Was that really like that back then, or that is a movie only with hyped up drama? I mean I heard of lynchings by the KKK but I always thought it was for murder or rape, not for race mixing only?
Watch at 11.00 minute there is the lynching scene. They asked him "Are you the father of that abomination" and then they say the punishment for that is death penalty, but because he had a white friend, he got away with only his "tongue" being cut off, the white friend had to choose whether its his balls, his tongue or his eyes, and the white friend said tongue, and saved his life.
