No kidding! And the song wasn't even "racist" in that sense. It was a satire of racism, and a famous black man also sang it in the same year. People would just rather talk about all aspects of racism, I guess.

Well, I am not one who enjoys talking about such subjects as things usually lead to debates and sometimes even things being taken out of context so I will just leave it at that.

38 homes on our long block here. Two black families. We mind our own business and have no problems.

Yes, from a song to lynchings, it is still really interesting. After all, we are investigating history. History is interesting.
I actually don’t know much about lynchings. Pretty sure grandma didn’t even. Have no ideal about granddad, but since he was wounded and died, doubt he strolled down to any. I found the subject of lynchings interesting. Why were there so many lynchings? Pepper and Sunny seem to imply that it was due to racism only, and only blacks were lynched. Not true.
But, as I keep saying, the south was complicated. Well, I can google and I can read. But I have a hand tremor, hard to write; and a bad memory. For those of you interested in this subject, especially Pepper and Sunny, who threw the subject out with apparently no research, I suggest you read the Wikipedia explanation-just plug in Lynchings in the United States.
Read the paper folks, extremely interesting. Racism was certainly a factor in what happened. Also white supremacy (hmm, as in someone who mentioned being 100% white and so very proud to be so.) had a strong role. It seems 4 million blacks (the number seems high so my figure could be wrong, feel free to correct me) were freed.
What happens to an economy that depends on millions of workers when those workers are freed? It collapses. The paper list economic issues as one of the main factors and stressors. The lynchings due to black-white woman issues, the growth of white supremacy, the fall in the price of cotton, racism, and in some cases when a black man was more successful than a white man, the black man was lynched and his business destroyed. Also, lynchings increased when it was time to vote.
Some statistics, but there were lots.
Mexicans lynched 1848-1928. At a rate of 27.4 per 100,000 of the population 1880-1930.
Blacks lynched 37.1 per 100,000
1848-1879 Mexicans lynched 473 per 100,000
1891 11 Italian immigrants were lynched. One of the largest lynchings in the US.
The report says between 1830-1850’s the majority of those lynched were white.
Men, woman, and children were lynched. I mentioned a few races but Chinese and East Indian immigrants were lynched. Most of the statistics I mentioned were in the south. A lot were in Florida which strikes me as odd for some reason. But, of course, there were lynchings throughout the United States for a variety of reasons.
And lynchings still occur. As to the point Pepper and Sunny want to make about lynchings, guys what was that point? That they happened? Yes, they did.
