While that certainly isnt a statistic to be proud of, it is in fact a fact.
Either you didn't read or comprehend what was cited in post #3 in which case you'll stop being an idiot:
"But perhaps what’s raised the most eyebrows is the location where the video was the shot: the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tenn. In 1927, 18-year-old Henry Choate was famously lynched at the courthouse, his body hanged off the balcony after he was accused of assaulting a white girl who never identified him. The building also played a part in the “Columbia race riot” of 1946."
"In the Aldean video, images of recent demonstrations and destruction are projected on the courthouse, from which hangs a large American flag."
In other words, they put a spotlight on it.
