Let's go through the items that are socially unacceptable.

Lynching

Lynching is a form of extrajudicial killing. It targets people who are believed to have committed a crime. Most of the victims of lynching in America were white. A disproportionate number of them were black, but then, black people commit more crime. While I'd rather the police do their job, lynching as a practice doesn't seem to me to indicate anyone feels white people are superior.

Hate crimes

Hate crimes are a socially constructed phenomenon whereby for using an ethnic slur while committing assault, one will get a far harsher sentence. Using a political slur (Nazi, commie, bigot, hater) does not have the same effect. One has to be more concerned about the slurs one uses to insult someone than whether you've beaten him over the head. The use of a slur during an assault is no evidence that the perpetrator secretly thinks that white people are superior.

Blackface

Blackface originated from white people dressing as black people, often in a mocking and offensive way. Up until maybe 20 years ago, simply dressing up as a black man with face paint was not considered "blackface", and was perfectly acceptable. Dressing as another race, sex, profession, or age is what acting was all about. The only reason it has become so taboo and offensive to blacks to dress up as a black person is because of media influence. Without media influence, blacks probably wouldn't mind that people dressed up as Barack Obama at a party.

The N Word

Again, media influence has made this particular slur worse than any other, and use of it has no relationship to believing white people are superior.

Swastikas

A symbol of European history and heritage, the humble swastika has been utterly destroyed in its reputation, not by the NSDAP, but by the port-WWII narrative surrounding it. The same happens ultimately to any symbols of European heritage.

Neo-Nazis

What they mean by Neo-Nazis includes everyone on this forum. It is a term with so broad a brush that anybody defending European heritage (or white people in general) will be tarred with it.

Burning Crosses

Like the swastika, burning crosses, marching with torches, and similar rituals are a part of European tradition. They really don't want any European heritage to survive (they want to destroy everything we love).

Racist Jokes

Racist jokes are told because they are breaking a taboo. The majority of people telling racist jokes aren't even racially aware themselves; they just laugh at the uncomfortableness of the situation, much as with jokes about rape, murder or dead babies.

Racial Slurs

Similar to hate crimes above, racial slurs are elevated to a special status as compared to any other insult. It's okay to hate realtors, bankers, or communists - even use slurs against them - but insult a protected class like Jews and there'll be hell to pay.

KKK

The KKK barely exists. I'm really surprised why it's still on these lists. Are there any non-feds in the KKK?

Knock-out game, dog-piling, shootings, and all the other forms of assault that non-blacks suffer under blacks is just modern day lynching. A wrong, real or perceived, is alleged to happen, and swift "justice" is carried out.

Hate crimes - unless you're white https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/07/07/canadian-judge-punching-a-caucasian-and-yelling-i-hate-white-people-isnt-a-hate-crime/

Blackface - cultural appropriation goes both ways, but as usual there is a double standard.

modern day lynching

No, lynching was AFAIK for committing a crime, not "let's kill us a nigger", that wouldn't be done by a large group because people are decent in general. A few redneck idiots kill Blacks but hardly as many as negro assholes kill Whites for fun, or simply "play" "knockout game".

I was speaking more in terms of the outcome of the actions, not the rationale. One is condemned while the other is tolerated.

Your point on the first one about whites being lynched more is flat out wrong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_in_the_United_States

According to the Tuskegee Institute, 4,743 people were lynched between 1882 and 1968 in the United States, including 3,446 African Americans and 1,297 whites.

You appear to be correct. I knew that initially lynching affected white men most prominently; I thought it amounted to slightly more whites than blacks but it looks like I was mistaken.

It's almost like 13/50
