As kid if I had any “association” with a noose it would have been suicide if anything. Nobody ever thought it was racist. If you were upset and messing around you would do the fake hang yourself thing with your hands

Why is a noose by itself racist?

Far, far more white people and other ethnicities died by hanging than black people throughout history

How in the world did these people, in California of all states, think that emailing this and putting it on Instagram would be a good idea in today's climate?

Until I was 13, I lived in an all white area. Not all white, like rich, but all white like hillbilly country folks. But my momma taught me that all people are equal, and I should treat them so. I never thought much about racism because, like I said, everyone around me was white and it just wasn't something I saw much.

Also, I loved westerns.

We later moved. I went to a school with black and white folks. No big deal. But, because of my ignorance on the subject, and my love of Clint Eastwood movies, I fashioned a little noose to hang on the rear view mirror of my first vehicle. Lynching black folks never crossed my mind. Luckily, a white classmate mentioned it to me before I was lynched myself. I still think back and cringe at how people probably thought I was a racist piece of shite.

Four educators who smiled for a photo with a noose are all suspended, along with their principal, who reportedly shared it in a mass email. Linda Brandt, the principal of Summerwind Elementary School in Palmdale, California, allegedly emailed the photo to her staff, attaching a second image of the noose hanging in an office, according to Los Angeles television station Fox 11. Other parents found the photo on Instagram.


I'd start here.

Everything about this is dumb. And imagine that it involves women.

Breyon Clemmons told Fox 11, “I’ve requested that my kid be taken out of one classroom because that teacher, in particular, has shown prejudice discrimination against my kid and when I requested the black teacher I got grief for that,” she said.


OK so the truth is peeking it's head out now. This racist mother is pissed because she didn't get her way. I see.

Which is why using the possession of inanimate objects to decide if someone is racist is fricking stupid.

Context matters.
