White boss put noose on Black worker!!
This is sick!!!

COLUMBIA, South Carolina (AP) -- A black former hotel worker who claims his white supervisor put a noose around his neck at an event on one of the country's oldest plantations said he was fired when he complained about it.

John Green, 62, said he was scared and embarrassed by his boss's actions at the Charleston Place Hotel function at Boone Hall Plantation in October.

1. Ah, yes. Things have changed sooooooooo much in South Carolina.
I'm sure our nominee is going to sweep to victory there in November.
