"Noose" discovered on Michigan State Campus

Oh wait nevermind it was just someones lost shoelace. Something must be done about these racist shoelaces. :D

Every time i think the snowflakes have hit peak insanity someone out there in 2017 is like "Hold my beer" This one might be even funnier than the clowns claiming Dr. Seuss books are racist.



The ‘Noose’ Discovered In A Michigan State Dormitory Was Someone’s Lost SHOELACE



Officials at Michigan State University investigated and released strongly worded statements earlier this week because a female student claimed to find a noose on the handle of a stairwell door in a residence hall.

Turns out, the alleged “noose” was just a stray shoelace.

The first report of the packaged leather shoelace someone decided was a noose occurred on Wednesday morning, reports the Lansing State Journal.

Police — and, of course, the office of institutional equity — investigated the shoelace after a female student reported it as a noose.

The president of Michigan State University, Lou Anna Simon, rapidly released a statement denouncing nooses and describing the shoelace hanging on a dorm door in Holden Hall as “a racial incident.”

“A student reported a noose was hung outside of her room,” Simon’s statement said. “I want to recognize the courage it took for the student to report this incident.”

“This type of behavior is not tolerated on our campus,” the taxpayer-funded school president also said. “No Spartan should ever feel targeted based on their race, or other ways in which they identify. A noose is a symbol of intimidation and threat that has a horrendous history in America.”

By Wednesday afternoon, campus police managed to locate a shoelace which matched the “noose.” The police found it outside the dormitory.

The campus cops even managed to track down the student who had lost the shoelaces.

A Michigan State spokesman, Jason Cody, then suggested that the shoelaces were somehow specially packaged to look like “a noose.”

“The matching packaged shoelace was found outside of the residence hall,” Cody said in an updated statement. “Officers located and spoke to the student who lost both of the shoelaces, which are packaged in a way that someone could perceive them to look similar to a noose.”

The student who lost the shoelaces lives on the same floor as the student who called in the noose threat.

“Also, the original shoelace found inside the residence hall was not directed at any individual,” Cody said reassuringly. “It originally was seen on hallway floor and later on a stairwell door handle, where officers believe someone put it after picking it up.”

The Michigan State fake noose kerfuffle is another in a very long line of allegations about nooses on college campuses which turned out to be hoaxes — or paper lantern remnants, or something besides nooses.

Michigan State is famous, of course, for blatantly discriminating against male students by maintaining a taxpayer-funded women’s study lounge in its main student union — in which male students could not trespass.

Officials at the taxpayer-funded school also outlawed whiteboards from doors in dorm buildings earlier this year because it’s possible that someone could scrawl some offensive message or image on them.

The insults that are occurring on campus today are unprecedented throughout human history.

Greek Life retreat cancelled after banana peel found in tree

A Greek Life retreat at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) was promptly cancelled this weekend after a banana peel was found hanging in a tree.

A student said he threw the peel because he could not find a garbage can, but the incident made some students uneasy, so the school “felt it was imperative to provide space immediately to students affected by this incident.”


A Greek Life retreat at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) was promptly cancelled this weekend after a banana peel was found hanging in a tree.

“To be clear, many members of our community were hurt, frightened, and upset by what occurred at IMPACT,” Interim Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Alexa Lee Arndt remarked in an email between Greek leaders, according to The Daily Mississippian. “Because of the underlying reality many students of color endure on a daily basis, the conversation manifested into a larger conversation about race relations today at the University of Mississippi.”

Apparently, student Ryan Swanson admitted to discarding the banana peel in a tree after he was unable to locate a garbage can, and it was later spotted by Alpha Kappa Alpha President Makala McNeil, who leads one of the campuses historically black sororities.

“The overall tone was heavy. I mean, we were talking about race in Mississippi and in the Greek community so there’s a lot involved,” McNeil recalled, later adding that she and her friend were “all just sort of paranoid for a second” after spotting the banana.

After word of the banana spread throughout the retreat, leaders decided to end the event early. Arndt explained that she “felt it was imperative to provide space immediately to students affected by this incident.”

According to The DM, some students left the retreat in tears, with McNeil noting that they “didn’t feel welcome” and “didn’t feel safe.”

Swanson apologized for the incident, writing in a statement that he wants to “sincerely apologize for the events that took place this past weekend.”

“Although unintentional, there is no excuse for the pain that was caused to members of our community,” he continued. “I have much to learn and look forward to doing such and encourage all members of our community to do the same.”
 
Racism is running rampant through the country. Proof is a shoestring and a randomly tossed banana peel. And we're supposed to take them seriously?
 
Read the daily Mississippian article. There's more to the story than what's presented in the right leaning articles cited.

It was reminiscent of an actual racist event at American university protesting a black who was elected to be the head of the Panhellenic council - so initial reactions are understandable.

Then the university did a really poor job of calming the situation down even after the guy admitted to doing it unintentionally. People got upset with the conversations that happened as the university was determining why the banana was there.

While, with some perspective the whole thing seems silly, I can understand how this spiraled out of control.

Guy throws a banana peel in a tree and the place goes into a frenzy as though it is a secret racist message from whitey or something.

Jesus H.

The gene pool is definitely weakening. The good thing about the current or post-60's generations is that there is a sensitivity and response to injustices and topics such as mental illness, abuse, sexual orientation etc which were taboo for centuries. However, the bad side of it is that the selfie generation is disabled and scarred for life by just about anything. To me that goddam banana peel thing is way over the edge. Toughen the fuck up. To be a complete disabled wuss about everything is disrectful to the hundreds of generations that came before and put up with a lot to at least bring us this far.

Quite a few people will disagree with this, and believe me, that is more than fine. I even hear this crap every day from selfie generation types in person and on the tv that this is the worst time in history and things have never been this bad. Just a totally, totally, totally stupid view that shows absolutely zero knowledge of history or what other humans have experienced and are experiencing.

With some perspective it's clearly all very silly.

But as I said before this accident looked like a copy cat of an actual racist incident at American University in May. From there the university didn't handle the flare ups of tempers properly.
 
Is this all satire, or these events actually happened?

Real. But there is a lot more to the story that what the alt-righters have presented here.

If you care, spend 5 min and read the original school newspaper article
