Reminds me of grade school when the teachers would say: "The Good Have to Suffer for the Bad."

The home improvement retailer has taken away spools of rope and is instead selling pre-cut rope in lengths that are most commonly sold, Home Depot spokesperson Margaret Smith told FOX Business.

"Unfortunately, we’ve had some instances where spooled rope was used to create hate symbols and we’re not going to tolerate it," Smith said in a statement. "Out of an abundance of caution, we temporarily removed spooled rope from our aisles."

NO ROPE FOR YOU!

Could be worse. I read that Lowe’s announced they were financing a radio station for black voices to give news and current events from the perspective of blacks only.

This is just lunacy. It was a way to kill people, and it was used on every color under the sun.

Home Depot is owned by a republican.

Lowes is owned by a hardcare liberal.

Home Depot around the corner no longer sells white paint. Says it is racist. Must be tinted to off white at a minimum.

For frick's sake.

Are they going to stop selling lumber? Someone could make a cross.

Are they going to stop selling hammers? People could pop someone in the head with one.

Are they going to stop selling freezers? You can store dead bodies.

They stopped giving you good customer service about 20 years ago, so they already got that one taken care of.
