Over the entire period of lynching, 70% were black and the other 30% - were whites. The number of lynchings Posted: Oct 7th, 2018 - 1:01 pm In Reply to: Was it - Muslims
peaked in 1892 at 230. Of that number, 161 were black. This means that in 2016, in Chicago alone, more blacks were killed by other blacks than were lynched in any year throughout the entire United States.
Black lynch mobs occasionally lynched blacks, and there is at least one recorded case of blacks lynching a white in 1914 in Clarkesdale, Tennessee, for raping a black woman.
In 1872, in Chicot County, Arkansas, a black mob broke three white men out of jail and riddled them with bullets.
