Lynch mob

White workers have organized lynchmobs, raped Black women, mutilated Black children, engaged in strikes to protest the employment of Black co-workers, voted for white supremacist candidates in overwhelming numbers (e.g., George Wallace in the Democratic Party’s presidential primaries in 1972), and have created all-white unions.

The heroines of these plays speak out against intraracial biases, stereotyping, lynchmobs, illiteracy, poverty, promiscuity, self-righteousness, verbally abusive men, rape, and miscegenation. […] Without warning the doctor, she chokes the life out of her child in order to keep him safe from white lynchmobs.

And we are simply told that a crowd, a moment before desirous of worshipping Paul, have been turned in a moment into a howling lynchmob, all by some seductive whisperings of Luke’s ubiquitous Elders of Zion.
