You wot m8, we've been hanging people for millennia
In the US specifically, there is an association with lynching. Lynching was the preferred method of white towns for dealing with any black person they felt stepped out of line or committed a crime from about 1865-1965. This article provides a good run down.
Yeah, pirates come to mind when I think about the noose.
I kinda feel like what they're going for is a "shoot the rope" thing with that shadow.
Agreed. It reads as the "shooter" killing a mass murderer whose noose/shadow kills all those it touches.
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
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.
It is a normal shadow for this scene. The light source is a street light directly above the shooter.
Didn’t know Saddam was black
He’s normally a type of reddish/orange when I see him lying down in all those memes.
Yeah, it's not associated with black people outside the US. It's how serfs or common criminals are dealt with historically.
Class warfare is worldwide
The grip of oppression is tight as a noose, but when they kick out the chair, heads will hang.
I just figured it was a reference to the CEO being a murderer.
Either that, or the knot are his massive balls
I think it's meant to be a top-down shadow of his arms + gun, but just ends up looking like a noose
probably
