Oklahoma drivers were stunned this weekend when they saw a group of nooses displayed along the side of a highway....

..."If you think of a noose in America, it doesn't represent anything but what used to happen to African Americans," Terrance Reed told the station. "He got the right to do what he wants to do, he’s got a right to feel what he wanna feel, but I got a right to be angry about it too, and I’m angry."

But when leftists hung Bush and Pslin in effigy it was okay, it was “art”, “free speech”

My elementary school had Venetian Blinds on the Windows, remember those? Almost ever blind cord had a noose tied at the end of it. I don’t remember any complaints. That is how I learned to tie a noose, it was a cowboy western movie thing to us, not a black thing.

When I think of a noose I think of hanging horse thieves and cattle rustlers... I’ve read one too many Louis L’Amour books and watched too many western movies over the years.

Noooooo.

To any one with any sort of reading of American history they will know that hangings were common in the US for a variety of reasons. The death penalty was frequent and hanging was the method of choice.

What is not funny is that where are these reporters when the BLM and the thugs are out there threatening to kill whitey and where are they when the gangs threatening to target white Police and Corrections Officers (Black August)?

That's because you were raised, like I was, outside of the race business. Most blacks today have been raised with the idea that years ago blacks were hung on every street corner just for fun.

This guy sounds like Obama whining - me, me, me...

Plenty of white guys have been hanged in our history.

And something patently offensive such as “Piss Christ” is ok because it’s “art”.

And the case of “Piss Christ” was especially frustrating, because that “artist” was subsidized by the National Endowment for the Arts. Our tax money helped pay for that “artistic creation”,

Same here. I have a few hundred L’amour books and listen to a lot of them from my smart phone while I sleep at night.

I’m finding my sensibilities about my country are changing because of it.

That’s only true if you see the world through the blinders of racism. When I think of a noose, I think of the old west.

If they admit it is to discourage thieves and still act like it’s about race then exactly who is saying what about the race of those potential thieves?

yikes..does this mope even know what discrimination means ? unless the mope is one of the thieves.

It bothers me. It's humiliating," driver Dennis Varner told KJRH. "It's discrimination, and America shouldn't put up with it."

feel what he wanna feel

Love it when a reporter quotes somebody in their "native" dialect. It adds color to the story.
