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 its just beyond unfortunate. Its sad. But NASCAR theyve 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.
MSNBCs 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. Im very curious as to see how NASCAR handles this because based off what everything Ive 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 thats 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 dont 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 sports 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.

Jussie Wallace:
I don't see a major difference between what the two did. It's two sides of the same coin. Both used a racist stereo type to frame somebody (or an entire race).
Yet, the white lady was fired, while I bet Wallace races on.
Race on!
I agree with your point, but at least the FBI did debunk the hoax.
Attention whore alert! Attention whore alert!
ROFL!!!! Yes :)
Liberals ruin everything they touch. The Girl Scouts, the Boy Scouts, professional ball, movies, TV, everything.
It seems to me that they only crimes that the FBI investigates and/or makes an arrest on, are the ones that they are in on if not created themselves.
Black Lives Matter is about to find out that Green Dollars Matter even more.

Progressive Justice: Retail Stores Sue to Escape from New York City [Video at link}
https://billwhittle.com/progressive-justice-retail-stores-sue-to-escape-from-new-york-city/
Famous retailers sue landlords to break their leases and escape from New York City as rioting makes business unprofitable. Is this the Progressive justice protestors demand? With Jay-Z among the business people longing to flee, will Mayor Bill de Blasio still continue his slacker approach to law enforcement? Will New Yorkers call up former Mayor Rudy Giuliani to restore order and prosperity to their beleaguered city?
just thought of something today- wouldn’t surprise me if NASCAR ‘fudged the rules a bit’ on the sly- for bubba, allowing his car to be faster than other driver’s cars- to increase the blm support for the sport-
Will wait and see i his poor driving skills all of a sudden improve rapidly and unexpectedly
