Local NAACP offended by steel cable loop holding an American flag on a construction crane.
A possible noose reported to Central Connecticut State University turned out to be a common sight across America: an American flag hanging from a construction crane.
That didn't stop the university or the local chapter of the NAACP from taking offense at the display, The College Fix reports.
“A construction crew working on campus hung an American flag from the crane’s cable to recognize Memorial Day,” President Zulma Toro wrote to the campus community. It was the second steel cable loop recently mistaken for a noose in the area.
“Quite frankly, I think it is reckless and tone deaf behavior,” Toro wrote. “We have been in contact with the construction company and demanded that the cable be lowered tonight. We have a team on site tonight monitoring the situation.”
John Tully, interim vice president for student affairs, told Fox 61 that the university spoke to some people "who certainly felt some pain" at seeing the "noose-like appearance," and "we feel that pain" as well."
Ronald Davis, president of the New Britain NAACP, told the station: "Regardless of what someone else says about that, what I see, as a black man? That’s a noose. Period. Take it down."
The thing hanging down is called a choker..It has a loop on each end....
If you want to lift a steel beam you find the center of the beam and slip the choker around the beam and hook the loop on the hook at the end of the cranes cable....
when one has been conditioned to see racism in practically everything, that is what one will find.
I don’t feel a damn thing. I didn’t feel a damn thing.
How the hell do they think they hook loads to the cable?
Rabid idiots!
These morons need to find out first hand how the Headache Ball got it’s name.
Speed the Day...
Thanks for the explanation. When I worked in NYC Midtown, I’d often see construction sites where that was going on. Some “poor victims” see racism in everything in this world, it seems. They’ll never amount to anything except oppressed victims.
Now every circle is considered a noose.
Panic over false report of noose sighting....
So running to their safe spaces they crushed and trampled each other, breaking bones and causing several ambulances to rush to their aid.
They even fought over the puppies sent in to calm them. “Fifi is mine! Hands off!” Not a pretty sight.
Yes.
And the symbol for infinity on a college class whiteboard will be mistaken for a double noose. It may clear the room.
Oh for cryin’ out freakin’ mentally impaired, indoctrinated, spineless snowflake LOUD...🤦🏻♀️
A loop is not a noose. Do these freaks trigger themselves every time they tie their shoes?
I hope Ronald Davis never looks closely at a package of fishhooks in a sporting goods store! He might have an aneurysm.
And here comes another class of worthless morons. 90% of them will never contribute anything of value to our culture.
Yet they are ok with their people walking around with their underwear and ass crack showing. Pathetic
It’s creepy to ‘hunger’ for victim-hood ... is that all they’ve got?
No doubt. I’m sad to say that given the current state of things, it is useful we can do this:

I just hope it doesn’t become necessary we do this:
🚁
