Two white employees of the Riverdale Park (Maryland) Department of Public Works suspended because they hung a noose in the workplace on December 7th. The man and woman involved in the incident claim it was a joke.
One former DPW employee says that racist attitudes and actions are common. In fact, this former employee would like to see the two jokers fired from the job and prosecuted for a hate crime. Click here to see videotaped report on this noose incident.
Villagers, I'm still at a loss how anyone in America can think that it is a joke to use hangman noose in conjunction with any African American? Do they not understand the history of the noose in our country?

They do not think it is a joke.
You remember the Usenet idiots that would curse you out and put a smiley on the end of each sentence. That's who these assholes are.

They don't think that it is a joke.
One of the things that allows me to operate very well in any group is the fact that in the workplace and professional settings, I let people know immediately that I don't joke, my sense of humor takes a nap from 9 to 5.
Very early on I learned that mean spirited and evil people use "oh, I was just joking" to cover their stupidity. This was no joke, and neither is any of the other foolishness that we've seen lately, I'm taking all of it very seriously.
They think they can get away with it because so many others seem to be getting off lightly. I say put them on the unemployment roles and see if they catch that kind of humor.
I'm going to church to pray for the noose nuts this morning.
Shelia - I think that your approach at work ('no jokes') is an excellent strategy for more of our peeps to pursue. I have two employees at my incubator ... and sometimes they get too familiar with our clients and engage in joking and good-natured humor ... however, I remind them that there is a line that we cannot afford to cross with paying clients. The same would apply with co-workers in Corporate America. There is a line ... and we can't blur it for ourselves or our white counterparts.
Martin - Pray for 'em. Your approach is always a good one!
Unfortunately, Villager, there are still people whose consciousness is still "unraised" and have no idea why anyone would appreciate the "joke." How awful!
Villager, that last comment is made by me "maryt/theteach" at Work of the Poet. Some thing crazy is going on with commenting...
After Jena and the numerous incidents that have followed, it is doubtful that anyone who puts up a noose thinks that it will be received as a joke. It isn't necessary to change the way we approach people at work, or make the environment less friendly because we fear offensive and clumsy attempts at humor. People who put up racist symbols should be treated as racist and fired and we shouldn't change our behavior to accommodated them.
The Teach & Homeland Colors - I look forward to seeing what the final outcome is for these two workers. I agree that they should be fired!
Always the race card. Shows bad judgement hanging the noose, but the fact is, as many whites were lynched in the US as blacks. Those blacks that were lynched, more often than not, deserved to be hung up high. They had committed crimes of rape and murder. Strange how the media and blacks make these lynchings seem to be on innocent men who did nothing to deserve their hanging. In those days whites knew how to make blacks keep their savagery in the black community and how to make white bad boyz behave!
Negros are always seeking something for which they can be offended. Whites are waking up. Do you Hybrids really want the worm to turn?? Whites would wipe the black population out. You are outnumbered and most whites are avid hunters that know how to shoot. Whites can hit what they shoot at. They get lots of target practice.
This is getting out of hand. Race war is certainly going to occur if the unrealistic, unceasing demands of blacks and black on white attacks continue.
Blacks need to recognize that, without the white man, they will revert back to roaming the forests like wild animals. Look at Zimbabwe for example. The whites were evicted or murdered and now blacks are starving to death. Blacks brought it on themselves.
Serves'em right. You can bet I don't see any money to feed the "Poor starving Africans". Everytime I see the commercial of the starving children with the flys crawing all over their emanciated bodies, I feel a pang of pity, but know in my heart that they are starving because of their parents stupidity and hatred of whites.
You don't like white people but you want the food whites furnished.
Now, you blacks in the US can continue to hate the white man, but, the fact is, everything of sofistication, that is modern, that is scientific-from your boom-box to the car you drive, came to you via the white man.
You blacks can lie to yourselves and claim the egyptians were black, that blacks invented everything and the white man stole it (Blacks lived like animals in Africa before the Jews discovered them there and made slaves of them. Many blacks in Africa still live like animals)but you Hybrid Apes need to understand where you really are on the totem pole of intelligence....at the bottom!
Without the white man, blacks will revert back to savage cavemen. Blacks have never managed a sucessful government and never will.
You are uncivilized Hybrid Ape, Devil's spawn black demons.
That is the way almost all other races view you blacks. Only you can change that perception. You can change that perception by changing your behavior.
The Hispanics abhor blacks.
Whites dislike blacks.
Asians view blacks as subhuman because of the way you behave and your criminality.
Blacks don't want to live around other blacks. See reasons above.
Truthful - You have a truly distorted view of both American and world history. However, I am glad that you feel free to spew your nonsense here in the village. Suffice to say that your negative view of people of African descent is not shared by most that you will see here.
Villager, I do dislike blacks. They are who and what they are by nature.
Blacks have been trained by the Jew owned media to hate whites. The media could remind blacks of how it was the white men that freed blacks from slavery, but no, the media likes to incite friction between the whites and blacks so as to create a race war. The media promotes events that incite black anger towards whites.
Our borders are open to contribute to this race war. Race war will be used to break up this nation into smaller, more manageable plantations.
America is a colony of Israel. US citizens are Israel's slaves.
How do you keep a slave happy? You give the slave a vote in a farce called an election where all the candidates are Jew puppets (the Jews finance these puppets who dance to the Jew bidding) and above all, don't tell the slaves that they are slaves.
Let them believe they are FREE!
These Jews must keep the blacks and whites at each others throats so that they will not notice the backstabbing going on in Washington by the Jews.
Ethnic diversity is another word for "Divide and Conquer". Our country has been conquered and is being divided up into small plantations.
Truthful - I respect your right to have your opinion. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.
