Lynching is an act of terror used to uphold white supremacy. Try again.
Conversation
It was used for far more than white supremacy. It was used as a form of punishment a.k.a. a death penalty for criminals...but you knew that, you just wanted to throw out a race card today so congrats you found a way to pander and its only 10:30 in the morning on the east coast.

You used that term to push a fake hate crime.

Pick up a dictionary. Lynching has happened to people of all races, creeds, colors, religions, guilty & innocent alike. Democrats have abandoned me & America with this trash. Reagan was right. It has taken me 30 years to see this. Thanks Cory for changing my vote.

WRONG!
lynch [lin(t)SH]
VERB
lynching (present participle) · lynching (noun)
(of a mob) kill (someone), especially by hanging, for an alleged offense with or without a legal trial.
Y'all in the #FakeNewsMedia should read more..
Technically lynching is an extrajudicial killing by a group. As opposed to a legal execution by hanging. Such as was the case when another bunch of parasites tried to undo the democratic process by taking out the duly elected US President.

Well I can see how you would feel proprietary about that word, since you're a Democrat and the paramilitary arm of the Dems, the KKK, is best known for their lynchings.
But, those aren't the only lynchings that have taken place in our history and you don't own that word.
