Well wasn't the lynching propaganda similar in some way, used to strike fear into the hearts of blacks and their would be white supporters by conservative, backward, anachronistic barbarians? That same propaganda was turned around on the US by the Soviets at the security council to show what capitalism and classism does to people. I think there's a strong parallel there.
