I understand what you're saying. I'm saying it isn't relevant whether anybody lynched anybody because of the song.
I don't have any idea who either Toby Keith or M.I.A. is/are. You seem to be taking this personally. You shouldn't, it is ok to be entertained by a homophobic racist who would like all black people to be lynched (if that is what Keith is, I'm not saying he is).
But reading about M.I.A. it seems she is quite open about the politics and advocacy of her music. I don't know if I find the lyrics you've posted problematic because I don't know what she is trying to say with them.
I also don't know for certain what Keith is trying to say with his song. But at least on surface reading it seems to be pretty explicit in its yearning for a bygone era of more instantaneous (and harsher) judgment.
