Boy, are you dumb. I mean really, flagrantly dumb. Tell me, boy, as governor of Missouri in 1999, how many of those 10 executions did Clinton preside over? And also as governor of Oklahoma in 1999, how many of those 6 executions did Clinton preside over? And as governor of South Carolina in 1999 as well, how many of those 4 executions did Clinton preside over? In addition as governor of Virginia in 1999, how many of those 14 executions did Clinton preside over? I KNOW! In 1999 when he was ALSO governor of Texas how many of those 35 executions did he preside over?
The belief in coincidence is strong with this one.

Well, you claim Clinton was (somehow) associated with that banner year for executions. Meanwhile, if you recall, dumbya was governor of Texas and was personally, directly responsible for over a third of the country's total during his reign of terror in Texas. In 2000, while the national rate dropped the Texas rate rose. And dumbya alone was accountable for half the total in the entire country. Then, when he went to the big house - oh, I mean the White House - the execution rate in Texas dropped from 40 in 2000 to 17 in 2001.
But your mind seems to have skipped off the reality track on that one. Surely, you think, dumbya couldn't have had anything to do with all those executions in Texas while he was governor! It MUST have SOMEthing to do with Clinton, SOMEhow.

2 of those sentenced to death while W was Gov. of Texas were the guys who auto-lynched James Byrd. The other guy got life in prison, yet the naacp still ran a ridiculous ad featuring the daughter of Mr Byrd, in which she chastised W for not passing hate-crime legislation, which would have done exactly nothing to the men who killed her father.
THey can't execute the scum any more than W's Texas already did, but never doubt some to keep on playing the race card, no matter what.

What else would you expect from the agenda-driven lying racist NAACP?

You seem to think lynching isn't the murder of someone because of their race. That's crazy.

Let's deconstruct this sentence, shall we ?
Lynching. It's an action. As described by Wiki -
Lynching is an extrajudicial punishment by an informal group. It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob, often by hanging, in order to punish an alleged transgressor, or to intimidate a minority group. It is an extreme form of informal group social control such as charivari, skimmington, riding the rail, and tarring and feathering, but with a drift toward the public spectacle.[1][2]
First of all, it may not necessarily involve murder. To further quote Wiki...
The origins of the word lynch are obscure, but likely originates during the American revolution. The term originates from the phrase "Lynch Law", a term for a punishment without trial. Two Americans during this era are generally credited for the phrase: Charles Lynch and William Lynch, who both lived in Virginia in the 1780s. Charles Lynch has the better claim, as he was known to have used the term in 1782, while William Lynch isn't known to have used the term until much later. There is no evidence that death was imposed as a punishment by either of the two men.[13]
In the United States, the state of origin of the terms lynching and lynch law is traditionally attributed to a Virginia Quaker named Charles Lynch.[14] Charles Lynch (1736–1796) was a Virginia planter and American Revolutionary who headed a county court in Virginia which incarcerated Loyalist supporters of the British for up to one year during the war. While he lacked proper jurisdiction, he claimed this right by arguing wartime necessity. Subsequently, he prevailed upon his friends in the Congress of the Confederation to pass a law which specifically exonerated him and his associates from wrongdoing. He was concerned that he might face legal action from one or more of those so incarcerated, even though the American Colonies had won the war. This move by the Congress provoked controversy, and it was in connection with this that the term "Lynch law", meaning the assumption of extrajudicial authority, came into common parlance in the United States. Lynch was never accused of racist bias, and indeed acquitted blacks accused of murder on three separate occasions, as dictated by the facts brought before him.[15][16]
So, lynching by it's definition and etymology clearly does NOT mean murder, nor does it refer to punishment purely based on the race of the victim.
And as for what I supposedly think about lynching not being murder because of someone's race... you are correct. I don't think that, because that's not what it is. How is that " crazy " ?
And as for the murder of James Byrd being because of his race, to quote your gal pal Hillary, what difference, at this point, does it make ?
He was brutally murdered. There's no denying that. Two of his killers were put to death, and 1 serves life in prison. You don't get much more punishment than that, so this ASININE and ridiculous concept of a "HATE" crime, really does serve no purpose. What so ever.
1kiki , the only " crazy " here I see is you.

Historical meaning is not current meaning. CURRENTLY - within the last 170 years or so - according to your source as applicable to blacks it means this:
It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob, often by hanging, in order to punish an alleged transgressor, or to intimidate a minority group.
It would have been nice if you had read your own source and applied its definition. On second thought, naw, that would be 'crazy'.

So, can we move past this meaningless diversion and agree that lynching means what its accepted definition indicates? Rappy, jongsie - any confusion about or disagreement with normal modern English?

No. The word does NOT mean a narrow, race specific act. Pout and stomp all you want, but you can't arbitrarily change the meanings of words just to get a " win " on some gorram political forum on the internet.

I didn't say it ONLY meant a racially motivated act. What I posted was this: 'as applicable to blacks'. So, as applicable to blacks - how about you consult your own source? If you have a disagreement with their definition of ordinary modern English - why did you cite it? And if you find you just can't accept the definition - how about you take it up with them?
