Recent issues

With evolving changes of racial dynamics and specific examples, more attention could be paid to particular lynching cases in areas with a higher immigrant population and where other minorities experience similar difficulties. ~~~~

Why the extreme focus on America when lynchings have historical context far before America existed?

I don’t understand the extreme focus on the US for this (and so many other) topic. 2605:59C8:6297:5C10:4C9E:8054:3DFB:FCC9 (talk) 17:16, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-black lynchings

Of course lynching does have a history closely linked to racialism however over a third of all lynchings in the U.S. were not black victims. I think there should be a section dealing with them. John Not Real Name (talk) 18:38, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
