Because in today ' s postfact society , lynching and hanging citizens of all races was something that commonly happened and there were no racial undertones , ever ! Actually over a quarter of all lynching victims were indeed white . Not to mention death by hanging used to be how capital punishment was carried out in the US until sometime in the 70 ' s when the supreme court ruled it unconstitutional . But please , don ' t let facts get in the way . A white man said something that maybe , possibly , could be construed as racist , that ' s where the outrage lies in this story . <| sep |> Is that bad ? <| sep |> This is my excuse for occasionally not showering . But I ' m talking like , when you ' re hungover on a Sunday and have nothing planned and just feel like slobbing it all day .
