No, those would technically be political killings. Racial violence is done by a member or members of one race to a member or members of another race.

Sorry Will... I disagree... it wasn't politics that got those kids killed... they were nothing more than black sympathisers. In fact, most Klan members were democrats at the time. All they cared about was preserving the social order. Racial motivated, not political.
The poor guy that was hung may not have hurt a fly and was a saint in every way. He was probably just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Believe me when I say that people sometimes disappear in these areas, and law enforcement has a healthy respect for caution and self preservation. These communities are well organized and don't like outsiders.
I think the article tries to stir up unfounded controversy and promote fear regarding the tea-party types or right-wingers in general. A disturbing political propaganda trend.
