Why do you think cotton balls would be racist?
lol
I think that is pretty funny actually, and I would think it was just as funny to dump loads of clover in front of the irish student association.
People need to get a grip.
I said it would be more racist, not that it would necessarily be racist. Cotton balls are clearly meant to remind black students that blacks used to be slaves, picking cotton. Unless you can think of some other meaning for cotton balls to be dropped there.
In contrast, the noose is not generally a symbol of “black lynching”, which in fact was a rare occurance. It has been used instead in horror movies to symbolize a death considered gruesome (even though it’s not if done right), and used as a symbol of frontier justice — and kids learn to tie nooses because it’s funny to hold a noose up, (in a perverse way) just as it’s funny to make a “cutting your throat” slash move with a finger.
Each Halloween, I have skeletons hanging by nooses. They aren’t racist.
I hope this explains why I think cotton balls are a more racist symbol than a noose.
