Nooses Everywhere

First it was the Jena 6 and their controversy that began after they basically sat under the "For Whites Only" tree during lunch, and the whites retaliated with hanging nooses from the tree. Now every freaking week there is a new noose incident. WTF!!

OK. So America is hoplessly racist. Is that the message of the nooses? I already knew that, but would prefer to go back to where they hide it and I pretend I don't know it exists. On the real, it's not like I obviously notice it on a day to day basis anyway. But sometimes (like now), I just can't avoid it or pretend it does not exist cause every week someone is a hanging noose somewhere.

I'm so done. Sick, but done. Get over it White America, we are not going anywhere and hanging nooses from every tree from Maine to Florida ain't gonna change that. Get a grip already. This is 2007. We live in your neighborhoods, shop at your stores, go to school with your children and if we want to sit under a tree or work in the police department or teach in a university or be the principal of a public school, you sending a noose or hanging a noose somewhere ain't gonna change that.

Again, for real, I'm done. Oh and I'm gonna skip the CNN special on the noose epidemic.
