Hi all,
"Lynching" since about 1870 has commonly been understood in the U.S. to mean "extrajudicial killing of blacks for such offenses as associating with whites of the opposite sex". I'd suggest getting off this topic which brings back bad memories for some.

Actually I didn't know that - I for one just think of "lynching" as synomynous with "beating". Then again, I could just be an ignorant, racist, American ;-)
