“I equated mass lynchings with pogroms.”

And most people would maintain that 500 lynchings spread over a 85 year period is not really “mass.” Chicago had 591 killings last year and I would assume they were mostly blacks murdering blacks.

You're still not paying attention to anything I've posted.

If you read the article on "mass lynchings" that I posted up thread, you'll see that "mass lynching" refers not to the number of lynchings, but to the number of people killed per lynching incident.

Often individuals were lynched. But sometimes groups of individuals were lynched all at once. The latter is comparable to a pogrom, in which groups were killed (but sometimes no one).
