It was just not targeted at Bubba Wallace.
Cannot imagine why the Crew of BLM supporter in Alabama would see a Noose in his garage and not report it.....
I think the crux of this situation is how much did the rope actually look like a noose?Quote:

Then, it's a noose and they should have investigated...
If it was tied in any other way, then it's an overreaction.
I'm assuming that someone in Nascar or the FBI that say it was a noose, know what a hangman's knot looks like...
Agree. NASCAR says since it's still an open investigation they can't release photos.Quote:

As Leech can testify, you don't 17 around with nooses.Quote:

In this climate, we should be extra cautious about labeling things as racist for that very reason.
You're so mad that this was a hoax, as they all are. Dunk on you too, subversive commie.Quote:

Look here is my issue, which I believe it is an issue for most people on this board.
Rex is a great example of a person that has lost his way in his patriotic life. I am not sure what his goals are, but this post really serves zero purpose. It is one of those "gotcha moments" people today just love to promote. What does this post even prove? A story came out in a NASCAR pit area that a noose was found in the only black racers spot. The media reported the news, added commentary to clarify what was going on after the initial reporting, the FBI came in and did their job, and then the media reported that it was not a hate crime. If anything, the media did exactly what the media should do.
Now, Rex comes on here like someone owes him an apology. Like he has won something. Something we all need to acknowledge. Well you know what, buddy Rex? 17 that. We don't owe you an apology. We don't have to eat crow. We discuss things on message boards live, as we know the facts. You want to cry about the media, shit man. They are literally doing the same thing we do every single day. They discuss things as they know the facts.
Like I said, Rex is a great example of the toxic, juvenile, low brow type of voter we have in this country. They refuse to have empathy for anyone else. They blame the media, ANTIFA, etc for their small dicks. Guess what buddy, this country is never going back to the time you loved, the segregated 1950s. Your childhood is gone. People have seen or are starting to see the racism that encompasses every aspect of our lives, including this message board through posts like this one. And they are refusing to play along anymore. I personally will call out racism every time I see it.
I have one set of questions for Rex. Do you believe every citizen of the United States deserves equal protection under the law and equality across the board? Do you believe that our citizens have a responsibility to ensure equality for all people? Do you believe, somehow the white man has been attacked by the fight for equality of all citizens? I believe everyone deserves equality. I believe something like our flag shouldn't even be an issue, because we can all see it was a super racist power move in the 1800s to begin with, and we do not need that shit anymore. That is why I stand with kylin. That is why I was outraged that a noose found its way into Budda's pit area. That is also why I am glad that the Bubba Noose situation proved to be false. That means there is one less bigot in this world.
So please Rex, please keep posting your typical stuff. The only thing you can possibly post, that will shock anyone, is if one of your posts wasn't dripping with racist bullshit and displayed some higher understanding of societies issues with you NOT on the racist bullshit side of things. So either stop being part of the problem, or just stop posting. "Street lights are on" for your generation, buddy.
Some don't see racism, or at least connotations of racism, where they probably should. I think the flag is a perfect example of this.Quote:

Context matters.
First off, it wasn't a hoax. It was found not to be what was initially believed to be.Quote:

The media did not report the news. The media rarely does so.
The media makes money off of divisiveness and purposefully promotes it at the expense of fact based reporting. And that goes for liberal and conservative media. The media tries to rip us apart and we, as a society, let it play us like a fiddle.
There is no doubt about being able to see racism is damn near anything. There is also no doubt that there are tons of racist crap in our typical lives. So much so, that most people don't even know they are being racist. Pointing it out is an important first step to getting everyone to a higher level of society. Sorry, but I am not sure how else to do it. Some people have to be embarrassed.Quote:

It is my duty to fight back against this blood libel. Europeans are so incredibly anti-racist they've been brainwashed to give away their own nations, history, and culture. This has been done by the capitalists who want your identity not based on your ancestors, nation, and religion but in their products. Spiteful mutants like yourself, called "useful idiots" by the powers that be in the past, are just a pawn in the complete eradication of Western Civilization in favor of a global multicultural strip mall devoid of all that makes us human beings made in the image of God. They found that complete control was so much easier to implement under "liberal capital market Stalinism" rather than governmental control.Quote:

Part of the reason this took off as quickly as it did is because it played into the stereotypes people have of NASCAR, its fans, and the south in general. It was too easy for a whole lot of people to believe it happened; I would venture so far as to say that there are plenty of people who wanted it to be true so they could dogpile. That is a problem. I don't have an issue with what the media did until it was proven false. Now you have many continuing to say things like, 'It was a noose, and even if it wasn't directed at Bubba Wallace, it is a problem.' Based on what we now know, it really isn't a problem.
There is no doubt there are people on the other side who are just as bad or even worse, who either do have serious prejudice (we all have some level of prejudice) or at the very least want for people to go too far so they can point and laugh. They are too quick to dismiss any incident as being a hoax or inconsequential.
Both are bad, and both should be called out. If there had been a noose in Bubba Wallace's garage, it would be despicable and my guess is that at least 80% of people would be disgusted by it. The fact that I can't confidently say a higher % is a problem. But since there wasn't, everyone should agree that it was nothing and either apologize or at least move on. My guess is there are at most 80% of people willing to do that, and the fact that that number isn't higher is a problem.
It is a sad state of affairs when people are disappointed that something wasn't racist just because it now no longer fits the narrative. You would think this would be a positive thing that it wasn't a noose. The mental gymnastics that one has to do to still justify this as a racist noose is pretty impressive. Gold medal standard.Quote:

My view on the "narrative" is that it is a great thing that so many people reacted the way they did to this story. This type of action should be called out every single time. It is fantastic that this situation did not prove to be what many feared it was, but the fact remains that this sort of action happens in real life. I don't deal with it, but some do. The fact that they do, is total bullshit in modern life.
The discussion about the "narrative" is just a weak discussion in my opinion. The narrative is simple, Racism is done and it will be called out publicly ever single time.
If you don't like it, well better stand up and support those fighting for the end of racism. The faster we stop tolerating this type of action the sooner we can all just drop it.
You mean to tell me assumptions of ill-will and malice were made about a group, because of their ethnic and cultural background? Surely the ?it?s a noose? crowd wouldnt behave that way.Quote:

They didn't raise the alarm, NASCAR did. I really do not see who owes who an apology. Did the story hurt you as a white person? Did it offend you? I would say that more than 80% would be disgusted by it. More like 90%. And that is a good thing. The problem is, the other 10% have a serious issue, that at this point no one can address or correct. it is the way they were raised or personal ideology they personally prescribe to. Not unlike fundamentalist Muslims in that way. Ideologies are impossible to change. Also, those 10% pollute the issue in the public forums. 10% leads to a dumb ass discussions about defending something that is kin to the person that would hang a noose.Quote:

The awesome thing to me is that NASCAR handled this fantastically. They dropped the hammer and stated that anyone involved would be banned for life. The drivers stood with their fellow competitor in support. Old timers like Richard Petty showed his support, linking old ass bitches to this situation. Literally everything was handled perfectly. They even worked with the FBI to get an answer to the situation. Perfect.
So to Rex, you are vindicated. The entire media is out against your way of life.
You don't see an issue with immediately labeling an act or situation as racism before delving into the facts to determine if it actually was a result of racism? If nothing else, doing so "waters down" true racism. It's the like the boy who cried wolf; when there actually is a wolf, people may not believe you.Quote:

Sure, jumping to conclusions is a terrible thing. You do have to understand it wasn't one person that was concerned about this situation. It was literally 100s of people that were there in real time, with Bubba and his team. They thought it was questionable enough to bring it up. You have to trust their initial opinion. The second it gets out into the public, and I am not sure how it did, it is immediately discussed within the facts we know through what is happening in society. that is why it is great that it was clarified properly through actual people independent of the situation (FBI). Not everything is defcom 1, but I am glad that everyone involved handled this perfectly and it is awesome that it wasn't done as a direct attack against a driver.Quote:

So now those folks begin to blow off actual racism because they?ve been told they?re racist when they know they?re not. Basically crying wolf on racism.Quote:

I would say, these specifically were erected to subjugate black people. 4 years of CSA cannot be what defines our culture and heritage. We have actual good stuff in our history to hold up.
We all can say, as Mississippians we have evolved beyond the need of the CSA battle flag on our flag. Race relations in Mississippi is an odd thing. We deal with it daily here, unlike places like MN.
the unfortunate thing, we once again look to be dragging our collective feet on civil rights stuff. The governor should have demanded the state flag to be removed like 40 years ago.
i disagree. I have to remind people around me that their statements or outlook on something is at least borderline racist. It is usually people around 60-75 years old, but still. Sometimes those ideas need to be discussed out loud, because if not it is like condoning it. And I cannot for one do it, and I appreciate it when people call me out as well. helps prune the culture.Quote:
