Given that the student wasn't identified, what's the tradesports line that she was black? It has the odor of a hoax.

On Friday, the school announced several measures it was taking in response to recommendations from its Black Student Union. They include the establishment of a task force on minority faculty recruitment, a new commission to addressing declining African-American enrollment and finding space for an African-American resource center.

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.

"The safety of our students, faculty, and staff is my primary concern."

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?

[Free State Four]

"We are feeling real pain,

What claptrap.

[HereInTheHeartland]

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.

[Freddd]

Doesn’t matter, they got what they wanted...

[Hulka]

Correct.

The article would have identified the student as “White Student. . . “ if he was White, but no mention of race is VERY telling.

[Gene Eric]

Need new glasses. Thought title said ‘moose’.

[nmh]

Looks like even BLACKS are ridiculing the monopoly of the noose ONLY applying to blacks and ONLY symbolic to them. This is how ridiculous things have become.

From the article: "It's unclear how long the student is suspended for."

Call the grammar police!

[BlueLancer]

"The University of California San Diego has suspended a student ..."

By the same forementioned noose?

[Fido969]

How come the orientals and eastern Indians never rise up in outrage and protest?

“We are feeling real pain, and we will take real action,” said UCSD chancellor Marye Anne Fox”

Why?

Hate Crime Hoaxes

Claremont Hate Crime Called Hoax
LA Times (FR thread) | March 17. 2004 | Joy Buchanan, Kristina Sauerwein and Stuart Silverstein

A week after a reported campus hate crime drew national attention, sparked protests and shut down the prestigious Claremont Colleges, police on Wednesday called the incident a hoax staged by a professor who slashed tires, shattered windows and spray-painted racist graffiti on her own car.

Claremont McKenna College psychology professor Kerri Dunn, who had told police that her car was vandalized as she spoke at a March 9 forum on racism, was identified by two eyewitnesses as the person who damaged the auto, authorities said Wednesday.

Professor Kerri Dunn vandalized her own car and then led "Stop The Hate" rallies on campus.
