“What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love, and wisdom, and compassion toward one another; a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black.”

‘Nooses’ in Oakland park were exercise aids, man says


Mayor Libby Schaaf said Wedesday that a hate crime investigation was under way after a social media post identified a noose at the city’s popular Lake Merritt. Police said they searched the area on Tuesday and found five ropes attached to trees.

Victor Sengbe, who is black, told KGO-TV that the ropes were part of a rigging that he and his friends used as part of a larger swing system. He also shared video of the swing in use.

“Out of the dozen and hundreds and thousands of people that walked by, no one has thought that it looked anywhere close to a noose. Folks have used it for exercise. It was really a fun addition to the park that we tried to create,” Sengbe said.

“It’s unfortunate that a genuine gesture of just wanting to have a good time got misinterpreted into something so heinous,” he told the station.

“Intentions don’t matter when it comes to terrorizing the public,” Schaaf said. “It is incumbent on all of us to know the actual history of racial violence, of terrorism, that a noose represents and that we as a city must remove these terrorizing symbols from the public view.”

im in favor of messages like these. this is govt workers in dc painting black lives matter on the street all the way to k street. and actually the govt can pay people across the nation to do artwork promoting justice.

the alternative is nihilism.

So the white racist retaliators simply wear full face masks in order to remain unidentified. Stupid people make stupid laws.
That is a racist law, no doubt.

Racism is a subset of Bigotry and it is a basic human attribute that is shared by all humans.
We have as a responsibility, to recognize our bigotry and racism and change our way of thinking and behavior accordingly.
