Strange Fruit Response Paragraph

Billy Holiday was trying to point out how cruel to black people the southerners were, and how out of place racism was in the South. In the second stanza the author atlernates between good lines and bad lines. I think she is doing this to emphasize the atrocity of the situation. She also calls the dead bodies strange fruit. This is very strange, I think she is trying to show how out of place the lynch's were.
