They gon say it wasn’t a hate crime, the noose been there since 2019 and when it was put them there was no way for them to know in 2020 that Bubba would be assigned that garage for a race.

Lying mofos.

“Wish they woulda tied it around Bubba and drug him around the pits..”

Dustin Skinner is ridiculous.

"He has a great wife,kids, and pets. He has black friends" -Dustin friend Timmy

"I love everyone this is not about race" -racist Dustin Skinner

What a piece of shit.

becuase you can't watch cars race around a track without a Dixie flag being around somewhere?

Oh, the fragility.

shit didnt quite go as planned

"Dustin Skinner Is my son and he’s an amazing father and amazing man he’s also a full-grown adult his views are not the same as Angie and myself we support Bubba have his whole career we don’t like what’s going on in our country anymore than anybody else"

I guess the pressure pushed him to condemn the statement. That "we don't like what's going on in our country" is very common racist language that means they hate Black people protesting for our rights and the "liberal agenda" as they call it. I'm gonna trust that his second statement is a face saver.

Cause it feels like a setup.

I tend to wait before going all in.

Just seems like lately a lot of these reports are shaky.

that nigga set us back tremendously

I don’t think Bubba Wallace has anything to do with this but I definitely wonder if NASCAR ran with it before checking videos to see if it was legit.

Again, it might be some real shit but it also makes us look like we are overplaying our hands if it’s something that was there all along.

a crew/staff member did, reported it and then NASCAR jumped off the couch, im assuming because they didn't want to be seen like they didnt have his back or take this seriously

that's 100% a garage/bay door pull. common in warehouses all over just because its effective

ultimately he's going to end up eating the brunt of the backlash from this.

perceived it as a threat.

but at the same time it’s one of those things that can easily backfire on you.

I thought it would be a rope with a loop and a shitty knot.

That’s a damn professional slip knot noose.

Once again the FBI shows us they ain’t shit.

I think the thing that gets lost and glossed over here is the immense amount of pressure Bubba Wallace is under. All black folks can attest to this too......being first of being other or speaking up while being different carries a huge burden with it. You have to do your job AND represent things that may be beyond yourself but it becomes your responsibility.

That's alot to ask of someone so my hats off to this dude man.

living with your shxt tucked in all the time.

it's psychologically emasculating.

but if you haven't seen Uppity about Willy T. Ribbs on Netflix its great.

NASCAR reported it the FBI, taking it very seriously.

Apparently the actual NASCAR organization has been trying to get their shit together though which is nice.

A crew member saw it and reported it.

NASCAR took it seriously and reported it and backed up Bubba.

FBI did the investigation.

Not sure what the problem is.

Seems to me the only issue is that NASCAR could’ve done more research before reporting it to avoid looking like it was a set-up and fake outrage.

But shit, people in this post didn’t even hear the whole story before jumping to conclusion so fuck y’all complaining about.

Never liked the sport myself but my kids have gotten into it and I’m happy with the stance they’ve taken. Sure, they should’ve done this a long time ago but it’s never too late to make the right choice so I applaud them for standing behind Bubba and I applaud him for driving a #blacklivesmatter car and wearing a I Can’t Breathe face mask knowing that their fan base is what it is. Also applaud the other drivers standing up the way they did with the commercial and changing some of their cars sponsors for the cause.

Any step in the right direction is a positive to me. We are at a critical juncture with good momentum. We are pushing for change in every area possible so there really is no time for splintering and pushing unnecessary hate towards someone like Bubba and NASCAR when they have been making strides. That’s the reason why shit never works because we end up fighting each other instead of keeping focus. Damn. Smh

Really good ammo to use against those still supporting cops in this moment. "You motherfuckers don't deserve the benefit of the doubt."

i guess Bomani wanted to kick his ass one more time before Will goes off to Fox News.

a lot of these folks were just unimpressive and expendable in their former fields. but because theyre willing to parrot conservative cultural grievances...theyll always appeal to the audience over in that bubble.

whitlock couldnt even hack it at fs1 with a broad audience. but hes a star over at outkick aka the fox news of sports.

that Bubba is having to endure throughout this whole ordeal. As a matter of fact BEFORE and after the NASCAR stance. My hat is off to that man

im kinda suspicious theyre getting paid by the prager u folks.

even pre-maga they were always cooning w/ it

a 'door pull' like that wasnt in any other garage but bubbas.

11 other garages had pulldown ropes. nothing like a noose tho. except in bubbas garage.

https://mobile.twitter.com/MartySmithESPN/status/1276194402302640129

was about slavery.

they gonna find a way lol.

also i cant think of a cause that rallies more conservatives in more fields than spiking the ball when an accusation of racism turns out to be inaccurate by any degree.

cops said shake shack poisoned them and it turned out to be an actual/intentional lie. no mea culpa from the conservatives who promoted it. but some people do the right thing as an understandable reaction to a potential instance of racism that thankfully doesn’t look like it was aimed at the alleged target...and conservatives wanna restructure every institution in america so the same mistake doesn’t happen again.

and a door pull would be dirty after 1 weekend of use...even moreso after several months.

also a noose would be a horrible door pull because the tension from the pull would tighten the rope around the hand of the puller.

it really was there in 2019?

I read they had some sort of video/photo evidence it really was there back then, I didn't see proof but if we go off of that what's the devil's advocate move?

That they refashioned it once they found out Bubba would be in that garage?

If that's the answer why was it there in 2019?

In anticipation that he might be in that garage or at the track in general (which for the record is a totally possible explanation)?

and the noose was presumably tied some time over that weekend.

Phelps said the noose was not in that formation at the beginning of the October race weekend but it was by the end of the weekend. They do not know who tied it, why it was tied, and why no one reported it.
-----

devils advocate i guess is that the same rope was being used in october but not tied as a noose originally. someone tied it in a noose by the end of the weekend. the noose stayed perfectly clean past that weekend and until june of the following year. it was the only garage in all 29 of nascars racing facilities with a noose tied like that. and nascars only black driver just happened to end up in that specific garage on the weekend following his public elevation as a #blacklivesmatter supporter and his vehement calls for the banning of the confederate flag from all nascar events.

lol maybe real life is just stranger than fiction.

Who the fuck needs a noose to pull down a door?

impossible to dispute.

that garage was allegedly used by another crew in october 2019 before this past weekend.

i still havent seen any explanation for why that 'door pull' has no stains or wear and tear if it was supposedly there back then.

Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX? That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!

I swear this clown is just...

and you still would meet with him to get your medal?

Mail my shit b.
