    Newt Gingrich says lynching isn't "an automatically, only black experience." All lynchings matter?https://www.mediamatters.org/view/view-foxs-newt-gingrich-says-lynching-isnt-automatically-only-black-experience …

        As a self-styled historian from Georgia I'm sure Newt is familiar with the Leo Frank case, which...doesn't make this any better?

        Exactly this. Why on earth would a show like The View have this hollow, malevolent liar on the show? Let them stay on Fox News, where the rivers of poison already overflow. Bringing these people onto even reasonably sane chat shows is a grave mistake. #TheView

        Technically, it isn't. There was a Jewish guy, Leo Frank, who was lynched in Georgia in 1915, for example. But if it's not 90% or more AA, I'd be shocked. The museum about lynching in Montgomery is staggeringly powerful.

        On the subject of cross-cultural pollination, I have advocated that the historical event of mass, organized violence against black people in Tulsa back in 1921 should be referred to as a pogrom. (The term "riot" is going out of use, in favor of "massacre." But I say "pogrom.")

        Bet he couldn't name an actual lynching victim

        He’s right. Lynching is when a mob decides to mete out punishment outside due process. It happened a lot (and occasionally still happens) - not just to poc.

        Though in America, and specifically the South, it was used to suppress African Americans, "blacks lynched accounted for 72.7% of the people lynched." Even though African Americans historically make up about 12% of the population. https://www.naacp.org/history-of-lynchings/ …
