Reality 2,710 Posted June 24, 2020 Yup, it doesn't matter what kind of knot it was, it's been there for a long time and is something that is used in garages. I wanted to give Bubba a pass but, It was epically stupid of him to double down on the nonsense last night on a talk show. That pushes normal people away, this wasn't what you (or your handler) thought it was, apologize and move on. Don't double down, terrible move. This automatically assuming everything is race related has to stop, normal people don't like being told they are racist at every turn. It's simply not true. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because then we’re probably dealing with a huge overreaction rather than an outright lie, which is different. Though you “win” either way so calm down. Plus, I’m not the one that brought it up. If it doesn’t matter whether it was a noose then why do some keep insisting it wasn’t—contrary to what the FBI said? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if it was just some big misunderstanding, the part that irks me is that when anyone even asked as much that it could be one, they are painted as a RACIST!!! Bubba himself said anyone questioning it was “simple minded”. That’s what people don’t like. It’s as if any thought beyond what the media spoon feeds us is met with angst, or you have been racist or something for thinking for yourself.

Bubba Wallace was a nobody before this, only really known to redneck NASCAR fans. He is using his own fake outrage to gain notoriety and up his brand. Just like Kaep, whose career was over, but used racism to keep it afloat. Anyone who believes anything that comes out of the mouths of these half-white, completely privileged, even by white standards, is deluding themselves. These guys need therapy more than anything else. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted June 24, 2020 What gets me is there are people defending Bubba. Saying “oh he hadn’t ever seen it. He’s just going by what he was told by NASCAR and his crew”. Yet he CLEARLY states he saw it and doubled down saying “it’s clearly a noose. If you don’t agree then you’re a simpleminded racist”. Yea he saw it, he doubled down on it being a noose, and dares anyone to say otherwise. Logic and common sense have gone out the window. The guy clearly ran with the lie and when he got caught in it he refuses to acknowledge it. Instead, opting to call people racist if they disagree. It won’t be long before people have had enough and start actually retaliating with violence. You can only call people racist and talk sh1t about them for so long before they snap. And a lot of people are getting to that point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
listen2me 23 1,544 Posted June 24, 2020 To me it didnt look like a noose. But Id like to see a closer picture. Bubba himself even said it wasnt a functioning noose but was in the shape of a noose Just amazing the stuff that is a big deal to the left. Go stop your thugs and hooligans from burning down the neighborhoods then you can get on your rope knot high horses. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuance is very important here whether is an actual slip knot or not. If its being called a noose simply because its shaped in a loop, thats so weak. Theres a wide variety of knots that make a fixed loop. If its truly a slip knot, which is highly unlikely, then I would agree we have a problem here. There would be no reason to tie a slip knot in a fixed piece of cordage designed to be pulled repeatedly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyinHeadlock 459 Posted June 24, 2020 Try pulling down a garage door with a real noose. Your hand will tighten up in it.

He's actually calling the FBI liars and NASCAR and saying the photos of it are altered. Really?

Fireballer 2,383 Posted June 24, 2020 Still silence from drivers on Twitter. Monday, it was an overload of #istandwithbubba. Not so much anymore. Even his BFF Ryan Blaney. But here he is.

Hardcore troubadour 12,656 Posted June 24, 2020 The big thing here was to bring attention to systematic racism. I sure hope after they are done with the police and NASCAR they get around to addressing the schools.

KSB2424 3,083 Posted June 24, 2020 Regarding the media and journalists. It took far right twitter outlets to do the obvious, “I wonder if other garages have noose looking ropes that are used for non nefarious reasons that could be mistaken in this highly volatile time?” And do some journalism due diligence to check. Isn’t that part of the media’s job? But they don’t do that, that story isn’t as polarizing nor fits their agendas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
