One day after #BlackLivesMatter activists called attention to “nooses” found on the University of Delaware, the university informed students that they were actually just wire hangers for paper lanterns.

On Monday, there had been a #BlackLivesMatter protest against guest speaker and conservative activist Katie Pavlich. But on Tuesday, the “nooses” were found near the protest site, earning coverage from outlets like MSNBC and online activists like Shaun King.

At first the university was supportive, declaring the “nooses” a hate crime that they planned to investigate. But a day later, they announced that an investigation found that they were just paper lantern hangers left over from a previous event.

Activists refused to believe the revelation, telling Delaware’s News Journal that the investigation was “a cover-up.” One community organizer called the official story “just too inconsistent, I don’t believe that at all… C’mon, there’s never really been a lantern that big.”

Hey - how do you expect a group with an IQ of 85 to figure out the difference.

“Looking forward to seeing pics of alleged “noose” found at the scene!”

>>> Now that I’ve linked the photo, check out the “noose” itself. Appears to be made of something other than rope because not only do they fall in a somewhat rectangular shape....the one on the right appears to be “open” at the top. Not sure, but I doubt a rope could come unattached at the top and just hang in mid-air??

I’ll bet a dollar the “noose” is metal of some sort for the lanterns to hang on.

If someone’s gonna tie a noose, wouldn’t they try to make it look like a noose? These do not look like nooses at all. These guys would get uptight with silly string left over after a kids party.

The clip Kit discusses scripts from Bowfinger (1999) with Eddie Murphy, Claude Brooks

Damn it! I’m the biggest black action star in the world!
Where’s my “Hasta la vista, baby”?
What?
If Arnold Schwarnzen-cracker is gettin’ to say lines like that...
...then I deserve equally well-written shit.
The script has that moment.
When?
You say, “I enjoyed meeting you, Cliff. “ Then you push the guy right over the cliff.
But the audience has to know the guy’s name is Cliff, and he’s on a cliff.
It’s too cerebral. We’re trying to make a movie, not a film.
You’re supposed to be the agent!
You better find me a line like the time I told Tommy Lee Jones...
...”Fuck you,” and blew his brains out.
You know what’s happening?
Another example of the white man taking all the best catch phrases...
...and then giving them to Arnold or Stallone.
Exactly. And Jackie Chan and Van Damme.
They can’t even speak English good.
There’s covert stuff goin’ on. Some covert shit I just found out.
I’m glad you’re here. Come in here.
Right now, everybody. Come here.
What you talkin’ about?
Just for fun...
...I scanned the script to see how many times the letter “K” appears.
The letter “K” appears in this script 1,456 times.
That’s perfectly divisible by three.
So what’re you saying?
What am I sayin’?
“KKK” appears in this script 486 times.
The sickness is deep.
He’s playing you.
I’ve been played.
That’s really not the case here.
This is a great script. It’s not Shakespeare, but...
What’d you just say?
I said, “It’s not Shakespeare, but... “
It’s not... Did you hear what he’s doing?
He’s doing something. I just can’t put my finger on it.
What’s he doing?
Shakespeare, Freddy.
Shakespeare!
“Shake-a-spear. Spear-chucker. “
“Shake-a-spear!”
I’m a spear-chucker now.
Call me a spear-chucker.
It doesn’t mean that!
It’s my imagination?
There’s no computer chip in LaToya Jackson’s brain.
She just acts like that. Teddy Kennedy ain’t 1/16 black.
Teddy Kennedy?
He’s different to the other Kennedys.
I got some calls to make.
Go make some calls. Call Arnold and Sly!
And Van Damme and Jackie Chan. Tell ‘em the spear-chucker said hello!

"A noose once bit my sister."

It was probably looking for her cheese.

Good grief!
There are painters and other craftsmen using similar-looking hooks on their work ladders all across the country today.
They are undoubtedly racist people, too.

In my high school, the cords for the window blinds ALL ended in hangman’s nooses.

Each and every single one.
