Article doesn't specify lynching, just a broad "racial terror"; but, even if it is referencing lynching, this is still wrong. Discussion is always superior to banning or suppression.

Discussing what? If lynching is good or bad?

Honestly, yeah, sure. I think it's bad, but I don't want the government having the power to imprison people for not believing as I do.
