Actually, there have been a number of lynchings here since then,
according to FBI figures, and the vast majority are committed by blacks
against other blacks... Like the use of the N word, lynching has become
absorbed into US black culture as an internally acceptable social
mechanism. It's only when whites use the same tools that it becomes
offensive to the black community.
