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.

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.

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.

Homosexuals took over the rainbow and the word “gay”. Now the blacks have confiscated the noose. ;0)

About the same time Little Black Sambo which is a story about a little boy from India! got called racist. "Tar and feather" is another so-called racist term. It's claimed that blacks were the target but in fact it was about tax collectors in New England who were very much white.

There are a lot of ignorant people in this world who want to be victims and a lot of super sensitive folks who believe ridiculous claims.

Absolutely I wonder how many white horse thieves were hanged compared to how many blacks? I'll becha lots more whites than blacks.

When I was in about 3rd grade a boy learned how to tie a noose. He taught the other boys and every venetian blind cord in the whole school had a noose hanging from it. This was during the time of segregated schools and it had nothing to do with blacks.

Up until around 1900 lynching were, unfortunately, all too common, mostly in the South, but not unheard of in other areas. The overwhelming number of lynchings, about 70%, involved black defendants often accused of murder or rape against a white. I suppose in most cases the victim of the lynching was guilty, but the very prospect of lynching can be terrifying. In at least one case a white woman had been raped and identified her assailant as a black man. In retaliation a mob hanged several black men who had no plausible connection to the crime.

Still, it was a hundred years ago and in American popular culture the noose is more closely associated with the Old West than lynch mobs.
