    So, again, can anyone express a context where this isn't racist?
    just because you think its racist doesn't mean it is. you, me, everyone else, is inherently dumb. we are all ignorant fucks because we come up with conclusions based on very few facts. i get it, the modern black american is angry or some shit. i have my own opinions on that too, based on my own personal life experiences. you would probably call me racist, but i am not. but i will always call shit as it is. and in this instance concerning a noose and some white teachers, we don't know shit.

    what if the teachers were black? what if they even had one of the black teachers wearing the noose and all three were smiling? is that racist?

    what if this were some dorks role playing a medieval execution? would that be racist?

    The topic is about a method of execution. Just because people of one race it was done to, does not mean a person who is using it to express something bad, is a racist. So like I posted before, if this was racist by the teachers, then it would depend on what context it was done. Not by the simple use of a noose. And yes, you can use slavery as a metaphor for something, a lot of people do it all the time with comments like, " I am a slave to this product."

    Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I support the other side.

    "Just because we are in a country with an extensive history of lynchings tied directly to anti-black sentiment doesn't mean that when a noose appears it is always racist, you can't jump to that conclusions!"

    Is ia 100% always about race? No... is it most typically related to race.... yes.

    Then you admit this may not have been a racist thing? And no, it is not most typically related to race. It has been used a lot of times in no way meant to mean anything which is related to a certain race.

    I don't want to read the whole thread, did the teachers comment yet? Did we find out what the rope was for?

    Let me guess, Tierra is black? Because she seems to be quiet narrow minded... They still hang lot's of people with a noose, not just black americans, but gays in random other religious whackjob countries, or smugglers in other backwards countries or...

    Anyway, as there is no context, it might just be an innocent inside joke. Who. The. Fuck. Cares.
    Teachers dreaming of strangling their students, because you know they sometimes would love to do so. The fact they don't makes them great at the job

    That doesn't make sense and is still a stupid thing to do. What part of that is professional behavior?

    PS: We have had several news stories about nooses being found at workplaces with whites only signs being in the national news, maybe instead of posting with a noose at work these educators should take five seconds out of their day to think about how that is going to look to other people.

    Narrative of this thread, "I'm not someone who knows a person that lost their battle with suicide or a minority who has dealt racist vandalism so there's nothing wrong with the picture."

    Or narrative of yours,
    maybe you're just not glad to see closer\justice to a child murderer. (if the reason behind it is true)

    “If you see racism it actually means you’re racist!”

    Typically said literally by racist and people who just rather ignore it exist.
    Seeing racism and imagining it to gain something are two different things. You're typically in the latter group and know it. "If we keep it LOOKING as if black people are oppressed we'll get free handouts and get to act upset and shame people! It's a win win!"

    Only a minority that deals with racist vandalism matters? Gotta love the inherent racism there.

    When it's it a tree yes, personally most of the time I've seen people holding them it is because they are calling for some ones execution for a number of reasons an less about race (due to when they are holding it they want to be seen with it, but when they hang it in tree's it's more cowardly and not wanting the public notice of who did it.)

    No, every day in this forum is the pity party of minorities making up bullshit. I've endured more racial discrimination in my life than the average black american so that bullshit just needs to stop along with the "woe is me" bullshit.
