I wouldn't doubt for one bit if that was done by someone, who's of color, with the intentions of stoking the racism flames. The way things are, if you're BLM, right now you've got tons of non-Blacks out there pandering to you and everything is now racist. We MUST tear down every statue because that'll get rid of racism. We MUST defund the police. We MUST pay $14T in reparations according to the founder of BET.

It's getting pretty crazy / stupid out there these days. People want to defund police yet look at NY's "catch and release" program. They've had a huge increase in shootings and everything else since they implemented that crap. Those idiots actually thought it would be better by letting criminals back out onto the streets, in hopes they show up for a court date? Most of these people are not the type to show up for court. LOL

Update: FBI: Bubba Wallace was not the target of a hate crime

The noose found in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace at Talladega, that sparked a major investigation involving the FBI amid fears of a racist act, appears to have been a misunderstanding as the rope had been there since 2019.

Has anyone even seen a picture of this "noose"? Is this guy pulling a "Smollett"?

I wished I'd looked up a picture earlier. I didn't watch the video so it could've been in there too.

It's a noose but it looks like what we used to do the the cords on the blinds when we were screwing around as kids:

It was known that it was a door pull from the start, the question was whether someone tied the noose because he was using the bay or not. I guess someone found old footage that showed the noose was there for a while.
