Jena LA, Now New York, NY - Hangman's Noose Is Criminal and Racist Symbol

When is anyone going to realize that a hangman's noose is no joke. It's a criminal act implying someone's desire to murder someone else because they're different and historically because they're Black.

This was just done in New York at Columbia University , but totally unlike the town of Jena, LA and its terrible district attorney , the people at Columbia called a town hall meeting on the issue.

I hope they catch the person who did it and jail them for a good long time.

The main problem is we don't teach young people that this is wrong or that diversity is good and racism is bad. So with each passing generation, we're doomed to see the same mistakes we made in the past as a culture.

I hope I'm wrong on this.
