He is correct

According to the Tuskegee Institute, 4,743 people were lynched between 1882 and 1968, including 3,446 African Americans.

Wiki links to a Tuskegee U PDF with the details. 27% white

In the western states, they didn't have so many blacks; but as a species, our inhumanity and ability to be wretched to one another is always just a short reach away.

I read it as 27% were non-black, they could also be Indian, Oriental, or Latino, as well as white.
That doesn't make it any better.
