“’This week, a racist and hateful symbol was discovered on our site. There is no place for hate or racism in our workplace,’ the Tennessee Builders Alliance, which is leading the construction, said in a statement. ‘We reported the incident to law enforcement, suspended work and launched an investigation.’”
Was Jussie Smollett available for comment? Who smelt it, dealt it. Look for the union label on this one.

Rope found at Kaiser facility in Gilroy was not noose, police say

GILROY, Calif. - Authorities investigating the discovery of a rope resembling a noose at a Kaiser facility in Gilroy said it was not intended to be a symbol of hate, but was climbing equipment, police said.
The rope was found on the morning of Feb. 27, hanging in a tree in the parking lot of the Kaiser Medical Offices on Arroyo Circle.
Kaiser Permanente originally called the rope a noose and said it was investigating the incident as a hate crime.
The Gilroy Police Department also initiated its own investigation, including the review of surveillance footage, and police determined there wasn’t any ill intent.
“Instead, surveillance video shows the rope was used by an individual to propel himself up the tree to cut down normally out-of-reach branches and leaves,” the police department said. “The rope was inadvertently left on the tree after being used as a climbing mechanism.”. . .

An Allentown City Hall employee was charged with planting a noose at their desk in January, according to police.
LaTarsha Brown is charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and false reports to law enforcement, Allentown Chief of Police Charles Roca said Monday.
“Today, we’re even more surprised to learn that it was likely fabricated by the employee herself,” Allentown Mayor Matt Tuerk, a Democrat, said.
The Allentown mayor believes the incident has helped bring the conversation over inclusion to the forefront at City Hall. . .
The new stadium is too tainted by this noose to go on. Better tear it down and go elsewhere.

Ohhh I’m black so these crackers pick on me and make fun of me.
I just found a noose in the laundry room that my wife wants me to paint today.
Oh, the same old noose, different day. 🤡
