Spey, this is not a personal attack on you, but an attempt to educate. From 1882-1968, 4,743 documented lynchings occurred in the United States. Of these, 3,446 (73 percent) were black and 1,297 (27 percent) were white. So, since more then a quarter of all Americans lynched where white, why is the use of the word now considered racist? Also don't forget that the KKK lynched, murdered and terrorized white Republicans, as well as blacks.
