Dang! The dumb racist bigot manager who had that hangman’s noose hanging in his office claims that he thought the hangman’s noose was a necktie. He says it was in a bunch of “neckties” he received as a gift. Does CPS Energy screen their employees before hiring?
Dr. Howard Anderson of the NAACP said, “One would have to have been born early this morning to not recognize that a hangman’s noose is racially offensive in America.”
What a coincidence that this “necktie” just happens to be a very special kind of necktie:
“The hangman’s noose has got 12 knots on it,” said union representative Ralph Merriweather. “12 knots by the Ku Klux Klan indicated it took 12 knots to hang a black man, to break his neck to kill him.”
I can’t believe this guy hasn’t been fired and neither can David Van Os.
“The manager who’s had that hangman’s noose in his office, should no longer be working for CPS Energy,” added lawyer David Van Os.”
The CPS Energy administrator said the first complaint about the noose came in last week. She added all managers are going through ethics and sensitivity training, including the man who displayed the noose.

Here is something that I found on the Web at a site called Vanguard News Network at the following link: http://www.vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=59057. It was writtent by a man named Stan Sikorski who is one sick “person” (if you want to call him that). Racism is alive and well and my fellow CPS employees were correct in bringing this to everyone’s attention. Of course not everyone sees this as a horrific symbol because they aren’t the ones who suffer from being denied a job, raise, promotion simply based on the color of their skin or their ancestry. My hope is that our children will one day be able to attain a livelihood free from prejudice and racism:
The Noose gains more power

We all should carry a small example of the noose. It seems to have a great power of speaking for our hatred of n****rs and all that dare to stand in our White way. I have one on my keychain that I fashioned out of heavy White bootlace. When not using them, my keys hang from a beltloop and the noose is visible for all to see. It should be our “calling card”…
How unbearably sad that there is still such hate driven by ignorance and fear!
I live in a horribly backward, racist county. Last week at a town hall meeting, St. Sen. Craig Estes said, “God bless the Minutemen.” *vomits. I shall be blogging that soon.
