OBAMA knows how to play the psychological GAME with his supporters. He knows how to play VICTIM, and he does this all the time to gain sympathy.
OBAMA is a mastermind psychological game player of pretending to be the VICTIM of the opposition and playing VICTIM of AMERICA!!!
His supporters with no common sense are going "Oh Poor, Lord Obama is a victim again. He needs our support and votes."
I found some sources online. They say whites and women were lynched, but, of course, nowhere near the numbers of A.A's.
1. History of Lynching in the United States (source): "Although mobs murdered almost 300 white men and women, the vast majority of almost 2,500 lynch victims were A.A.
2. About Lynching by Rober L. Zangrando (source): between 1882-1968 4,743 died of lynching. 3,446 of them black women and men.
Mississippi: 539 black/42 white
Georgia: 492 black/39 white
Texas: 352 black/141 white
Louisiana: 335 black/56 white
Alabama: 299 black/48 white
There were more numbers compiled for later years, but thankfully they were declining in amount.

White women or any white for that matter has never been targeted in the U.S. because of their racial ancestry. And don't bring up Italians or Irish etc. - those people were not considered whites for a long time. Blacks have been enslaved and treated cruelly (including lynchings) simply because they belong to the black race. Can people see the difference here?
White women have not been lynched simply for being white women, so the lynching of Palin effigy does not come attached with any historical connotations with regard to race. An Obama effigy which is depicted as being lynched does come with such connotations - especially when it occurs in a southern state.
Also, when Obama becomes president he will endure ridicule and scorn simply because he has African blood. Bush has earned all of the ridicule and scorn he receives. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Obama, because his being president will undoubtedly threaten a certain percentage of the white population.
Did you even read my post? The Salem Witch Trials were in the late 1600s. And the context for that was religion and politics. Once again, totally missing the point
Wrong. I read your post. You said the last 100 years. I just posted something else as well. And as a girl who grew up in the south and still live there (although it's a different place than it used to be) I do know something about this. I'm not talking as a sheltered city girl who didn't hear some rough language used to describe blacks or hear stories from my mom who happened to live in Mississippi in the mid 60's. One of the stories my mom tells is of being in the grocery store one day and she got in line behind a black woman. The clerk wouldn't wait on the black woman first but my mom wouldn't go first and she even offered to pay for the woman's groceries when she ended up being short of cash. The gossip hit the street before she did and she said she hadn't been so scared in her life with all the men and women glaring at her for what she had done. My dad (the raging rascist back then) didn't believe his buddies would do that to her but the gossip and threats got to him too and they moved away less than a month later.
But to say that religion didn't play any part in the lynchings, in some backwards people's minds it did. I'm a Christian and I know many others who wouldn't distort religion to do something so bad but some people do.
Technically there is a difference, Palins was on private property and should be allowed to stay, Obamas was not on "private" property..
I thought I should just quote this, seeing as half the people responding here must have missed this little gem.
Both are stupid. But one's on private property and there's not really much anyone but the owner can do about it. One's on public property and should be taken down immediately.
All the rest of the discussion is simply exercise in partisan hackerey.

That is true. The perversion of Christianity by some actually constructed racism and slavery, as well as sexism, as necessary goods.
But of the white who were lynched were any of those done because the person was white? The lynching of blacks was because they were 1. black and 2. suspected of having committed some crime. With whites, the issue was that they had committed some crime or were suspected or some crime. Race didn't play into in, and that's a significant difference, especially when you take into account the numbers you provided.
I would like to know when lynching became a black only thing against them.
They use to lynch horse theives, witches, and other people I'll bet more whites have been lynched than blacks!
Can you provide me with some facts to back up this statement? Didn't think so.
