Read post 16.
It amazes me we have people here who don’t know history.
Homosexuals took over the rainbow and the word “gay”. Now the blacks have confiscated the noose. ;0)
Liberals have no sense of humor UNLESS it is directed to a CONSERVATIVE. When it is directed to a conservative, then it’s funny.
If a noose is a threat, then a gun must be mass murder.
They are the real victim here.
My frame of reference is the American West; so to me it has been puzzling to see how this is an insult. Unless one was being called a horse thief.
But I can see how it could have a different meaning for different people.
Up until the Civil Rights movement, black men accused of crimes (especially rape of white women) were frequently lynched by hanging.
The tone and content of your post are worthy of DU. That the subject of race should cause people to act this way even here on FR is testament to the power of leftist indoctrination.
“If you want to receive a whole lot of goodies, just get someone to hang a noose on campus. That will automatically make you eligible for millions in cash and prizes. “
That is what this is all about, along with the usual race-baiting. Roger Hedgecock read a long list of demands by the black student union over this...new buildings, ‘safe’ places for black students...the whole gamut.
And the Compton Cookout...Organized by a black man, who the media refuses to acknowledge.
The Compton Cookout...NOT what the Media reported!

[Snip] Roger Hedgecock for exposed the truth about who organized the ‘Compton Cookout’....A Black man, an entertainer named Jiggaboo Jones, who is just a bit tired of the race baiting by the media and Jesse Jackson types with headlines such as this, “Outrage over ‘Compton Cookout’ at UCSD”.
I’m fully aware of black lynchings. What is absurd is this idea that nooses have only been slipped around black necks throughout history, and that blacks now “own” the noose as a form of racial grievance. You shouldn’t play along with it, especially since these stupid “noose sightings” are so often found to be hoaxes.
There is a difference between knowing history and spouting off leftist cant.
Call the grammar police!
Interestingly enough, in California a majority of lynchings were of other races, not blacks.
Wow, a “green” noose: eco-friendly!!
All this outrage is manufactured to serve leftist purposes. The cameras roll as they trot out “devastated” minorities over rumors. If they weren’t there, how do they become traumatized? Somebody told them to be.
Seventy years or so is way too long for blacks to be playing the “victim” game. Grow up. The only ones enslaving them are the liberals and themselves.
I give you 2 to 1 odds it was a black that hung the noose.
More often than not it is.
A noose was a sign of frontier justice as well as being used on slaves. What made you jump to the conclusion that the noose was a threat against blacks? Why wasn't it a threat against car thieves (modern equal to horse thieves)?
Seems to me you have a bit of a race problem immediatly jumping to the wrong conclusions. Why is that?

How about a yellow star to a Jew? Is there no reason for them to react?
Your post is KOS-worthy because they don’t like facts that interfere with their narrow-minded worldview either.
The FACT is that a noose to a black person is a threat. It says “leave or we will kill you.” If you don’t like that or disagree with them having that reaction is irrelevant. That is the case and anyone who doesn’t know that is just so history-impaired that it is pointless having a discussion
