I've lived in the south my entire life. I'm not joking when I say that I've never seen actual racism as it's portrayed. My parents didn't grow up in segregation because by the time they went to K-12, it was finished. 

 

I have heard people say racist shit in a joking way, but it was more pointed toward culture and not putting someone down for their race. I've been on doorknocking teams where the doorknocker was black in a place like Waynesboro or Cookeville TN and experienced it while knocking on someone's door -- but I didn't see it. 

 

I've never heard someone say "we can pay her less cause she's black or a woman" despite hiring or being involved in hiring 100s of people. I do think racism still exists in jury pools though. Black people 100% get worse sentences. You see the racism in comments sections about crimes "another thug" etc. Where a white kid might get the benefit of the doubt or a lighter sentence, the black kid is labelled as a lost cause. 

 

But yeah, honkeys ain't sneaking nooses into construction sites

God damn honkeys

I've lived in the south my whole life and seen burning crosses in the only black family in towns yard, a statue and flags entering nashville intended to intimidate black people, actual written sundown town warnings, dead ni@@** jokes, literal nooses at football/basketball games held up by the crowd of a white school pointed towards players of black schools...  among many other things. 

 

Does that prove the noose was 100% put up by white people trying to intimidate black plack people... no. 

 

Does that mean that it's clearly a joke because "no one was caught"?

No, because thats the dumbest logic that's ever been logic'd and is basically a white guilt way to reconcile. 

 

"Hey look at that dead black guy over there with swastikas and kkk carved on the body... def not racists crime though because we dont know who did it. 

 

stupid logic.

I respect your opinion but this my home town and I feel the need to defend it. That shit just doesn’t happen here. And now, unfortunately, we had national news outlets running this bull shit story making us look like a bunch of redneck assholes. If this was in any other city, I would refrain from commenting, but it’s not. To be fair I probably wouldn’t be on another cities message board, but you get the point. I definitely didn’t care enough to comment on the Jussie story at the time because I don’t give a damn about Chicago.

I appreciate that. I like to stick by a wait and see approach to these types of things, but I can appreciate how national headlines coming after the city makes people want to push back.

Jesus Christ, what the fuck are you talking about, retard? Your weird fantasy about a dead black guy with swastikas carved onto his body is creepy as hell, man. This fan fiction reads more like a fetish for you than anything else.  
 

Furthermore, I call bullshit on you seeing burning crosses in yards in nashville.  Same goes for your claim of nooses at football and basketball games. Surely there are news articles covering these egregious sights you've witnessed, yes? That shit just doesn't happen here, which was the whole discussion. I don't care about your podunk town of 200 people.  Yall probably do suck butt. We're talking about a stadium in Nashville so kindly fuck off with your potentially made-up anecdotes. 

 

As I mentioned before, racism exists, but it doesn't exist in the ways you think it does in Nashville in 2025.

You tried to blame a threatening noose on black people without any evidence one way or the other. Its obvious what your inner thoughts are. And your response?  Name calling, racist denial and logical fallacies that are lining up. 

 

All of my post happened in Robertson and Davidson countries in the 80s/90s up till today. The easiest one to verify is the giant racist statue with rebel flags when entering Nashville - yet you ignore that. But racism doesn't start/stop at county borders and for some reason you think all the construction workers were born in Nashville.

I never once, “blamed it on black people,” but you certainly were quick to blame it on white people. Sounds like you’re just projecting. I simply said it was a hoax, no mention of race.  There are certainly white individual’s who would love to perpetrate a hoax such as this. Could be somebody not too dissimilar from yourself, honestly.   Somebody who wants overt racism to exist so badly in modern days that they will invent cases out of necessity.  If it was so rampant LeBron James wouldn’t need to deface his own fence. You already know the motive.

 you can say it's a "racist" statue, but can't / won't say what it is, where it is or what makes it racist ?
if you are talking about what I think you are talking about, that was taken down years ago
don't be vague

if you know, why do I need to say it? Haha.

 

A racist statue publicly displayed on entry into town was taken down a couple years ago - that means no one is racist amy

ore? Great logic! 

should we talk about the swept under the rug racist history of your land? There's no more racism is strailia!

So your smoking gun of racism being alive and well in nashville was simply the existence of  a 25+ year old statue on private property? A stature that was promptly taken down upon the death of the private individual.  This was the only piece of evidence you actually sited, for the record. Hahaha. God damn you really are a retard. I shouldn’t be surprised since you grew up in Greenbrier. You probably did fuck with racists in Greenbrier, to be honest. Those

people don’t claim nashville and we don’t claim them.

Sounds like Nashville proper...

Hey there's a noose, that seems racist and threatening. 
 

"Why would black people do this? " 

 

That's... a srance to take.
