“Mass lynchings are indeed comparable to pogroms.”

As I quoted Thomas Sowell, there were 500 lynchings in the South from 1865 - 1950. That hardly compares to attempted genocide, by the hundreds of thousands, of different ethnicities in Europe.

You're either not paying attention, or playing fast and loose with words, using "pogrom" and "genocide" interchangeably.

I equated mass lynchings with pogroms. I never mentioned genocides, which is something else entirely.

Some pogroms even had zero deaths. For instance, nobody died in the Limerick Pogrom.
