Employees find noose hanging at work (CNN)NEW YORK (CNN) — James Jackson, a 26-year-old black employee of 180 Connect, was preparing for another day of installing cable, telephone and Internet service to residential customers of Cablevision in Nassau County, New York on December 7.
When he walked to the fenced-off area to pick up equipment for the day’s jobs he looked up and was shocked to see a vicious, racist symbol in his workplace. A noose was hanging in the fenced-off equipment area, visible to the dozens of installers, the majority of whom are black, but accessible only to his boss and an equipment manager, both of whom are white.
Jackson, a former messenger who had worked at 180 Connect for a year and a half, immediately confronted the equipment manager, Dave Willie.

Here's the problem with the article you linked to:
This is how white people think: “I was married to a black woman; I couldn’t possibly be a racist.” Neither could the slavemaster - by that definition - who raped more black women than I’ve ever seen. If the white slavemaster, or a white man who happened to be fucking a black woman COULDN’T be racist; why would some white liberal who knows all the right things to say be painted with a racist brush?
So a white man married to a black woman is equated to a "slavemaster"? How about a black man fucking a black woman? Can he be a racist?
The rest of the argument is frankly incoherent.

Sarah, I suggest you re-read the post within the context of the entire historical and legal rammifications of instituitonal ethnic bigotry. To a person of colour, this post rings painfully clear.
