Post-Reconstruction Courts declared racial discrimination settled while lynchings continued.

Evidence

The fact that black people were subject to continued racial discrimination did not warrant unique consideration, according to the Court. The issue of slavery had been settled. Neither the Thirteenth nor the Fourteenth Amendment gave Congress the power to restrict racial discrimination in the private sector. Black people were now like everyone else. Tragically, more than 2,000 black people were lynched in the United States between 1882 and 1903. Didn’t matter: the problem had been solved. — Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Democracy in Black, 105
