Because it's still out there as nasty as it use to be. They just don't get away with it as much... so far.

The savage killing of James Byrd Jr shook the conscience of the nation, reviving America’s nightmarish legacy of lynching and racially motivated violence. One hot night in June 1998, a trio of young men driving along a country road near Jasper offered Byrd a ride. Instead, they beat him, chained his ankles to the back of their pick-up truck and dragged him for more than two miles.
