Most lynchings occurred because of allegations. There was no actual proof that a crime was committed. Just some very racist people who were more likely to let justice take its course had the accused been White.
Right -- a bloody dead body isn't evidence that a crime had been committed. And whites weren't lynched for similar crimes.

Some Italians got lynched in Louisiana. What happened. They were acquitted in a murder trial of a police chief. They were found "not guilty". However, this wasn't enough for some people.
A dead body is a sign that someone got killed. However, who did the killing, that is what we have a trial for. Alot of lynchings took place without a trial taking place. What part of that do you not get?
And allegations of crime were not the only reason lynchings took place. Alot of lynchings took place because some Blacks "got uppity".

Forgot to bow their heads and address white folks as master.
He is right. If a business wants to discriminate then sites like Yelp will tell everyone about it and people can boycott if they want. No need for courts or government to get involved.
The common theme here is, like I said earlier, that many people don't understand or value principles and are thinking small-picture. Because of that, they don't see any possible reason to be against anti-discrimination laws, so you must be trying to find excuses for bigotry.
There's a difference between supporting someone's actions and supporting their right to do it.
It's the exact same thing happening with the free speech debate. Some get it - "I do not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." Some don't - "If we allow hateful speech, we're sending the message that hate is okay."
Yes. People were lynched for committing serious crimes that outraged the community. The notion that innocent people were lynched because of their race is a racist lie.
Which is believable if you don't want to look at the facts.
This incident in 2011 exposed the fact that there are still people who kill others just because of their skin color.
That is where we are headed. Most people these days want the 1950s back in their entirety and that includes superior status for whites. It's amazing the shift in the attitude of our country in just a few years.
Racist white people don't want to give whites superior status over blacks. Actual racist white people want the complete separation of whites from blacks.
If you are racist against the Chinese, you don't want Chinese people in this country at all, whether they have their own schools and bathrooms or not, or whether they are poorer and have fewer rights.
If you are racist against Hispanics, you don't want Hispanics in this country at all, whether they have their own schools and bathrooms or not, or whether they are poorer and have fewer rights(IE illegal immigrants).
If you are racist against Arabs, you don't want Arabs in this country at all, whether they have their own schools and bathrooms or not, or whether they are poorer and have fewer rights.
If you are racist against black people, you don't want black people in your country at all, whether they have their own schools and bathrooms or not, or whether they are poorer and have fewer rights.
Racist white people don't want to dominate you, they want to get away from you.
Yeah. Why are Republicans supporting people like this? When challenged on it, once he realized how poorly some folks took it he said..
Not a Republican, but businesses should be able to choose their customers using whatever criteria they want. The market will quickly weed out businesses that make such bad decisions.

Yeah, well anti discrimination laws work better than Yelp. Sorry.
