Yeah, because lynching was such a big thing on Oregon. And has it happened anywhere since the 1950s (or very early 60s very broadly defining the term)?

And lynching virtually disappeared after World War II. Not only that, about 30% of lynching victims were white.

As someone pointed out, there is only ONE recorded lynching of a black man in Oregon - in 1902.

According to my source, 3,445 blacks were lynched in the US, compared to 1,297 whites. Only 20 of the 3,445 black lynchings occurred after WWII, only 9 since 1950, and none since the early 60s.

There was a lynching in Centralia WA, back in the years after WW 1. A “Wobbly” was hung from a bridge. He was white and a member of the Workers of the World International. This group of commies shot at an impromptu parade of War Veterans. The Wobblies used sniper rifles from the trees, killing some and wounding others. The Veterans rushed the Union hall, and most were shot at close range. The Wobblies were arrested, but back then when the Sheriff would lose his keys to the cells, a commie rat bastard was taken out and hung. No one was ever arrested.
