Bubba Wallace wanted to make a statement, draw attention to himself and cash in on the BLM movement.
And he did.
Wallace claimed that a "noose" was found in his garage stall. Right from minute one, this had a funny smell to it. All that equipment, all that security and some ninja was able to gain entry to Wallace's stall and leave a noose.
Sure.
The FBI sent 15 agents to investigate this "crime." Fifteen.
They determined that this was, predictably, a hoax.
U.S. Attorney Jay Town and FBI Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp Jr. said its investigation determined ‘although the noose is now known to have been in garage number 4 in 2019, nobody could have known Mr. Wallace would be assigned to garage number 4 last week.’ A crew member for Richard Petty Motorsports discovered the noose Sunday at the Alabama race track. NASCAR was alerted and contacted the FBI, which sent 15 agents to the track to investigate. They determined no federal crime was committed.Wallace got more than his 15 minutes.The statement said the garage stall was assigned to Wallace last week in advance of the race scheduled for Sunday but held on Monday because of rain. Through video confirmed by NASCAR it was discovered the noose ‘was in that garage as early as October 2019.’ The agencies said the evidence did not support federal charges.
We rally around @BubbaWallace. Fellow drivers push his No. 43 car to the front in Talladega.#IStandWithBubba pic.twitter.com/n0YwN1qq5l

You knew that everyone's favorite race monger Jamele Hill was certainly going to have something to say
“For him what he has done and how he has been able to speak to some issues that frankly you never see discussed in NASCAR and for the blowback and the reminder, the painful reminder of just how much people are invested in remaining and maintaining racist institutions, for him to get that message, I think it’s just beyond unfortunate. It’s sad. But NASCAR they’ve had to deal with maybe not directly nooses in stalls, but the shadow of the Confederate flag being a symbol that you often saw at NASCAR races. These very overt reminders about who this sport is exactly for and who should be a fan of this sport. This is something they have been dealing with a long time and, unfortunately, in this way, these issues bubbled to the surface.”Yeah, well that noose had been there since 2019, just waiting for Wallace.
There was a crime committed, however. It was the media's complete lack of skepticism, of questioning, of, well, curiosity.
MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell stated matter-of-factly the “noose” was a “horrifying, racist incident.”It's Nicholas Sandmann all over again. Not one thought to the possibility of a different explanation. What there was was a willingness- a determination- to buy into the worst of people and score on the racism fad. It makes for better ratings.Former ESPN journalist Jemele Hill condemned the “noose” as a “disgusting reminder of who this sport is for.”
“You have a black driver, you have an opportunity here to open this sport up in a new way, and so for this reminder is very stunning, shocking, appalling, disgusting reminder of who, again, this sport is for,” Hill said. “I’m very curious as to see how NASCAR handles this because based off what everything I’ve read is that this had to be an inside job because this garage was only open to essential personnel, so somebody associated with NASCAR likely may have been the culprit, which what does that say for a sport that’s trying to create a more positive racial future.”
Across CNN, ABC, CBS, and MSNBC, the coverage was identical: Why wait for facts when the story already confirms our favored narratives?
On Tuesday the FBI confirmed what Americans who don’t work in the major media already suspected: This was no hate crime at all. In fact, the “noose” was merely an ordinary garage pull that had been in the same garage since last year. There was zero reason for this to be perceived as any kind of slight against the sport’s most prominent black driver.
So despite stepping on this same rake practically every month, the major media has once again humiliated, and it happened because they found their actual job of rigorously reporting the news less exciting than hyping hate hate crimes, whether real or imagined.

He’s proud of his use of a piece of rope tied to a garage door. He thinks he has helped to advance the discussion of racism.
He is a classic idiot. It’s why the media stand by him.
Maybe some drivers will call him out., I can think of a couple who probably are itching to do so.
*** All the riots, looting, burning done by Antifa domestic terrorists who obviously crossed state lines and the FBI has 15 agents sitting around waiting to investigate garage door pull ropes? ***
Wanna bet that it was 1 agent, his/her partner, and a 13 FBI and DoJ lawyers just panting to have a local press conference after the 2 agents completed their questioning?
I hope Nascar goes down in a flaming pileup that nobody watches.

My brother was telling me he was SO disgusted with what he saw pre-race (last weekend or the one before) that he turned the TV off, didn’t watch the race. No plans to watch any more, either. I was a decent NASCAR fan (watched a majority of races), but I will no longer watch NOOSECAR. They’ve thrown themselves into the same flaming dumpster fire as the NFL, IMO.
Black Lives Matter is about to find out that Green Dollars Matter even more.

The media is the mouthpiece of the democrat party. The media keeps the democrat voters up in arms so that they are angry and motivated to go to the polls. It mostly aimed at black voters but they also aim their message to the young indoctrinated students in high school and college.
I believe that the democrats were letting prisoners out of jail to have this roving band of thugs that would be useful to their ends.
Was he a lousy driver?
Trying to get notoriety and fame and pity.
Pathetic.

Bubba Wallace never saw it. One of his team members saw it, reported it and Nascar reps informed him. So at the very least there are some extremely dumb people who need to be fired and Wallace should apologize.
With all of the criticism that NASCAR has taken from the left over the years, this was a completely unnecessary self-inflicted wound that this organization will have a lot of trouble recovering from.
The smart thing to do would have been to have their investigation and wait, but as usual, another institution has jumped the shark in an effort to put leftist perceived image in front of intelligence.
I’m wondering if NASCAR will recover from this or go the way of the NFL...

It’s incumbent on the other NASCAR racers to prove that they are not racist by allowing Jussie Wallace to win all the races he takes part in. Heck, let him win the races he doesn’t participate in for that matter.
It reminds me of CMT
another commercial enterprise catering to whites that got taken over by white liberals who hated their market and ruined a once fine company
In the case of CMT it was a group of mostly urban New York City Jewish kids ....very competent professionals at managing media no question ...but who sneered at their audience and made fun of them in their format non stop and removed organic content for syndication crap...it was awful
I was at a restaurant on lower Broad...back early 2000s with my then rib...we both remarked how unsuited the long table next to us looked to be wearing all these CMT badges HQ being close by
I overheard them talking...this was after Viacom bought CMT and MTV and so on....and ruined both
I noticed Chet Flippo the Rolling Stone writer....who adored country music ...RIP Chet...I knew him in passing from my grocery near Belle Meade....Stevens back then...
As they were leaving ..I got up and said hi to Chet....he looked at me and whispered say bye to CMT and modern country as we knew it....he’s said those kids are MTV and VH1 veterans and rejects.....they looked more like Occupy Wall Street
Tell me Chet was wrong ...a poor match of talent overseeing talent
Chet worked for CMT for a while....after that I think...his wife died and he not long after...Rolling Stone did have some talent ...and he was one of them no question
Thank you for your post.
You can always tell an oppressed hoaxer because he or she doesn’t even know how to tie a noose.
