Why aren't Italian-Americans triggered by the term "lynching" ?

[DigitalDrifter]

Afterall, the largest mass lynching in American history was against Italians.

Guess they can handle it and control themselves better.

The Grisly Story of America’s Largest Lynching
Innocent Italian-Americans got caught in the crosshairs of a bigoted mob.

A mob of tens of thousands of angry men surrounded a New Orleans jail, shouting angry slurs and calling for blood. By the time they were done, 11 men would be dead—shot and mutilated in an act of brutal mob violence that took place in front of a cheering crowd. It was 1891, and the crowd was about to participate in the largest lynching in U.S. history.

The term comes from the Revolutionary War and it is eponymous.
Justice of the Peace Charles Lynch of Virginia used hanging as a means of suppressing loyalist support for king George of England.
Implying the term has only racial connotations is wrong but when have democrats let that stop them?

How about all those dudes who got lynched for cattle rustling when all they really did was try to get into the cattle baron's daughters pants.

In Portland, three schools had to be renamed that were donated by the Lynch family over a hundred years ago.

Blacks can't handle the term, and white liberals are quick to bend over and grab their ankles for them.

This was not the largest lynching in US history. The largest lynching in US history took place in July 1863, during the New York City draft riots. New York, then just Manhattan, was filled with many Irish immigrants who despised blacks, and many were supporters of the South in the Civil War, with much of New York's economy closely tied to southern cotton shipments.

In all, the riot was, by far, the largest in US history with white rioters blaming blacks for the problem of whites being drafted to fight against the South. Many New Yorkers said "I'm going not to take up arms against fellow Americans."

The rioters burned buildings all over Manhattan, went crazy, and killed over 120 blacks, many of them lynched from trees and lampposts. Many were also beaten to death with clubs and bats. Some were shot. White dockworkers also attacked and destroyed brothels, dance halls, boarding houses, and tenements that catered to black people.

Actually nobody implied that until you did.

The fact remains however that the vast majority of the literally thousands of lynchings in this country victimized blacks who were considered "uppity". That's simple history.

What the OP has here is called cherrypicking. He seems to think the board is stupid enough to buy his fallacious bullshit. For one thing, lynching of black people went on for decades from the end of the Civil War (and before) up to WW2 (and after). OP wants to cover that up with a single incident.

Depending on how broadly we define "lynching", I believe the Tulsa Race Riots took more victims. For one.

The statement >> "Deaths were estimated anywhere between 39 and 300." is not conclusive enough for a conclusion. If it would have been, I could have quoted Herbert Asbury, the author of the 1928 book Gangs of New York, upon which the 2002 film was based, who put the New York draft riots figure much higher, at 2,000 killed and 8,000 wounded,[24]

The only good thing about this is that, despite it being red meat for his base, that base is getting smaller and smaller. I don't think he'll be run out of office by either the Democrats or the Republicans, but by his own mouth.
