A lost shoelace at Michigan State University caused a racial uproar Wednesday after someone mistook it for a noose.
MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon released a statement Wednesday morning saying she was distressed after finding out a student reported a noose was hung outside of her room. Simon commended the students courage for reporting the racial incident and put out a clear message.
This type of behavior is not tolerated on our campus, Simon said. No Spartan should ever feel targeted based on their race, or other ways in which they identify.
But by Wednesday afternoon, the investigation by MSU Police revealed there was no noose.

The fault here is clearly at the foot of the shoelace manufacturer. They aren’t sensitive in the packaging of their product, and minorities might be distressed by seeing that particular presentation. Clearly they need to change their ways.

And then there was the time a student reported a covered microscope in a lab for a kkk outfit.

Why would they know what a shoelace is? They've probably never wore shoes that had them, or they wear shoes that have them, but leave them untied, which means they never learned how to tie them. Had to be a white person though since it's white privilege to know how to tie shoe laces.

At least they didn’t find a bag of chitlins placed under a cardboard box with one side of it up with a stick and a string to pull out out. Just call it “bait” and the little snowflakes would go into meltdown when it was reported.

Yes. Very. In order to fire a lib, you have to hire one. keep them for 2 years then fire them at midterms. I even make vanity threads to report the deed. Of course, some Freepers have their panties in a twist by calling me a meanie..
