Nonsense, Keith.

"Historians have struggled for years to figure out just how many blacks were lynched. Now, thanks to a new report from the Equal Justice Initiative, the numbers are coming into clearer focus. The Alabama-based organization said its researchers have documented 6,500 lynchings between 1865 and 1950, including 2,000 attacks during Reconstruction that weren’t tallied in its previous reports."

Good grief, how can someone be so ignorant of the hangings and other terror tactics used by bigoted SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS against black people? Not during slavery only, but up until the 1960s, when the feds under JFK began prosecuting the terrorists.

Sounds like cowboys are in trouble...lol

Boy the Democrats were sure busy between 1865 and 1950... I am surprised they even had time to run for office ...

According to Wikipedia Nancy Pelosi first ran for office in 1865.

The "knot" was developed and used in "scientific" hanging because when the large stack of loops was positioned correctly alongside the head and the person was dropped through the door the stack would snap the head to the side while simultaneously the loop would jerk a vertebrae from the neck in the opposite direction resulting in a broken neck more times than not. It was a very fast and efficient way of execution unlike lynch style hanging where the person is just hoisted off the ground with the rope around thier neck or kicked off a short platform and left to struggle and choke until they expire. I envision "strangle" hanging to be one of the worst ways in this world to die ranks right up there with the brazen bull. And to Jbyrd63 they don't call nooses racist because of black slaves being hanged. They call it racist because of all the free black people that were hung in the years following the Civil War and all the way up past the Civil rights movement. There have been countless free black people left hanging by organizations like the KKK "which was founded by democrats" and other white power organizations. But that is no longer the case in our country because if it were it would be the only thing you would ever get to see on television for the rest of your life.
