I would say: Sure! Do you want to be hung from the break room lights or the ones in your office?

The article leaves much to the imagination, but the bigger slap in the face (other than the noose itself) is the response on the part of Frontier. Stepping up your diversity training is just putting a cheap ass band-aid on the gaping wound of the whole situation.

White Co-Worker: “Are you ready?”
Me: “To run your racist ass to HR and my lawyer? You betcha!”
::gets lawyer on cellphone::

I suppose I would say, “Looks like somebody’s going to diversity training.”

I’ve no words left for the various noose incidents that keep popping up.

I can’t believe no one said, “I’d whoop their natural white ass!” Um because that’s my first reaction…

this question blows.

Oh Maria, does it blow because it makes you uncomfortable, or does it blow because you are not creative enough?

I’d say “quit bogarting that shit!”; I’d take the noose and hang myself.

probably say ‘dude, are you serious? or are you trying to execute some semi-ironic (in the post modern sense) second-level humor (a risky feat): making fun of those most reprehensible members of society through the exact words and actions we would attribute to said people?’ and the based on dude’s reaction, sorta play it by ear.

I’d yell out..Hey! what’s AL Sharpton’s number?????

white co-worker: Are you ready?

Me: Are YOU ready?

Does this question apply to non-white, non-black, “ethnic” minority folks?

Because, uhhh, I’d kick their ass either way.

i hope that person would be ready to be sounding kicked in the balls hard. there’s no way i’d just walk away…

Aya,
Girl, I’m with you on that

beat somebody up.

white co-worker: Are you ready?

Me: Hold on one quick minute, Let me go get them sistas from customer service and the fellas in the mail room. I want you to show them this game you are playing, they might want to play too.

I wouldn’t say anything. I’d take the noose and shove it down their fucking throat, find the coffee pot and pour scalding hot coffee on them and top it off with a plastic spork to the eye.

I wouldn’t mess with BMD! The plastic fork comment was funny although I’m wodering if it is solid enough!

I wouldn’t say anything.

I would just grab their neck (while still seated, mind you), smash their head into the break room table until they lost consciousness, undo the noose, bind their arms and legs, and quietly stuff them under the table. Then I’d finish my lunch (after washing my hands, of course).

Then I would take a permanent marker and write “Apparently you WEREN’T ready” on their face, and calmly go back to work.

@slick selebrity- I love your answer and I would do the same thing.

I like Morpho’s answer.
