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.
Yeah I got the impression that there was something being hidden in this story as well.
This business was set in motion by a fraternity hosting a “racist” black party, serving watermelon an so forth. Several days ago it came out the party was sponsored by a black rapper Jigaboo Jones as a publicity stunt for his new dvd.

Give me a break. It was a prank!
Leave it to the "official black community" to get as much mileage out of this crap as possible.
Why do blacks feel like they “own” nooses?
Horse theives are outraged.
What claptrap.
So when did a noose become the sign of hatred toward blacks???
Strange.
Nooses were a sign of frontier justice the old west; hanging of horse thieves and such.
Doesn’t matter, they got what they wanted...
Nooses have been planted by blacks in recent years, to claim that there is racist hatred. It’s supposed to evoke sympathy for the days of lynchings. Thank God the days of lynchings are gone. Many of these noose cases were discovered to have been hoaxes, with blacks planting them to show an allegedly hostile environment exists.
Correct.
The article would have identified the student as “White Student. . . “ if he was White, but no mention of race is VERY telling.

For once I am with the blacks on this one. The party is one thing — I think an in your face event against Political Correctness is great.
A noose is a threat — in some ways worse than burning crosses.
Something like half of noose plantings, racist remarks on walls, etc. are done by minorities seeking attention or trying to create a situation to capitalize on.
I think this noose was planted for the same reason- my $$ says this young lady is black.
>>So when did a noose become the sign of hatred toward blacks???<<
Blacks were strung up all the time during slavery days. It was frequently used to punish runway slaves as a warning to the others.
Up until the Civil Rights movement, black men accused of crimes (especially rape of white women) were frequently lynched by hanging.
Nonsense. Who did the noose threaten? The library books?
>>I think this noose was planted for the same reason- my $$ says this young lady is black.<<
If so, expect LAX all over again.
Need new glasses. Thought title said ‘moose’.
