I'd say no, it wouldn't be the right or proper thing to do.

There's too much racial hatred on all sides to single out Blacks as the 'victim' of choice.

By wearing a noose it would give a de facto pass to all the Black and Hispanic racists in the US.

Besides in my experiences White people are much more open and embracing of other cultures than Black and Hispanics are anyway, and much less racist as well.

It's time we moved pass what we can do for the individual different races in the US and start doing what's best for the country itself.

If you don't mind, I would prefer that you explain it to me from your perspective. I find your posts informative and compelling. I'm interested in your point of view.

There is a strange irony in this statement. Or maybe "in my experiences" makes it not ironic.

But blacks have been "singled out" for intimidation by the noose symbol.

A "pass"? How so?

I agree. Participating in a symbolic protest and statement of solidarity by definition unfies us and accomplishes what is best for the country.

Everyone has different perspectives and experiences, ya know.

Try going to Miami and see if it's the "Anglos" who are xenophobic, treating you rudely, and denying you jobs.
