What myths and fears were used to justify the lynching of black men?

Black men are being victimized because of the accusation that they raped white women, but of this there is no history, it was a motive that was used to justify the lynching. That blacks were inferior to whites and therefore there was justification for this society as a whole to be overthrown. Also because they were becoming a primitive race.

i'm pretty sure i had this question the other day and b was the right answer.
