I disagree with that assumption, but to each their own. I don't think they need to be up to date on anything to making a hanging gesture. If anything that further shows their immaturity. Maybe you are right though. Maybe they are just so racist they want to openly display it for the world to see.


That's not the way I'd frame my assumption - my assumption is that you're so tone deaf that you clearly do not care about the very obvious racial connotation, to the point where you I'm going to assume you're racist.

In other words, if you do something that the vast majority of people view through a racial lens, and you do it in a way that is public, your desire to get a rise out people trumps your decency in such a way that it's a safe assumption you have at least a marginal disdain for the offended group.

My own mother jokes about just hang her on the daily.. gestures and all.. Has nothing to do with anything racial. I could see teens doing the similar with any type of rope, but filming it is very stupid right now.


You can add context that proves my assumption incorrect, which is why it's an assumption. Your mom isn't trying to be edgy, so I'm not sure if it's even an apples to apples thing.

What's wrong with you people asking what's racist about it? The noose. It's the noose. Don't you know by now that a noose is considered racist? Where have you been? It will get you on facebook, it will get you fired. You may disagree, but if you don't want no shite, don't do it.



More black people were shot by black people last weekend in one city than black people that have been hung by a noose in 60 years

And how are we supposed to die from autoerotic asphyxiation? Kills like 800 people per year.

Thats the real noose crime here

Imagine filming yourself making a dough noose, putting it around your neck, and posting it to social media for public consumption in 2020 while simultaneously arguing you didn't mean it to be taken racially.

As a 42 year old? Can't see myself doing that.

As a teenager? Yeah, that's the dumb shite they do all the time.

I'm not arguing the lunacy of a stand alone noose being racist. Don't get me wrong, there are certainly settings where a noose may very well be used to be racist and to intimidate. And I agree the example in this thread does not appear to be that. However, if we have learned nothing in the last few months, it's that a whole shite ton of people consider the appearance of the confederate flag and a noose as racist. And these shite ton of people can and will get you fired. If you don't believe me, bring a noose to work tomorrow and just hang it on your door.

I'm sure that was their intention, just showing off their bread knot tying skills.

So after being driven down your only argument being “K,” care to edit your thread title as it’s completely wrong?


Jesus Christ dude, give it a rest. I was trying to be funny. Let me splain.

Drew Brees recently bent the knee like a pussy to SJWs

Drew Brees owns Jimmy Johns franchises.

I thought it would be funny to connect the two regardless of whether it would actually happen.

You apparently objected.

The wait 2 weeks response was also a joke. It's the stupid shite people say when waiting for spikes in Rona tests

I was not asserting any arguments to the court. I was just posting on a fricking message board.

So get the wad out of your fricking panties and go back in your hole.

K.

They are about to learn a valuable lesson - if you act stupid in public, be prepared to deal with the consequences.

I fully understand the joke and what you were getting at, just not sure why it’s such a problem for you to edit your factually incorrect thread. But you do you bro

And just between us two, your wait two weeks joke was weak at best. I hope you use this experience to become better at internet jokes because yours suck at the moment

I feel I've explained the rationale for why that assumption is the safest one.

I know I shouldn't be, but I'm genuinely surprised so many here seem to think it has no racial motivation.

Dear God isn't making them work at Jimmy John's worse than being fired from there?

It amazing how we just want to start hanging's here in America with slavery. I guess this is all just another part of erasing history.

It is stupid of them. Plenty of white people kill themsleves each year by hanging.

Honestly, I don't associate it at all with Slavery. I get that black people do and that has to currently be acknowledged.

I think more of the old west or old England.

Yes, if it takes you 5+ lines to explain a joke it probably isn’t hitting. Not sure why you are being so difficult about this, it’s not a big deal

I’m generally surprised people make everything about race.

Make a dough noose? You’re obviously a racist.

Ask a black woman if she’s staying at the hotel? Obviously racist.

Goes on and on, when in actuality, you and others like you insert race.

These aren't in the same stratosphere.

The world would be a better place if we all were capable of a little nuance. There is definitely some boy who cried wolf effect that is well deserved with all of the hoaxes and plainly ignorant racism claims, but a noose actually being used as a noose to incite the public in 2020 is not one of them...
