""It's the embodiment of intimidation," senior Jaron Hinton said of the noose. "It should have gotten as much media coverage as the lacrosse incident." In a two-hour meeting organized by the campus branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, black students talked about their feelings of isolation at a largely white university and their fears that, if the incident is brushed off as a prank, more acts of hatred will occur on campus."

I feel like a lot of the time the "isolation" is self-imposed. At least that was my experience at State. And also, some toilet paper in a building should get as much coverage as a suspected gang rape case? Okay.

I've been out of the loop and just read about this

this all spurred from the jena six. i mean those kids beat the white kid within an inch of his life. his parents actually were very adament about that. i think the paper noose "movement" is more as a retalliation to the race inspired media from the jena six. alot of people believe that they were let off of attempted murder because of groups like the NAACP. im not advocating the rise of the jim crow south again but it should all be taken into perspective. i don't think anyone wants violence, i think the nooses are just expression

Ahh, yeah I vaguely remember hearing about that thing but don't know much about it. There wasn't a peep about it in the news out here.

^ Thank you. I think statements like that are why a lot of people just ignore the NAACP these days.
