    Let me tell you a little story about where I'm from in Duluth Minnesota.
    Once upon a time, decades ago but sometime after 1901, a traveling circus came to the fine twin ports of Duluth MN. Among the circus travelers were two black acrobats, or maybe they were jugglers, I don't know who cares.. Now in the coming part of this tale, maybe what happened happened because the subconscious racial tension among middle aged whites in the area invented it, or just that slightest spark of the imagination triggered an all-or-nothing violent response.. Or maybe it was the female's doing, and she just wanted to either irritate and entice sexual jealousy in the males of the community, or maybe she just wanted to see what happened.

    Anyways, one of the young girls in the town told her father, or it might have been her brother, or an exboyfriend maybe, I don't know who cares.. that she got raped by the two aforementioned black men. No matter what the circumstances were leading to her invention of this story, the result was catastrophic by anyone's measure.

    The dad (or brother or ex boyfriend or whatever) formed a posse, went downtown to the traveling circus in a rage, and hung the two black guys from a lamp post on 2nd street in downtown Duluth.

    The daughter later told everyone that she made up the story.
    A lesson was hopefully learned that day, by everyone.
    That was a true story by the way, the incident was one of the greater embarrassments in the history of the city. It still evokes an apologetic attitude and humility to people around here whenever it's told again.
