rejected.content: Nooses are considered racist because they have historically been used as a form of torture and violence against African Americans and other communities of color. Nooses have long been symbols of racism and hate since they were used by members of the KKK and other white supremacist organizations as a way of terrorizing and intimidating African Americans. In the post Civil Rights era, when the use of nooses was more widespread, they often came to symbolize the violence inflicted upon Black Americans as well as a deep-seated hatred that continues to exist in our society.
