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.

And the shoelace was still in its package.
Kids today should watch more old westerns. Then they would know what a proper noose looks like.
A shoelace did not cause racial uproar. Racial uproar was thriving without the shoelace. The shoelace gave someone a way to get attention. If the shoelace hadn’t been there, it could have been a banana peel, a plastic holder for cans, or pretty much ANYTHING else.
Wasn't that attributed to LBJ?
No noose is good noose................
ha ha ha...
Proof that snowflakes exist everywhere, even on FR.
I need to replace a broken noose on one of my shoes.
Sometimes a shoelace is just a shoelace.
.. It’s three things: first, a tight p***y; second, loose shoes; and third, a warm place to sh!t.
Dennis Miller, on his radio show a few elections back, said that if he was a business owner with employees, near election time, he’d be in the parking lot looking at the bumper stickers on the cars that drove in, taking names, and making it clear to the employees that the supporters of candidates wanting to do harm to the business will be the first to go if he’s forced to make cutbacks.
They freaked out over a shoelace? I don’t buy it, and I didn’t buy the banana peel in the tree as being a threat or racist. This has gone beyond ridiculous.
I seem to remember a drawing of a noosed, ready-to-be-hanged Nathan Hale from a grade school history book.
No noose is good noose.
That’s what we essentially do. Plus i worked for Dennis as an intern many years ago here in L.A. We still talk to this day. I also offered a questionnaire to FR to weed out potential libs from joining your company which has subtle questions, in case we get sued for discrimination ;)
Sounds like an un-PC version of a skit on Laugh-In
I’m currently watching the first season of Laugh-in on DVD. It’s amazing much of it is still funny fifty years later.
When it first came out in 1966, it would be the equivalent of watching comedy from 1916 and still cracking up.
... I guess he'd think it outright heroic for me to report the below as a "genocidal mass lynching:"
The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.”Proverbs 28:1
