This might be the case, but it doesn't make the argument, per se, incorrect. In fact it is a correct argument, that's why it persisted.

- watwut 5y agoIt does make it incorrect. Argument is not "Americans lynch blacks and Americans should stop". Argument was "Americans lynched blacks in the past, therefore it is ok for us to jail internal opponents and ok to kick their loved ones from schools and work". American lynching's are no more relevant then Tibet or ancient Sparta when Havel is talking about events in Eastern Europe.
