What do you write on the back of a postcard like this? "Dear Mom, having a wonderful time in Alabama. Last night uncle Billy Bob took us to a lynching and then afterward we had pizza. Love, Jimmy"

Ha ha. I take it you know little of the south of the US.
The South used to have a huge following of the KKK (Klu Kluk Klan), a racist group that hated Yankiees, Blacks and or thers that didn't follow their beliefs.
They used to write on the back of these post cards and say they were actually on the spot of where the lynching was. Spat on the spot the Niggar was burned, hanged, or danced on it's spot, etc.... (whatever hateful thing they could think of)

Also spread stories, lies, and inspire hate on the back of these post cards with the story of the lynching.

Hate in the South used to be much more open and accepted.

It is still bad in the South. The Confederate flag flies over the state capital in South Carolina. There was such an uprising when they tried to pass legislation requiring the state to remove it that riots brewed under the surface. It is still not safe for those that are Northerners, Catholic, Non-Caucasian, etc. to travel in some areas of the South. I was on job assignments throughout Mississippi and Alabama and had to watch very carefully what I said and who I said it to. Religion was a non-topic. If asked, I believed what they believed and would go to a revival and play with snakes and drink moonshine if necessary to fit in. In rural parts, they still drive around with the gun racks in the back windows of their pick-up trucks with their Confederate window screens and their beliefs spelled out in bumper stickers. We are not over segregation in this country and with the election of our new President the fires have been fanned that were smouldering for years. Hate does not die. It just hides until the moment is right then rears it's ugly head and starts it mayhem all over again.

When the Nazis were doing the widespread round-ups and killings of the Jews, etc. spectators came out to watch, bring the kids, have some ice cream and take pictures. While naked men, women, and children were marched out, forced to turn around, machine-gunned in the back and their bodies allowed to flop and roll down the hills in which they were standing on top of, the wives of the officers and local Germans were standing on the sideines, shooting the breeze and have a merry old time. Pictures were taken and when developed were shared and placed in albums like it was Christmas morning memory. I am all for public executions and all, but this steps way over the line. In Texas, the standing joke is that executions are the state's pastime. Bush's claim to fame was that he had the highest number of individuals on death row that were actually put to death. Whenever there was an execution, the area around the prison became a boomtown. Hotels filled up. Bars and restaurants were packed and the city made a mint. You joke about the message on the back of a postcard, but I am sure it has been written many times as boys were taken to their first lynching as part of their rites of passage in that day. In the US, we did not circumcise boys in village festivals or perform body scarification as a sign of their becoming an adult. No, we allowed them to hunt - humans, whose only crime was the color of their skin or the church they attended. If you ask me, I think we have crossed a line we should never have been near in the first place.

I cant read some of the last sentence on postcard. crazy and disturbing,but somewhat intruiging(like all public exuctions)
 
I don't necessarily think displaying the Confederate flag or being proud of the southern heritage is a bad thing, but sadly, extremists and supremacists made the whole situation fairly bad.
 
Not all lynchings occurred in the Southern States. I noticed a picture above that was taken of a lynching in Duluth, Minnesota in 1920.
 
Yes You are correct.
The last known mob lynching was in San Jose CA. back in the 1950's.
 
This is the photo, and then their alive pics. They were both cute. I had a book with a large picture of them but I lost it. I hope I can find it because all the pics on the internet of them are too small.
