Construction at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago has been temporarily halted after a noose was discovered at the worksite Thursday morning.
Lakeside Alliance, the construction company building the $830 million center, said it immediately notified police after the noose was reported on the premises, located in Jackson Park.
The company told The Post in a statement that it suspended “all operations onsite” in order to provide its employees with an additional series of anti bias training, citing a “zero tolerance” policy “for any form of bias or hate on our worksite.”
The company additionally said it was offering a $100,000 reward to find the culprit.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker also condemned the act.
“Hate has no place in Illinois,” he said in a social media post. “The noose is more than a symbol of racism, it is a heart-stopping reminder of the violence and terror inflicted on Black Americans for centuries.”

Bubba Wallace approves of this message.
No noose is good news. Now this happens.
This will give hours of family fun to the talking heads along with what kinds of solutions and punishment for the systemically racist American populace are painful enough. Unless they find a person of color did it-—as nearly every racist incident for two years.
This means some people want Obama to resign as President. Oh, wait.
White majorities elected him to the office twice. So how racist were they? Not much.

“Hate has no place in Illinois.”
That’s funny right there!
Lay it out and show me.
Maybe someone was depressed with the economy the way it is but was stopped? Anything possible but the old fake hate crime is the most obvious.
Well, duh ... of course they did. It was a noose for crying out loud! A noose! Oh hold me, I'm going to swoon!
Heh-heh ... suspended.
Jussie, is that you?
CRIME SCENE, ROFL!
Obama looking for his Mojo.
Pillow biter wants 15 more minutes
Why do I suspect is was a rope pulley of some time to lift tools or materials up to an off-the-ground construction project?
When I was a boy scout everyone in the troop delighted in fashioning hangman’s nooses. Nobody got excited.
Was it a properly tied Hangman’s noose, or was it simply a
loop at the end of a rope, to make it easier to pull.
Tedious, these reports of Hangman’s knots.
“The company additionally said it was offering a $100,000 reward to find the culprit.”
Is tying all knots against the law, or just the noose?
And what if an artist fashions a noose for the purpose of opposing hate and bigotry - is that performance art against the law too?
Nooses are used in legal executions. And so are hypodermic needles.
Wow.. Over a knot in a rope?
The Grand Ave crew still active?

What a riot. They are treating it like it’s a poisonous snake.
