Constantine Under Investigation for Hanging the Noose… Herself!
Madonna Constantine is having a pretty bad semester. First someone hangs a noose on her doorknob, then she gets in trouble for plagiarism, then she suspects the whole thing is part of some university-wide institutionally racist conspiracy. And now a grand jury has authorized investigation into whether Constantine hung the noose herself or maybe with a li'l help from her friends. This is because symbolic nooses are basically Get-Out-of-Jail-Free cards, the "quack quack seat back" of intellectual crime. I'm surprised James Frey hasn't tried it, yet! The New York Post reports:
The revelation that Constantine had been under university review provides a possible motive for a sympathetic friend to consider placing a noose on her door - thinking it could whip up support for her, sources said.
"Sympathetic friend"? Hmm... does Anthony Kelley have an alibi?

So, how about a link to the NY Post article?

How predictable. I bet she’s an Obama and Cynthia McKinney supporter as well.

Both Obama and McKinney have a lot more integrity than Madonna Constantine. Elise’s response is incredibly shallow: just because one Black person tries to cover up her shortcomings by playing the race card doesn’t say a thing about Black people in general (and certainly doesn’t say a thing about specific other Black people). I mean, really, do Timothy McVeigh’s actions have anything to do with other White people’s actions? Try to get some nuance to your racist rantings.

“hasn’t tried it yet.” Commas are a privilege. Please don’t abuse them.

I said it before and I’ll say it again, she did it herself.

Hm, if integrity is practicing and preaching what you truly believe, then McKinney has integrity. Otherwise, she is just a nutjob. I think elise should have said McKinney and Jesse Jackson.
