[QUOTE="Fighting4yourRights, post: 275533, member: 10388"] I'm not sure anyone on this forum has any idea what the knot looked like. I will tell you, however, that a noose is a very distinct knot. It is a symbol of terrorism used to intimidate and strike fear in its intended targets. A noose is a symbol of hatred used to lynch Blacks in the old south for many years. The noose is particularly disturbing in the sense that Whites would sometimes gather for a picnic and social hour which ended by the hanging of a Black person in the old south (there are several pictures taken of Whites gathered around a dead body). The noose now sends a message to a person, and then a group of persons, that they are not wanted. Reactions to a noose are typically fear for ones safety among other psychological and physical ailments. Finally, a noose is a particularly cowardly symbol in the sense that the creator of the noose wants to remain invisible and it appears the message comes from a group of people. As a result, the Black workers may fear all of the White workers. The use of nooses to intimidate minority workers is on the rise and the EEOC now has a special office that tracks the occurrence's of nooses. Georgia tops the list of noose findings.
