Was this a real event? All I could find was this
" In the novel, the Day of the Rope was a day in which tens of thousands of white Americans were publicly hanged for being "race criminals" because of acts such as miscegenation or collaborating with Jews."
Certainly, many whites were hung to make an example of what happens when you don't back the status quo (aka the KKK). This is a fraction of the amount of black people hung, but it is still a reminder that no one is safe when you throw logic out the window and embrace hate/racism.
It was real in that it was talked about in some right wing groups as the big event where they take back the country. Day came and no one showed up.
Similar to the naruto run storm area 51 thing from a few years ago but racist.
