Poor choice of words to be sure, especially with the state's dark past.
However, unless someone can prove it was intended to be racist, it's nothing but a case of "speaking before thinking".

Is this really where we've gotten ourselves to? Are we at the point that politicians feel so emboldened by a racist president that they not longer feel that it's necessary to hide their own racism? Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi is in a run-off election on Nov. 27th with an African-American opponent Mike Espy.

Mississippi senator, whose runoff opponent is black, jokes about 'public hanging'
A video of U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith , R-Miss., who faces a runoff against an African-American opponent, joking about attending "a public hanging" went viral Sunday as she insisted there was nothing negative about her remark.
"If he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row," Hyde-Smith said during a campaign stop in Tupelo, Mississippi. The man she was referring to was identified as a local rancher.
"If he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row"- Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith says in Tupelo, MS after Colin Hutchinson, cattle rancher, praises her.

Hyde-Smith's opponent in the runoff is former Secretary of Agriculture Mike Espy.
...The racial elements of the comment were lost on few in a state where 38 percent of the population is black, and it earned a fair amount of backlash on social media.
Yeah but the standard has become that unless you can read their minds, it's not racist because intentions can always be denied.Joking about a public hanging is one Hell of an example of a poor choice of words.
That's the thing, when you shift the onus from what a person did, to what their intensions were, then it doesn't matter what they did, because intensions are subjective, and unverifiable.WHat do you think that? Racist comments don't have to be INTENDED to show someone is a deep racist.

We can only get past racism if racists are allowed to freely express themselves without consequence like they always have in the US.
That's the only way things change. By staying the same.
Duh.

I don't know, I just don't see it. Is this a regional phrase that I've never heard before? Something like "I trust this person enough that if they asked me to go to the worst spectacle I can think of I'd still watch from the front row". I don't really read it as "hey lets hang a black guy".Is this really where we've gotten ourselves to? Are we at the point that politicians feel so emboldened by a racist president that they not longer feel that it's necessary to hide their own racism? Sen.

C'mon, dude. He might've not thought before he spoke, or even intended to say that, but you can't seriously tell me that that wasn't a racist comment.
I don't really know this person. Not the greatest comment to make. But, this country, in the old west, had public hangings on a regular basis. It was probably an innocent comment. Many people on the left try taking comments that were made innocently and use them to play the race card.
I'm getting the feeling that they need to tattoo swastikas on their backs to be deemed racists.More than that, unless someone signs a sworn affidavit stating “I am racist” the person cannot be deemed a racist.

Better get a thought lawyer and argue your thought innocence before thought judges - it's the only way to stop the white genocide.The agenda is naked at this point. They use language as a cudgel.
What's really scary is that they are indicting white people of thought crimes.
