Associated with black people... and centuries of executions prior that had nothing to do with color.
A noose over a tree I could see being more racial - kkk killings etc - but hanging is more of a "common persons execution" historically
So then why is it in the picture? Wouldn't say this was a 'common person's death'. In fact, it's the opposite. To me the imagery doesn't match. And no matter how I agree with the larger sentiment, I'll never wear anything with a noose on it.
The shadow of the noose is cast by the rich asshole, not over him... makes sense to me
There were quite a few pro British folks who were hanged by revolutionaries, also scalped but lets ignore the Minutemen.
