Has anybody suggested the song inspired any lynchings? All I see is people saying that the song seem to think there was something good about lynchings in the past and whether that isn't a very troublesome thing in light of the baggage associated with lynchings in this country.

The author of the article was concerned it advocated lynchings. I was pointing out that the song was #1 on the charts when it was released and there were no lynchings as a result.
