Well let's see the most likely reason a black man would be lynched in the late 19th century, early 20th century was an allegation that he raped a white woman.
Kobe is accused of raping a white woman.
Since rape isn't a capital crime in the anywhere in the US, it stands to reason that if you buy a T-Shirt from a website called hangkobe, and it depicts a stickman hanging from a noose on one side, and Kobe Bryant's name on the other, you are suggesting that he should be lynched. Paticulalry if your a law enforcement officer or officer of the court you know full well what the penalties are for rape.
Your ignorance of the history of lynchings in this country and their justifications is astounding.
The part about the hanging nooses was not contained in what I read in the post above.
My history education was pretty good, thank you. Much better than your manners.

However, I DO wonder what's "racist" or "evocative of Klan lynchings" about the T-shirt words as they appear above.

Apparently you haven't read the article that you posted.
