If garage door pulls and discarded parts of swing sets can be declared nooses so as to prop up the phony critical race theory narrative, why not a steel loop in a construction cable?

The College Fix reports:

A construction company building a parking structure at Central Connecticut State University had hoisted an American flag at the end of one of its steel cable loops to mark Memorial Day — but a complaint that the cable was a noose prompted campus officials to apologize and pledge to take down the cable as soon as possible.

The proximity to Old Glory — flag of a systemically racist nation — must have clued in social justice warriors that the loop in the cable was actually a noose. Nooses and things that vaguely resemble nooses can have but one purpose: to oppress blacks.

CCSU President Zulma Toro admitted that it was “not a noose but a standard steel cable loop hanging from a crane.” Being an educrat, she denounced it as racist anyway.

“Quite frankly, I think it is reckless and tone deaf behavior,” Toro [squawked] in her email to the campus. “We have been in contact with the construction company and demanded that the cable be lowered tonight. We have a team on site tonight monitoring the situation.”

Media attention quickly stoked the loop in the cable into a crisis. On Sunday morning, as the cable continued to traumatize sacred persons of oppressedness,

[A] beleaguered-looking campus administrator, interim Vice President for Student Affairs John Tully, explained to a local news television station that it was difficult to find someone who could safely operate the crane at such short notice on a holiday weekend to get the cable loop down.

They should have contacted Lloyd Austin. Given the politics and priorities of our moonbat Secretary of Defense, he would have called in an air strike.

Professional crybullies of color were quick to capitalize:

Ronald Davis, president of the New Britain NAACP, told FOX 61 that “Regardless of what someone else says about that, what I see, as a black man? That’s a noose. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Take it down.”

NAACP militants don’t worry about beclowning themselves. Not even their most moronic paranoid delusions could make them look half as ridiculous as the cringing white liberals who scurry to obey their commands.

There are actually several cables hanging from the crane that terminate in loops, but apparently only the cable with the American flag on it triggers snowflakes.

On a tip from Wiggins.
