“Back in the ’50s and ’60s, white supremacists would take their victims back into the woods and beat, shoot, burn and lynch then mutilate them there, usually under cover of night, but often in the glow of gargantuan gasoline-soaked Christian crosses.

Contrary to Clarence Thomas’ assertions, Trayvon’s was a real “high-tech lynching.””
