Noose: Americas worst nightmare

---

Anyone else watch this? anyone else wanna fly down south and lay a beatdown on that Hal Turner? god damn...racisim is so inffuriating...

I watched the first 15 minutes of it. I really wanted to watch it, but life and work got in the way. Damn job and friends....

*applauds.. i do my best to be in a bubble to.. unfortunately people try to pop them time to time..

A documentary CNN did about Racisim in america, and there was this guy on it who has is hown radio station, Hal turner, and he was such a racist scum bag i wanted to beat him the fuck up

I saw a little bit more (I apparently keep missing the whole damn documentary). He didn't even understand how the noose would be offensive to blacks.

Nope, never seen that before in my life. But I have seen that documentary. It's amazing how some people can be so idiotic. I understand sometimes it's a situational/environmental thing, but honestly, today it's really not a valid excuse.

I agree. Even halfway intelligent people know hanging nooses is offensive to blacksin thiscountry.

Just like people can choose to be gay, or not.

I agree with that. If someone were to call me a nigger (and it's happened), I just don't let it bother me. I know what the word connotes; it just proves to me how stupid they really are.

You make a good point, A.W. I always hear people say, "Well, it's a different pronunciation, so it's not as offensive." The pronunciation can change, but the true meaning behind the word never changes. You have these dumbass, white-washing hip-hop "artists" who make the same argument, but they fail to realize the social impact the word subconsciously has on black men in America. I wonder if there's been any study done on how the use of the word has on the black male spirit. I wonder if there's a correlation between the habitual use of the word and the amount of self worth and efficiacy (sic) poor black men and women have about themselves.

Anyway, back to lynching: here is a link that shows lynchings in states, from 1882 to 1968. Note the discreprency among blacks and whites, especially in the Dixie states.

That's perfectly reasonable to be offended by the "n" word. I won't disagree with your opinion. I'm just of the opinion that a word only has as much power as I give it. Whether or not it comes from my mouth or in this case, fingertips. There are tons of derogatory words out there, and I'm sure more are on the way. If we allow the other person to the satisfaction of offending us, then I believe we're at just as much fault in the altercation as the perpetrator. It's like Ol' Reliable used to say,  Originally Posted By: E. RooseveltNo one can make you feel inferior without your consent

I 100% agree with you.

Okay, I think I've had enough of the side lines here; there have been more Western Europeans hanged than any number of blacks...ever, even before people in Europe knew others came with different skin colours. Sorry, blacks were not the only oppressed group in the world (and not even in the USA...Mexicans, Chinese, and Natives, would you please stand up?); nor are they the only ones to have been killed by hanging (see first paragraph, I'll cite my source if I can find the book in my house). Furthermore, your statement between being 'offended' and being a homosexual is not only so far out of context; it's downright ignorant (Like comparing obese people to those with dissociative identity disorder) I'm really having a hard time explaining all the things that are wrong with what you said. I realize I'm going to get called/labeled a racist by the more ignorant people here...frankly; go sodomize yourselves with a live electrical wire. I've worked with and have seen good and bad people from all races and walks of life (gays, women, men, star-trek fans...everyone) I really don't care what race you are; get on with your life, don't fuck up mine; and we all go home happy at the end of the day.PS. Hal Turner really is a dick - that I totally agree on. Does he REALLY think that hanging a noose in front a black household, or having a burning cross on the lawn wouldn't offend people? Fuck no! But he is getting attention, he wants it; and you're giving it to him...and the more violent of a reaction he gets the better (since he is out to prove the intellectual and emotional inferiority of non-white races). He's the kind of guy who jerks off to seeing how many hits his name gets during a google search.

Please note the Jewish population got their 15 minutes of fame in the earlier part of my posting, lol.As far as in the USA, the Jewish people got about as much flak as Italians did in the same time period; they weren't nearly as oppressed as the other groups mentioned.

I wonder what a white person would do... choose not to be offended?? I think if I woke up to a noose hanging from my front porch or a cross burning in my yard I would be a little more than offended.

He answered his question with a Fuck no!......In other words, he thinks that Hal Turner KNOWS that stuff is offensive. It would be to anyone...

I guess I misunderstood? I can't think straight right now. Sorry Hawker.

Feh, it's okay, lol.But like I said; it's the attention that he wants; he wants a REAL NASTY reaction (hopefully race-related violent action [Think LA race riots] to prove to everyone that his theory that blacks are a bunch of monkey children that should be returned to cages like rabid dogs [from what I gathered from his 'reporting' and opinions])Hal Turner is one of those focal points for "Everything is wrong in this country". He embarrasses me as a male, a Caucasian, and a resident on the same continent with him.
