Nooses? Not on my watch, sonny


Grow up, you idiots.

Yep, the noose is back. Across the Southern U.S. these things have been cropping up too frequently, symbolic of the bigotry that's been simmering to the surface since last November's election. One incident that made national headlines came towards the end of June, when a white male coin maker carried a noose across the factory floor at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia to the workstation of a fellow African-American coworker.

The veneer of civilization is thin in the best of times; all it takes is a little stress to bring the Neanderthal roaring back. That's not acceptable.

No, actually, this is obscene. You're telling me in the 21st Century, white males feel privileged enough that this sort of intimidation is going to be allowed? How about NO. Fuck NO. Keep your nooses in the gutter with you, where they belong. This is not anything that I'll tolerate.
