Yes, such lynchings occurred too many times; however to keep things in perspective, blacks have killed more blacks in inner city violence than were killed by whites in the post-slavery lynching years. 

Don't try to deviate from the subject. 

These are HATE CRIMES, meant to drive white pride into American hearts by burning and desecrating the black race.  Blacks killing blacks are just dumb criminals trying to get a fix or to even something out.  Very, VERY different scenarios--which cannot be even remotely compared.

Which is more prevalent today?

I don't understand the nature of the question.  I am pretty sure that there are more blacks killing blacks than whites killing blacks if that is your aim.

Then that would be the greater threat to black persons today. In 1919, say, the opposite would have been true most likely.

Nice pic. This is one of the few places where cavalry still had it's uses in the 20th century. If I am not mistaken, a young officer by the name of Francisco Franco made a name for himself in Morocco.

The colonial troops stationed in Morocco, which included the Spanish Foreign Legion, were some of the most effective troops the nationalists had during the civil war. Arriba Espana!
