The Lynching Myths
Let's begin here by addressing a few myths regarding lynching incidents involving American Negroes (1882 to 1960).
Myth I:
Prior to the Voting Rights Act (1965), it was very common, particularly in the South, for White people to round up Black men who tried to vote … and LYNCH them. Not true. At least I cannot find ONE verifiable archive newspaper account of such an event. Perhaps one or maybe even a few incidents did occur. If so, it/they likely happened during the Reconstruction years (1865 to 1878). Of further note, in 1963, two years before the passage of the Voting Rights Act, 43% of all eligible Blacks in the South were registered to vote. And if that percent seems low, remember, this was two years prior to LBJ’s launching of his Great Society socialist programs i.e. most blacks believed little purpose was served going to the polls to vote prior to 1963 , since – the way they saw it – there were no gov’t rewards for doing so. There were voting "irregularities" mainly in Mississippi and Texas. (SOURCE: Chronological History Of The Negro -- year 1963)
Myth II:
More Blacks were lynched in the South because that's where most of the racist White people lived. Not true. First, according to the the US census in 1910, 89% of blacks lived in the South. By 1930, almost 80% were still living in the South. Point? Since more than 8 out of 10 blacks lived in the South in this time frame here, one should not be surprised to see most of the racial problems, violence and strife coming from this region. Second, there was without question a determined effort in the South among White people to have the Black race live separately (it was actually quite the norm everywhere in America where white people required separate living arrangements with Blacks). However, there was, prior to 1964, nothing illegal or even immoral in this desire. Nor was it an act of racism. One distinct people living separate from another distinct people was not just the norm in American history up until 1964, but human history as well. Regarding lynching... When a White person was attacked (rape or murder) and the perpetrator was Black, this was seen as an attack on "the group" and White people responded more often than not with uncharacteristic ferocity. Blacks were rarely ever assaulted (rape or murder) by a White person in the South. 99.9% of the cases I have found where unprovoked violence crossed racial lines, it was Black-on-White ... and the result was a raging and maddened mob out for revenge. These were the times in which they lived. The vast number of attacks by Blacks on innocent southern White people, including rape, in this type of atmosphere, boggles my mind. Again, the lynching of Blacks in the South was not about racism. It was seen as a necessary response at that time for a criminal act (usually rape or murder). Here's another point to consider. If racism drove White people in the South to lynch the Black man...then why was lynching dying out in the late 1920s? (in 1929 7 Blacks were lynched; 8 Blacks lynched in 1936 ; 8 Blacks lynched in 1937; 6 Blacks lynched in 1938; 2 Backs lynched in 1939 ). Didn't civil-rights activists in the 60s refer to the South as "the hotbed of racism"? So why did lynching die out in the so-called racist South? Maybe Black-on-White violence dissipated to almost nothing starting in the late 1920s? Of course not. I believe lynching died out for two main reasons: 1) It lost its manly appeal - the feeling that it was every man's responsibility to enforce the law and not just the sheriff; 2) It FAILED to stop the black males' predatory assaults on white females/ males and law enforcement officers.
Myth III:
White people lynched 3,446 Negroes between 1882 and 1968. Not true. First, the lynch figure for Blacks has been reduced downward to around 3000 (LINK pg#9). Second, there is no way of knowing precisely how many of the lynched Blacks were lynched by fellow Blacks. No question about it though, White males were ready to lynch a Black male (or even a black female) for any murder, rape or sexual assault of any kind perpetrated against a White person. Those were the times in which they lived. Blacks were fully aware what crimes could provoke a lynching. After all, Blacks were lynching Blacks for the very SAME crimes.
NOTE: The lynching figure for Blacks would be much, much, much higher, if not for White law enforcement protecting them from raging mobs. - LINK (note the reasons cited for the lynchings)
MYTH IV
White people used lynchings as a method of social and racial control, meant to terrorize black Americans into submission. Not true. Here are a few examples of black behavior in the early 1900s toward white people.
1. Atlanta, GA. - 1900: Black male bully sat on a white male's lap while riding a on street car, deliberately trying to humiliate and antagonize him. A fight ensued and the black male pulled a concealed gun and gunned down the young white male. Oh, and in the state of Georgia in 1900, the color-line mandate was not being enforced, so blacks could sit in any available seat. lLink
2. Shreveport, La. - 1901: Black Supremacist organization advocated violence against white people. One white male was murdered. Link
3. Columbus, Ga. - 1900: Negro crawled into the bedroom of young white girl thru an open window and attempted to rape her. Link
4. Columbus, Mo. 1901 - Negro raped his employer's wife...then shot her in the head
Brother-in-law of murder victim: "I want to speak to him, how many times we cared for him and how kind Mary was to him, and ask him why he killed her. Then, when he has answered that, I want to see him burned." Link
5. Tuscumbia, Ala. - 1901: It's a MASSACRE - Negro petty criminal ambushed sheriff and deputy and murdered both - he then gunned down seven more white males - four dead. Link (note: the death count was later revised)
6. Dublin, Ga. -1908: Two Negro employees invaded the home of their [white] employer, beat him senseless with an ax, gang raped his wife ... then slashed her to pieces demanding to know the whereabouts of household money Link
7. Satton, W.Va. - 1908: Home Invasion By Negroes - White male homeowner was tied to a tree then whipped -- negroes then gang raped his wife (no, I'm not kidding) Link
8. Hot Springs Ark. - 1908: Negro cook , who worked for a white household, decided he gonna have a little fun with hungry young white male - taunts him with food offer - makes him work in the blazing heat until he can't work any longer... Negro then guns him down. Link
9. Eufala, Ala. 1911: Prominent American woman was stalked by a negro sexual predator as she walked from a neighbor's home to her home. The negro finally grabbed her and wrestled her to the ground. As the negro started to tear her clothes off ... to rape her... her desperate screams for help saved her. White males quickly came to her rescue. Link
10. Stephensport, Ky. - 1904: Negroes "Lynch" Young White Male - If Emmit Till murder was a "lynching" than this one should also be judged a lynching as well. Two negro brothers went after a young white male who , their sister claimed, "insulted her". When they found the young white male ... they slit his throat from ear to ear. source
Are you now convinced you've been lied to about Black behavior toward White people in the early 1900s ? Or would you like to read more than a thousand other incidents? LINK
-------------------------------------
In America between 1882 and 1968 there were three recognized legitimate sources for lynching data:: Chicago Tribune, Tuskegee Institute and the NAACP. The criteria for a "lynching" (created by the NAACP) requires four conditions to exist : (1) there must be evidence that a person was killed; (2) the person must have met death illegally; (3) a group of three or more persons must have participated in the killings (to rule out personal vendettas, etc.); and (4) the group must have acted under the pretext of protecting justice or tradition. Chicago Tribune began its lynching data in 1882; Tuskegee in 1892; NAACP sometime after 1913.
Note: When you see a reason cited for the lynching on any link, remember this:: When a Black man was found dangling (lynched) by White people, there was obviously no information available to accurately establish a reason for the lynching. So what would the person at Tuskegee (or the Tribune or the NAACP) do for citing a reason for the lynching? Well, he could easily manufacture a reason. There was no law against this practice. So when you come across preposterous reasons for Blacks being lynched, like "Acting suspiciously", "Quarreling", "Insulting a White man" , "Trying to vote", etc., don't believe it unless there is a verifiable source ( e.g. newspaper article) and the name of the Negro is given along with the cited reason for the lynching. Also, citing a fictitious reason like "quarreling" has another intended and insidious purpose:: It implies that 'barbaric' White people did the lynching. Right?

We'll now look at some examples of Negroes lynching Negroes.
-------------------------------------------------
1.  |
Another example of Negroes lynching a Negro --unknown person and unknown offense (circa 1955) - and found dangling by local white people. A white male rushed home to get his camera to snap this pic before authorities could remove the body. Police also believed suicide was a possibility in this one, since the Negro's hands were not tied.
Lynched By Negroes: Ernest Harrison, Sam Reed, and Frank Howard --1901, Wickliffe, Kentucky. Offense: Murder/Robbery [SOURCE]
  Note: Could be white male vigilantes hung these four (possible names: John Jones, Virgil Jones, John Boyer, Joe Riley). The four were implicated in the murder of a white male
----------
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Negroes' Inhumanity Toward Fellow Negroes? 
The scarred Negro above was a slave most likely owned by one of the largest slaveholders in the state of Louisiana, a Negro woman named C. Richards (he wondered into a Union army camp not far from her plantation). The widowed Negro, along with her son, P.C. Richards, owned a large - and very profitable - Louisiana sugar plantation and had a stable of 152 Negro slaves. There was a story circulated which claims that this slave, who went by the name of Gordon, was whipped because he was a runaway. But no evidence exists to substantiate this "story." It could also be that Gordon committed a very serious crime (most likely against a fellow Negro) for which he was punished. Gordon escaped from his master in the spring of 1863 and, after a ten day journey, found sanctuary among [white] Union troops.
Note: If the scars on Gordon's back did come from a whip, the most likely perpetrator would be the Negro overseer (slave-driver). There is also a claim that Gordon was in the service of the US Army 'colored' regiment, however, no record exists to substantiate this claim. Highly unlikely this Negro would flee the slavery of one place (a plantation) and volunteer for de facto slavery in another (US Army). Gorgon could very likely have been a lazy Negro who not only didn't like to work but also didn't like taking orders. Gordon's actual whereabouts after this pic was taken are unknown. And one finale observation. Gordon's back scars, which look like they've healed many , many, many years prior to the photo, could also be from (indeed, looks very likely) a burn injury. Perhaps thru an accident some hot grease or water spilled on him when he was a young lad. Of course, there would be NO story for Harper's Weekly magazine if that version was reported. http://click.si.edu/Image.aspx?image=796&story=297&back=Story

Given the fact that this type of crime on a child was virtually non-existent among white males and the victim being black...it seems to me the white male should have been given a chance to answer his accuser.

1951
South Carolina Lynching Law...Exposes Blacks As The Major Perpetrators Of Lynching In The State A tough anti-lynching law was passed at the insistence of white males in 1951, after the lynching of a black male - who murdered a white taxi driver. A recent follow up study has revealed that blacks have been the racial group responsible for the vast majority of lynchings in the state -- Blacks have been arrested for 67% of all the lynching since 1952. Shocked? Honestly, I am not at all shocked. Blacks have been the major source of violence in America since they began their migration to the Anglo-created urban centers beginning in circa 1900. I have documented this violence HERE |
