Z, > And by saying so, you totally underestimate the power of the gesture of hanging the noose.

You fight hate speech with free speech, not with violence.

Plus by bringing to national attention the whole noose thing, you've told the racists exactly how to offend. Kind of like, "OMG, this stinks! Here, smell it!" but with much worse implications.

I'll ask you the same question I've been asking Ted. If this were six white kids beating up a black kid for some racial act, what would you say?
