From Wikipedia– Lynching in the United States– Lynchings in the United States first became common in the Southern United States in the 1830s, 1840s, and 1850s, at which time most of the victims were white men.

@been woke
Maybe you know more than the people at IP know, because they haven’t reported another rope. I am sure you and hate filled people would love nothing more than to find a rope somewhere which is why many of these so called racist acts have been staged to look like something they are not. The people I know at IP are good people and to try and shine a light of racism, and hate on the people who work there is wrong.
It was not a noose so please just let it go.

@Been Woke—No mention anywhere of another rope or in your words “like a” noose being found at the paper mill. If you are talking about the NASCAR incident, that was decided as a door pull grab rope to pull the door down, even if someone fashioned it as a noose for whatever reason, & it was determined to be there since sometime last year, & was there only when previous “White” drivers had used that garage. Don’t try to make something racist that doesn’t exist. Just because nearly everyone has seen photos of what a real noose looks like, doesn’t mean we would know how to be able to make one. I don’t. Those who do know about ropes & knots, have already explained in detail, what it actually was, & its purpose, & it was NOT a noose.

Another rope was found. Which was like a NOOSE. So all these people questioning the motives know what’s really going on. And the crazy part about this is all those who says it’s not a noose, actually know how to make a noose. Which further explain the hate.. Hate from a far because this not like back in the day…

Definitely not a “hanging” noose. No open loop on the end for putting around a neck! People going crazy trying to make everything racist. Nothing even close to racist here. As several have explained, it serves as a weighted end that serves the same purpose as a “monkey fist” knot. Monkey fist knot is not a racist term either. Both types of knots serve as a weight for throwing a rope over a branch, beam, or whatever, so it will fall more easily to be grabbed. Get a life people!

Horse thieves, cowboys and etc were hung with a noose back in the days of the Wild West as well….

We can’t even tie our shoe laces, hair ties or fishing knots anymore without thinking we may launch an investigation, be accused of racism and lose our jobs. Y Have mercy on the poor soul who may have innocently tied that knot for a legitimately useful purpose at work.

42 years ago at the age of 18… I went off shore out of La. I learned real quick how to grow thick skin. As an apprentice I was called everything in the book. You couldn’t show weakness or better yet let the others know a weakness you had. It was a time when men were men and they didn’t whine about nothing. It’s a noose for God’s sakes. So what ! Nobody’s hurt …oh that’s right somebody’s feelings got hurt. I don’t know what is being raised out there but whatever it is, it ain’t men.

Jim Stanton, I think your post makes the most sense. I am a believer.
