"...long the symbol of slavery and oppression of black people"

Huh?!? [deeply puzzled] I'm 46 years old, and in my lifetime, the noose has been a symbol of: a)spaghetti westerns that my late father loved b)Halloween haunted houses Since when did the noose become 'the symbol of slavery and oppression of black people' all of a sudden?! I HATE reinvented history!!! >:-(
