2 Football fans Dressed as Obama with Nooses around their Necks!!!

[En_Sabah_Nur 9,366]

"Two fans at Saturday night’s University of Wisconsin football game wore a costume featuring President Obama in a noose, with Donald Trump holding the rope.

One of the pair sported an Obama mask and had a noose around their neck. They also had a Hillary Clinton mask. The other person wore a Trump mask and held the noose to give the appearance Trump was hanging either Obama or Clinton.

University officials became aware of the costume and asked the pair to remove the offensive parts of it.

But the two weren’t kicked out of the game. As university officials repeatedly explained on Twitter, they were allowed to stay because officials viewed the costume as “free speech.”

The University of Wisconsin later released a statement denouncing the costume as “counter to the values of the University and athletic department,” but reiterating that it constituted “an exercise of the individual’s right to free speech.”

Is it racist only because Obama's black?

No I'm genuinely asking. Does this have to do with race?

So...now any act of hostility against a person of colour is deemed racism? Like I'm not trying to defend them, but I don't think that's the definition of the word.

I guess you're referring to me huh. If you were brave enough you should have called me out, unless you knew that I wasn't wrong at all.

“Lynchings were violent and public acts of torture that traumatized black people throughout the country and were largely tolerated by state and federal officials,” the report’s summary states. “These lynchings were terrorism.”

Brave enough lol, don't flatter yourself. 

I'm just tired of ignorance on this forum. You're unfortunately not the only one. Educate yourself on history of lynchings in America. If you still don't see this as racist, the problem is in you.
