How is this supposed to be funny?

Ok, I don't work in an office any longer. Not even sure if I miss the hustle and bustle. I can tell you if THIS happened to me at my place of work, oh, I would be HEATED!

It is the year 2008. Why is stuff like THIS still happening?

Here's the story:

Man allegedly showed noose to black co-worker
Frontier Airlines disciplines 2 employees, one of whom was cited by police

DENVER - Denver-based Frontier Airlines has disciplined two employees who allegedly made a noose and showed it to a black co-worker, the company said.

Denver police have cited one of the workers for an alleged “bias-motivated crime.”

A man allegedly showed the noose to the co-worker and asked “are you ready” in a break room at Denver International Airport on April 15, police said.

Frontier spokesman Steve Snyder said the man, who was ticketed by police, and another employee accused of making the noose have both been disciplined. Snyder did not specify what actions were taken.

The airline is stepping up diversity training for workers at the airport, Snyder said.


STEPPING UP DIVERSITY TRAINING????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Okay, let dude make one "I hate YT" or cracker joke, and that fool would've tried to own the airline.

I don't get it. The other day, I was listening to the Steve Harvey Show. He made an appearance somewhere on Friday (the same day of the Sean Bell "not guilty" verdict). A young lady walks up to him and said that although she enjoyed his show, he still has racial scars and he need to lose the bitterness and get over it (basically). He then asked the young lady about the Sean Bell case...*crickets*... People can't stand Jeremiah Wright because he's mainly talking about racial tension that still exists, yet everyone going for the character assasination on both him and Barack. We know it all too well... people who mess over you ALWAYS want YOU to forget.1

....yet that mess was suppose to be a joke.

Unfortunately, I am not shocked or suprised at.all.

They tell you to get over it and then remind you that you are black every single day but what they say and how they act towards you.
