Interesting, guess I have to update my priors on that. I assumed they were more common than that set of statistics suggests. Thanks for pointing that out!
No problem, and I know you know this, but for anyone else, I'm not trying to minimize the larger point, or the violence that was prevalent that wasn't an actual lynching.
Not disputing your larger point, but lynchings dropped off a lot by WWII.
