There's been a list compiled of 4,000 who were lynched - some for things like bumping into a white woman or wearing an Army uniform.

Jesus, man, educate yourself - you sound like an ignoramus.

No, I don't. If I were an ignoramus I would be repeating the fake history that you're repeating.

Again, name these people who were lynched randomly or because they were uppity.

You can't do it because (1) there weren't any (or at the most very few), (2) you're ignorant on the subject, or (3) both of the above.

Is 0.1% really significant?

And why are you including lynchings in which black mobs lynched other blacks?

Some are named in the article I linked to. READ IT instead of asking others to chew your food.

That you're so ignorant to American history means you may not have been born in America, which is fine, but don't insinuate someone is lying based on your lack of education about the subject.

They were 100 years ago. However, that is hardly a leading cause of death today.

From Yale -

***************************
The accusations against persons lynched, according to the Tuskegee Institute records for the years 1882 to 1951, were: in 41 per cent for felonious assault, 19.2 per cent for rape, 6.1 per cent for attempted rape, 4.9 per cent for robbery and theft, 1.8 per cent for insult to white persons, and 22.7 per cent for miscellaneous offenses or no offense at a 11.5 In the last category are all sorts of trivial “offenses” such as “disputing with a white man,” attempting to register to vote, “unpopularity”, self-defense, testifying against a white man, “asking a white woman in marriage”, and “peeping in a window.”

Being charged with a crime did not necessarily mean that the person charged was guilty of the crime. Mob victims ware often known to have been innocent of misdeeds. A special study by Arthur Raper of nearly one hundred lynchings convinced him that approximately one-third of the victims were falsely accused.6 Occasionally mobs were mistaken in the identity of their victims.

Such hatred! Hatred of the truth! Hatred of intelligence! Hatred of independent thinking! Wow!

I read the article. No such cases were mentioned in the article. All the cases in the article were of people who were accused of capital crimes, although the article claims without proof that some were innocent.

Bob, did you see the post I responded to which I quoted? It wasn't about today.

What I said is that the historical narrative regarding lynching is a lie. Blacks were not lynched randomly; they were not lynched because they were "uppity"; they were not the only people who were lynched.

You didn't read the article very carefully if you missed the part about the lynching done because a man bumped into a white woman, or another because the man was wearing an Army uniform.

I get it - you've got a thing against black folks. 'Nuff said.

I think it is getting away from thread topic.

I may not like this businessman, but I hardly fear widespread lynching returning to the USA. Thank God.

The article did not mention any case in which those things happened. It just asserted they happened, without saying when, where, or to whom. You simply have no idea what you're talking about.

I can name one black man who -- according to the records -- was lynched for no good reason, just racial prejudice. And I can give you the when and the where. But you can't name him (or anyone else), because you're just parroting stupid propaganda, and you have no idea of what actually happened. Most lynchings were for murder and rape.
