“...thousands of victims of lynching...”

Thomas Sowell writes that there were about 500 lynchings from 1865 to 1955 or so.

Regardless of the facts, the degenerate Left needs its victims to survive.

Love Sowell.

My grand parents were at the lynching of Marshall Ratliff in Eastland, TX.

The guy was white and on Death Row.

Lynching does not imply innocence. When one goes back and reads the details of these cases, there are usually numerous witnesses to the crimes for which the person was lynched.

The crime in lynching was primarily that the guilty party was deprived of his Constitutional rights to due process. I'm sure there were instances when a innocent person may have been lynched. But for the majority of cases there is usually a body of strong evidence that the lynched party was guilty.

More white people are murdered by blacks every single year than all the blacks lynched in the South throughout all recorded history.

Also, it should be noted that white people lynched far more fellow white people than they did black people in the antebellum South.

Also, black people lynched black people. Were those black lynchers rayciss?

And a third of those were of whites.
