Lynching pre-1950 was universal throughout the South. Could it have been universal without being opennly condoned and indeed supported by every voice of white Southern moral authority ? Chief of which was the church ?

Yes, and whites, too, were often lynched. Someone like Scott Peterson would probably not have lived to stand trial. Of course, lynching is wrong, but it was not a wrong done exclusively to blacks. Any miscreant (or apparent miscreant) was liable to hang.

your name says it all... universal lynching? meaning a few random incidents that were played up by the mainstream media to look like every southerner condoned it? You are making false generalizations and spouting the same liberal rhetoric that all the other leftists spout...without any actually facts to back you up.
