| I can see why some people would think it was, but in reality, everyone was hanged, not just blacks. I say go for it. |

Seems like ANYTHING offends black people these days. You could get a cotton bud and offend someone.
Aside from that, why the fuck do you want a symbol of vigilantism on you? What are you Batman? I don't really think a noose is wholly representative of vigilantes though. Even if you are being romantic I'd still assosciate that more with Highwaymen or Bushrangers (who were really just criminals) than vigilantes. If you want a true vigilante tat get a comic character. |

I heard an interesting statement yesterday. Someone said, "It is impossible to be too sensitive about race. People are exactly as sensitive as their personal experiences have made them; no one can be more or less sensitive than that." That made sense to me. |

Calm down, you're the one who asked for ideas. He's trying to help and you get all bitchy.

I like how I mention this:
And you think this:
But honestly I don't know. Same way I don't know why you'd ask a board of complete strangers about what image should YOU should permanently tattoo into YOUR skin. Why don't you ask the literally thousands of people who have tattoos of comic characters. There are a few on this website.
Or alternatively you could get your shitty noose tattoo and regret it in 6 months when you realise it's possibly the douchiest thing you've ever seen. |

Personally I hate you. And I really mean that. If you think lynching is justice, get the tatto, and enjoy the rape you deserve.

Wouldn't offend me, but then again, I don't really give a fuck what someone else puts on their skin...only what I put on mine.
They have to live with it, I don't. |

I disagree with this almost as strongly as I can disagree with any generalization. We live in an age today in which we are taught to seek out offense. While racism is not yet a thing of the past, it is less today than likely at any other time in Western history, yet people are more offended than ever before.
The people who used to get offended, upset, and outraged over any little "immoral" thing they saw in movies or TV are now the people who start letter-writing campaigns and boycotts over imaginary "racist" slights or insults.
It's the exact same phenomenon: the same sense of superiority gained from moral outrage! The people who used to march in the streets against demon liquor and women showing any leg at the beach now march in the streets over the outrage du jour. Some people will always insist that you just don't fucking feel guilty enough, so they will give you a list of things to feel bad about and then make you feel stupid for not realizing you should have been offended in the first place.
Just like those morons who protested the use of the word "niggardly" as being a racist term. |

That's the biggest load of psychobabble bullshit I've ever heard in my life. What is too sensitive? For starters, how about taking offense where none is meant? It's getting so you can't say anything without offending somebody. That's too sensitive. Get a goddamn grip. Get a fuckin' LIFE!
Where the fuck do blacks get off claiming a noose as a racist symbol? People of every race under the sun have been lynched and hanged. Blacks hardly have a exclusive an that.
I read a true story just the other day about a town simpleton (he was white) who raped and murdered a little ten year old girl in 1909. The cops had the guy in custody within a few hours, and a mob of local townspeople went down the jail, broke him out and hanged his ass that very afternoon. They didn't bullshit around back then. Look at all the money they saved on a trial, not to mention the message it sent that the public will not stand for that sort of behavior. If that kind of thing still went on today, there'd be a lot less crime in the world.

I agree man. The other day I saw a debate over the cervical vaccine ( I can't remember what it's called but basically it prevents cancer) and whether parents should get their children vaccinated.
They were worried it would give the wrong impression (as in the kids would think they couldn't get genital disease with the vaccine) and that it was too "adult" to give a small child. It was the most idiotic case of conservatism I'd ever seen.
The same show (Dr Phil) had a debate about sexual education in high school like a week later. What the fuck is wrong people? |
