“...from the nooses strung from a tree that helped provoke the fight to the vast difference in the severity of treatment given to white and black participants.”

That bit of information, plus the beating of one by six leads me to believe there are a few Neanderthals on both ends of the racial spectrum. No race has exclusivity on ignorance or virtue in this scenario.

This crap needs to stop and it should stop evenhandedly. No more nooses, no more gangs, no more tolerance for racism regardless of which side of the spectrum you represent. Stupidity is what we should be biased against.

No one has argued that the nooses weren’t a stupid racial threat, only that they have little or no connection with the beating.
