It's insane to me that there have been so many cases of black people found hanging recently and they've pretty much all been brushed off.

There's something wrong with the world when a children's entertainer needs to ask the country to bother caring about it.

We can control for location of the hanging. We just need a little more data.

How many hangings in the US over the same time period as the "seven" mentioned above in similar locations: in public, from trees.

I'd bet that those seven are disproportionately represented in that data set.
