Oakland police say they are investigating reports that a noose was found placed on a city Public Works truck used by African American employees, and the workers union says they have no doubt it the move was rooted in racism.

The noose was reported Tuesday after 5 p.m. at the City Corporation Yard on Edgewater Drive, according to police spokeswoman Johnna Watson....

“There’s been some issues going on there for quite some time now,” Service Employee Union worker Al Marshall said.

Asked if racial tension was one of the issues, Marshall answered “I can say yes.”

Gosh, I love the liberal, enlightened Bay Area.

2. But I wouldn't necessarily assume it's a bigot doing it.

I live in the Bay Area and I've seen some crazy shyte here. A neighbor kid took a sharpie and wrote all over my car, "white bitch" he was trying to blame the black kids in the neighborhood and it was him all along.
