No, hanging is still the most popular method of execution in the world (specifically India, Japan, Pakistan, and Iran). In fact the US performed a hanging as recently as 1996, and that was to a white male who requested it as his preferred execution method (Billy Bailey).

People hang themselves with nooses quite frequently. One person did it recently in park near me with the noose tied to a tree limb.

Personally, no.
Looking at how subjective the use of the term "racist" has become then depending on how much melanin the wolf person has compared to the headless person, using the bat to steal his pumpkin would either be looked at as white supremacy or reparations.

Kek. But yeah, it's goofy how the ignorati has tried to spin a death method possibly a thousand years old and used across the world as a symbol of racism.

It's a shame, too, because it's a fast, cool decoration for Halloween, etc. However, hanging it in your own yard can get you arrested in backwards, craphole states like CT and NY.

Nooses are actually pretty handy knots. I used them in loading up the u-haul truck for my move a couple months ago, where I couldn't reach in to tie a knot around the rail, so I threaded the rope through, tied a noose, then tightened it into place (did a bowline for the other end, which wasn't ideal for adding tension as I tied it, but did keep the loop from slipping). It worked pretty well.

As for whether or not that's racist, I wouldn't say so. That's a context where a noose is reasonably appropriate and doesn't immediately call lynchings to mind. In other contexts, nooses can be racist.

i feel like you would be pretty hard pressed to find anyone over 25 who had never heard of the headless horseman. they made a movie and everything. it had johnny depp, so people will know from that if nothing else.

Because apparently lynchings -- a mob "justice" practiced throughout the world for over a thousand years -- are inherently racist because... America and Canada?

The topic was about the noose, not the headless figure. If you'd been paying attention, you might have picked up on that.

And if you knew the story -- or any iteration thereof -- you'd know that it didn't involve a noose. The Hessian purportedly lost his head due to a cannonball (or, in the Johnny Depp movie, either a sword or axe -- I can't remember).

That and there was a show just a few years ago. Almost everybody in the topic certainly got the reference, although probably more for the pumpkin than anything else because other headless rider stories don't involve pumpkins.

Again, like the other posters says, I thought he lost his head by Guillotine or Cannonball Blast (I forgot, been a long time since I've read the story as a kid)...watched the Depp film as well...and Ray Park (Darth Maul) actually played the Headless Horseman.

And the Mobile Game is Royal Revolt...just had to sit on it awhile before if I decide to continue playing it or delete it from my iPad Mini

You should delete it since you think something is racist when it isn't.
