Fuck off with your bullshit false equivalence.

I get so tired of this kind of shit.

Except he is still a victim. No, not with the noose (alleged or otherwise) directly, but with the response. All this needed from anyone was “Oh, it’s not a hate crime. This is good news!”

Instead, a massive response was basically “HA SEE WE TOLD YOU IT WASN’T RACIST THAT BLACK DRIVER WAS LYING NOW TELL THAT BLACK…

Agreed. I don’t think Bubba, NASCAR, or the drivers acted inappropriately given what they knew at the time. It was understandable Bubba and his team would interpret this as a threat given recent events and the symbolism involved. NASCAR’s leadership was smart in acting quickly. The FBI’s findings ruled out Bubba being…

This was in the Deadspin article. The thickness above the loop is definitely noose like. And there is no benefit to putting a slip-knot onto a garage pull, it would actually be detrimental

If anyone starts comparing this to Jessie Smullet, get out. Now.

Occam might say that human stupidity and racism might be the simplest reason?

Also, if anyone is curious, spent 3 minutes and found a picture of the actual door pull; this was not a case where someone mistook another knot for a noose, it’s pretty clear that was exactly what someone tied it to look like. It had been there for almost a year at least with no one thinking it was a big deal.

The Washington Post puts it’s documented existence as since October, so it’s possible it was a Halloween decoration. It’s also possible that someone was engaging in dark humor regarding points standings or other results.

Uh....but it was totally cool that there was a noose in the door pull since at least last year?

FBI has found that hate crime had not been committed against Wallace because the noose had been hanging in the garage since at least last October.

Who the fuck has a noose just lying around?

As an American, I approve of this.

I have deep appreciation for you fighting the good fight

Hi Feelin! A few handy links, since I dug into the science for you:

What exactly do you think is not safe about wearing a mask?

You know that it is perfectly fine to breathe through a mask and it will help people not die.

The folks who wear their chin hats in close proximity to other people are my favorite. I get that when you’re truly alone or far, far away from others that lowering your mask for a bit of fresh air is minimal risk. But doing that in a crowd is like having sex with the condom over your balls. 

This is a moral issue. If you don’t wear the mask properly, you are killing people with your selfish apathy.

Wearing your mask under your nose is like wearing your underwear under your junk. Defeats the purpose.
