I'm being pedantic here (or something) but I just feel like pointing out that the total number of people who were considered "lynched" was around 3000 -- that covers the entire post-Civil War era. Three thousand. And not all of them were black (whites (often Jews), Indians, etc were lynched as well as Blacks).
The conventional wisdom is that an epidemic of lynching swept the country for decade after decade. Like most of this crap, the hysteria over lynching is mostly garbage.
I'm not sure how many whites are murdered by blacks every year, but it's a pretty big number. But Whites are the bad guys. It's racist to ever say anything else.
