It was not a “stupid mistake.” It was a “stupid thing done on purpose.”
A “mistake” connotes something done wrong, accidentally.
Do we know what kind of “minority”?
You beat me to the post!
But yeah, she nailed it. I think we all knew!
Here in St. Louis there was a big meeting and uproar on the UMSL campus because someone spread cotton balls around the front of the black student center.
COTTON BALLS!!!! For crying out loud!!!
It is SO easy to leave your noose hanging and forget to take it with you. I can SO relate. NOT.
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.
It's basically a protection racket. They cause a problem, then they swing on by and say, "That's a shame. You wouldn't want that to happen again, huh? Tell ya what -- why don't you set a commission to look at enrollment, and we'll keep an eye out and make sure nobody causes any more problems. Capiche?"
My daughter went there on a soccer scholarship and the majority of the student body are minorities.
If we had an accurate tally over the years, I’m confident it would show that most of these acts of intimidation supposedly directed at minorities were actually carried out by minorities trying to smear the majority with false guilt and to illicit undeserved sympathy for some minority.
There should be severe penalties for anyone engaging in this sort of deceit and false representations intended to smear others.
It’s the left who’s always obsessed with race. Every single time this sort of thing happens, they sharpen their pitchforks because the assume eeeeevil racist Republicans are behind it and EVERY time it turns out to be a liberal. Now, just you watch, it’ll die down quickly. If it had actually been a conservative who did this, the state would pass more hate crimes laws or they would build a “memorial” on the school grounds against “hate”. This is all BS.
As Ann Coulter has said- there is not an epidemic of racists acts- there is an epidemic of RACIST HOAXES by blacks themselves
This story is written like it was in a high school newspaper. It says she was anonymous, but also says she was suspended, although it doesn’t say whether she just SAID she was suspended, or that they confirmed she was suspended.
On the other hand, if she is anonymous, how could they possibly confirm that she was suspended? And if she was suspended, how could she be anonymous?
Does this school have a policy of publicly announcing that they suspended a student, but still respect the “privacy” of the student by not indentifying who was suspended?
Wouldn’t all her teachers notice that she wasn’t showing up? Wouldn’t they be told she was suspended, so they wouldn’t dock her for skipping class?
And on the other hand, if they already have her, and have suspended her, why does the article say the campus police are still investigating the incident? Do they think it was some sort of conspiracy?
Of course, I’d love to know what rule gets you suspended for leaving a piece of rope in the library.
Which gets us to the simple fact that a LOT more whites were hanged than blacks, and that nobody but blacks seem to think about blacks when they see a noose, the rest of us think of criminals. Does that make the blacks racist?
One of these days one of these hoaxes will trigger the “Uhuru” option on one of these campuses. All thruout the left there are little sadistic instigators for violence, who want one of their mindless minions to take the next step in “progressive” politics and eliminate the opposition. Yesterday on his blog Jim Kuntsler wrote a lurid fantasy of bashing in the heads of the GOP congressional and senate leadership at the health care confab.
I wonder if Al Sharpton was in-flight to San Diego in his private jet. Did he get the news?
This story came on the heels of the ‘Compton Campout’ story.
The Compton Cookout...NOT what the Media reported!

[snip]A Black man, an entertainer named Jiggaboo Jones, who is just a bit tired of the race baiting by the media and Jesse Jackson types with headlines such as this, “Outrage over ‘Compton Cookout’ at UCSD”. See Mr. Jones explanation of all this here.
Obviously nothing will happen to the student who placed the rope. This means that laws are applied selectively, according to the race of the accused.
I KNEW it!
Yes, and she linked this article on her website!
Thanks Ann for being Soooooo Right!
QUOTATIONS FROM CHAIRMAN ANN March 2, 2010, 2:39 PM LAT: Minority Student apologizes for noose in UC San Diego library - FREEREPUBLIC: Ann Coulter, Right Again
Heck, Ann Coulter’s right about 99% of the time, that other 1% being me the atheist in love with her, even if she is a Christian. I had pegged the noose as a plant, too, and while we saw a bunch of screamers on TV protesting that, I doubt like hell that the lamestream media will report that this was just another plant by a minority, hoping to stir up fear, angst, and hatred.

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.
