    Duke University Student Who Hung Noose 'No Longer On Campus'
    Apr 2, 2015, 4:35 PM ET
    By MEGHAN KENEALLY


    A student at Duke University has admitted to hanging a noose on a tree on campus that sparked protests throughout the week.

    The college announced that the individual has been identified as a result of its investigation but the person's name has not been released.

    What, if any, punishment the student will face remains unknown.

    "The student is no longer on campus," Duke spokesman Keith Lawrence said in a statement. "The student will be subject to Duke’s student conduct process."

    It exists but it's not as rampant as the media would like you to believe or as they'd like it to become.

    Mouse claims the noose is simply a Chemtrail.

    I'm not sure that we can blame the M$M for this, at least not to the degree that we can blame right-wing media....they have made it ok for people to post racists pictures of Obama, his wife Mic e, and their daughters...now I'm not saying that they openly support this type of behavior on social media, but they certainly don't do anything to disavow this type of racism when it helps their political ideology...

    that works both ways. there are just as many racist blacks.
    The media would have you believe that all white conservatives are racists. and all white cops. If a black kid was taught only by television, there's not doubt in my mind that he's gonna have a chip on his shoulder. Blacks and whites work together all over the country every day but that doesn't make good news.

    The difference being nobody supports black racists....while many non-blacks don't support racism there is still a big chunk of non-blacks who do..

    These are the racially charged e-mails that got 3 Ferguson police and court officials fired
    Source: Washington Post


    -snip-

    These e-mails were among the evidence presented by the Justice Department in a report released this year that concluded that racism pervaded the Ferguson Police Department. The report cited an analysis of those ticketed and arrested as well as anecdotal evidence about when and why Ferguson police officers use force on residents.

    The e-mails — all sent between 2008 and 2011 — are primarily e-mail forwards containing insensitive and offensive jokes. One of the e-mails, sent by Twitty to both men as well as a third recipient with the subject line “Insensitive One Liners,” included the lines: “There’s a new Muslim clothing shop that opened in our shopping center, but they threw me out after I asked if I could look at some of the bomber jackets.”

    -snip-

    In a message dated Tuesday, April 19, 2011, Twitty forwarded a message led “Very Rare Photo” that included an image of former president Ronald Reagan feeding a baby monkey. Beneath the photo is the caption: “Rare photo of Ronald Reagan babysitting Barack Obama in early 1962.”

    If there was racism, he wouldn't have be kicked out.

    what's a "big chunk"? I doubt it's big in terms of %. And just because black racists aren't photoshopping doesn't mean they aren't just as venomous. I'm sure if you could decipher their tweets, the content would bear me out.

    He could just be insensitive and have bad delivery of a joke. Overusing and redefining the term is just going to make it lose it's meaning, rather than allow the "open minded" self righteous to bully their views on people.
    But even if he is racist, that doesn't mean america is.
    which ever way, nobody looked at that and said "oh man i might get hung if I do something" or "the klan is around".

    Why is it that only white countries can be racist? Or are they just the only ones judged for their racism?

    "Outsiders change the society and within time the culture"

    The (north, south, central) American Indians would agree.
