Rainbow-colored nooses removed from tree on Tennessee campus

Police at Austin Peay State University in Tennessee have removed six rainbow colored nooses - widely seen as a symbol of racial hatred - hanging from a tree on campus, the school said.

Police on Monday took down the row of nooses found near the university fine arts building on the main campus in Clarksville, Tennessee, after receiving several complaints, the school said in a statement.

"This incident is deeply disturbing and is hurtful to our university community," said university president Alisa White. "I am saddened, and I am sorry for the hurt and offense this has caused."

The intent of the display, especially in the multicolored style suggesting a link to the gay pride movement, was unclear.

I wonder if you would cause hurt and offence on that campus if you were to show the “number” scene in the “M*A*S*H” episode “The General Flipped at Dawn” (Harry Morgan in his pre-Colonel Potter guest starring role)?

OK, so when did "Gay" become a race?

I’m certain they’ll find some LGBTQWIRSHMXZKOFG “activist” was behind this.

Here’s the clue: It takes an artist to make a rainbow colored anything. How many straight artists are there?

(I was visiting a married, straight client running an antique and art store in the renovated downtown artists section in St. Petersburg, Fl. A woman rolled up in her new BMW all stylishly attired. The man signaled his wife, who vanished into the back and he turned to serve her. He swished and flopped his wrists and sashayed around the store, selling her quite a few things. After she left he turned to me in disgust and said, “I’ve learned that they simply won’t buy art from straight men. The weirder I act the more I sell.”)

THANK YOU! for that link. I’ve been kicking myself for a while for not starting a list years ago. It seems like there is a case at least monthly these days. Very glad there’s a site keeping up with archiving them all.

The rainbow is a symbol hijacked by the Nazi-Sodomite left, anti-Christian bigots.

It was about a general who marched into the 4077th and then, among things, ordered that the hospital be moved closer to the front causing Hawkeye and Trapper to question his judgement on things. The main part of the episode focused on a chopper pilot (who was black) who was told by Hawkeye to refuse to obey a command by the general, as Hawkeye by this time knew that the general was basically off his rocker. Hawkeye is then brought up on charges of insubordination and at the start of the trial, the general absolves the chopper pilot of any wrongdoing, but asks him to “do a number, as it’s in your blood, son, isn’t it”. The general then starts into a minstrel song and dance and waltzes out of the trial, basically the whole thing ending then and there as everyone realizes that Hawkeye was correct in his assumptions about the general’s state of mind, so to speak.

“When did gay become a race?”

The same day non-sodomists became “bigots.”

We’ll probably find out this was done by some SJW activist as an art project to “raise awareness.”
