CLEVER: Lynchings in USA over an 86-year time-span vs. Homicides in St. Louis over a Decade.

You’ve seen a comparison of black homicides in Detroit over a ten-year span to lynching in America; you’ve seen a comparison of black homicides in Baltimore over a seven-year span to lynching in America.

It’s only natural we’d turn our eyes to St. Louis. . . .

In the entire United States of America, from 1882-1968, 4,743 lynchings occurred in the United States. Of these people that were lynched 3,446 were black. The blacks lynched accounted for 72.7% of the people lynched.

In just one decade in St. Louis, there were 1024 black on black homicides.
