As a Joke Based on a Losing Super Bowl Bet

As a joke based on a losing Super Bowl bet, some employees at the New England Telephone Company hung a noose in the workplace. Upon seeing the noose, Herman Wilson, a black co-worker, promptly took it down and reported the incident to management. The perpetrators of the incident were reprimanded and warned that further incidents would result in more serious discipline. In addition, management sent a message to all employees explaining the history of the noose as a symbol of racial hatred. Nevertheless, Mr. Wilson filed a complaint of discrimination based on racial harassment.

A) Mr. Wilson will not be able to prove racial harassment because this incident was not racially motivated and management took immediate corrective action.
B) Mr. Wilson will be able to prove racial harassment because hanging a noose has the symbolic weight of the use of lynching to terrorize African-Americans, to chill exercise of their rights and is a death threat.
C) Mr. Wilson will not be able to prove racial harassment because he took down the noose immediately instead of letting it hang for a few days.
D) Mr. Wilson will be able to prove racial harassment because management did not fire the employees who hung the noose.
