In this week's installment of racist stuff that always seems to happen in Oklahoma, we present Merle from Mounds. Apparently old Merle was getting sick and tired of burglars stealing moonshine, rusty nails and old license plates from his barn, so he did what any naive small town Oklahoma racist would do – he hung three nooses from a tree next to the highway along with a sign that read "It's best not to be hanging around this area after dark."
Get it? Hanging around? That's funny because nooses are used to hang and kill people!!! Who cares that they also symbolize the lynchings of blacks throughout American history, there's nothing wrong with a good ole' pun. I'm sure the Elk City teacher who gave his black buddy a Klan robe and Confederate flag at an education conference can't stop laughing.
