This story kinda flies in the face of everything we were taught in induction camp public school.

Ya, you got it. One story proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there never was slavery, the Klan was a kindly benevolent society that only sought to help the less fortunate, and that the thousands of blacks found hanging from trees were all suicides. The damn Yankees just made all that other stuff up. < / sarcasm >

You must have come here straight from the Abe Lincoln?s Birthday threads.

what your comment proves is you wouldn't know the truth (or speak the truth) if someone handed you a ton of it.

according to the SCLC in the 1970s, the largest DOCUMENTED number of lynchings in the USA was about 500.

ONE was too many, but your "thousands" makes you look ignorant and/or UNtruthful.

i'd bet you believed wee willie klintoon about the "hundreds of black churches that burned in Arkansas when i was a boy", too. (NOTE: there was NOT even ONE!)
