Give some details of the rest of your warped picture. For instance, is the lynch mob white? What color is the person being lynched? (I mean, you do know, with your superior education and intelligence, that other races, including whites, were also lynched, right?)

First, in all the pictures of lynchings that I've seen (they were often sold as souvenir postcards), I've never seen a black face in the mob, and white victims have been few and far between. (e.g. the Leo Frank case). If you'd like, I can post some pictures.

Let's do the numbers:

Lynchings, United States, 1882-1968: 4773
Black Victims Nationally: 3446
White Victims Nationally: 1297

Lynchings, 11 Southern States: 3531
Black Victims, 11 Southern States: 3029
White Victims 11 Southern States: 492

Lynchings, 39 Non-Southern States: 1202
Black Victims, 39 Non-Southern States: 427
White Victims, 39 Non-Southern States: 775

So nearly two-thirds of all documented lynchings were of blacks, in the south. Lynching of blacks in the remaining 39 states are a little less than 9% of all lynching victims. Black victims in the south outnumber white victims 6 to 1. In the other states, white victims outnumber black victims almost 2 to 1.

A case can be made that southerners are more egalitarian in their lynching. Forty percent of all white victims of lynching came from those 11 states.
