The Psychology Of The NOOSE!
There seem to be a spate of intimidation acts in New York State, and
other parts of the USA. Some of these intimidation acts are displayed
in the form of 'Noose Hangings' at different locations. In some
instances, indoors at Academic institutions, Police precincts, Navy
ships and other locations. The concern for this recent upsurge of
intimidation acts seem to bother the Black American communities.
Several public figures have voiced concern for these kinds of social,
cultural, and historic threats to a certain ethnic community, (the
Blacks), which reminds many of the co-called bygone days of LYNCHING
or threats to Blacks during the 'Jim Crow' and Slave era in this
country.
Keeping the concerns mentioned above in mind. Please allow me to give
my perspective of this phenomena, and it's proper perspective.
Personally, I have no quarrel with anyone who feels like hanging a
noose on his or her door, domain, premises, or street. With the
intention to intimidate or frighten me or my family, into feeling that
we or I should be frightened for our lives!
I also have no reason to fear any verbal aspersion or mention of any
noose for me, should I not BEHAVE myself, according to some expected
or prescribed manner either.
But I will give notice to anyone who intends to try such intimidation
acts like hanging a noose in my view, or on my home or premises to be
warned, that if or when such are directed to me or my family or home.
Then they had better watch out for me afterwards. Because that would
be to my interpretation, a willful act to do me or mine personal
injury or harm. And I am prepared to take whatever action/s necessary
to protect myself and those of my family or personal property.
Furthermore, no amount of 'noose hangings' or burning of crosses could
intimidate me whatsoever. Because I know that such actions are done by
those who believe that such acts will 'BUGG' Blacks into feeling
threatened. And by so doing, will give the perpetrator/s the feeling
of GLEE or Satisfaction for his/her acts of ignorance, intimidation,
or fear!
