a scoutmaster who was upset when I showed a couple of the boys at a camp out, how to make a noose. Nice guy but a screaming lib.
That's because the movies were always about cowboys and indians, not cowboys and negros or indians and negros........

A noose is not on this list but most will suffice, if necessary.
Mostly today, a noose today is for sending messages!
There were thousands of blacks who were slaveowners too, but it doesn't fit the narrative.
Are you sure you really mean you hooked up?
Years ago William Safire used that expression in one of his columns. He was a little fuzzy on the concept of hooking up. He soon found out. ;-)

This is one notation on the year 1892.

As I do genealogy, history comes with it.
I have a GGUncle, while in Texas, was convicted of murder.
He and another man killed the other man’s brother. They were later pardoned by the Governor of Texas.
Sure, but that only reenforces the higher black lynchings number. I was curious about the other FReepers belief that whites were lynched more often.

Hope this works for you.
Snip:
Quite a few states did in fact lynch more white people than black. In the West these greater number of white lynchings was due to political reasons not racial reasons. California, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming lynched more whites than blacks.
I am old enough (though not so venerable, or dead, as Safire) to use the phrase in its tidy vintage meaning.
(I mean, we still hook up with the gooseneck trailer out here, you know?)
I was about to inquire how a proper lady such as yourself might be familiar with the casual, shall we say zipless, usage...but of course I realized that it was precisely through the careful reading of those such as Safire, Ciardi, and Strunk & White.
Right?
