How many whites were lynched in Portland Oregon?

And everywhere else in the U.S. in the late 19th and early 20th century?

Was lynching a phenomenon targeting mostly blacks?

Horse thieves were mostly white....west of the Mississippi River, lynching was instant justice for cattle rustling, robbery of any sort and mostly a white persons sentence.
