So would you be ok if it was a black man being lynched too then? I really hope you are joking.

In my own personal opinion, the depiction of the killing of any person as a portrayal of glory is not moral. But that is beside the point.

My question to you is, why does the persons race have anything to do with it? If it isn't a white person being lynched, then you are not allowed to have a depiction of a lynching? To tie this to the way black Americans were treated is desparate.

You DO know that black people were not the only people in America to be hung, right? It has just been ascribed as a visual for the civil rights movement.

Since when did it become accepted logic to believe, "Oh no, someone is saying something I do not like. I better call it racism!"?
