What is the deal with people thinking that a noose is not racist??

When I was in college in Boston there was an incident of a police officer leaving a noose over the parking space of another officer. I was shocked by how little press it got. Recently there was the Jena 6 incident. And as I troll the Internet, I’m seeing more and more incidents of people leaving nooses out, and then being shocked when it’s taken seriously.
Really, America? Do you not understand that gravity of that symbol? In a country that’s so sensitive around the images of terrorism, I find the lack of sympathy around what are symbols of a older terror tactic to be staggering.
