The symbol of lynching (or a noose) transcends the actual act, in America. It's a symbol of oppression that transcends the very fabric of that country -- from its foundation to modern-day life. Every ethnic group (like every person) has subjects that they hold in close contempt, and most people strike out when theirs is hit.
Whether or not it would be beneficial to just get over it, it's not going to happen and should be treated as such, Positive interaction over demanding people just ignore their heritage will make the subject fade into history much more effectively.
