She spent a short time alone with Till, during which time she now says 
nothing happened.  After that short time, Till whistled at her, which 
caused her husband to believe that something had happened.

Till did not deserve to be killed for whistling at her, but today it 
often enough happens that people are killed for similar acts.

I was in an elevator with a young lady.  A man said "Hello" to that lady 
and smiled at her.  I placed my hand on her shoulder and stared at him 
expressionlessly and silently.  From his reaction I am pretty sure he 
feared I was going to kill him, even though my expression was totally 
neutral, blank, and stone faced.

Because people do get killed for that sort of thing today.  Race has 
nothing to do with it.  That was a murder, not a lynching, and similar 
murders happen today all the time.

The Tulsa massacre was the murder of ten white men by racist blacks, 
followed by whites ethnically cleansing the infestation of dangerous 
blacks from their town.

A black man assaulted a white woman.  He was arrested.

Believing he was likely to be lynched a group of 75 armed blacks went to 
the courthouse and politely asked that he be secured to receive a fair 
trial - the white sheriff told them he would receive a fair trial and 
politely asked them to go home.

These seventy five armed black men confronted a large group of white men 
in a predominantly white area, some of them armed, who they suspected 
intended to lynch the black youth who had assaulted a white woman.  The 
blacks opened fire, killing ten of the white men.

In short, blacks started it, and whites finished it.

If the whites had actually grabbed the youth from the courthouse you 
would have a point.  But the blacks opened fire on suspicion that the 
whites might grab the youth from the courthouse, which is much the same 
thing as blacks lynching whites on vague suspicion, and very different 
from whites lynching blacks on vague suspicion.

> You REALLY are a hard core racist.

So produce your example of someone wrongfully lynched.
