- Thread starter jas4bama
- Start date
Hoax?
:mj07:
There's a noose in the guys garage, and he didn't "set it up". Tell me the hoax?
Wait, I thought Bubba was a liar and the garage pull "had been there for a year"?
Jas4bama: Does this change anything? Bubba is wrong in thinking it was there to intimidate him, but it looks like it was definitely there.

Although I understand the reluctance to release the photo(s), perhaps NASCAR should have done so from the very beginning. Anyone who sees the evidence and still believes that it is merely a "garage door pull" or whatever BS excuse was being bandied about, well, that's entirely on them and their refusal to acknowledge reality and their own possible racist tendencies.
Peace!

The FBI concluded it had been there since October and no hate crime committed. I?ll go ahead and side with the FBI over a madjacks poster. No hard feelings.
The issue here is that Bubba Smollett is saying he never saw the rope until after NASCAR came to him. But Bubba Smollett couldn?t wait to run to anyone who would put a mic in his face, prior to any investigation, and defend himself. Defend yourself for what? For something you never saw? Since he looked foolish, now the woke crowd wants to pivot to ?but it was still a noose.? You don?t get to set the narrative from onset then pivot to save face. The statement he released the day afterwards changes the entire context of this fiasco, had he done that instead of running to the media for an interview. Instead, he wanted the attention. Pardon me for thinking this all doesn?t pass the smell test.
All in a country of ?innocent until proven guilty.?
Yeah, ok...

North Carolina governor, others slam speedway owner after ad offering ?Bubba Rope? for sale

A North Carolina racetrack owner is facing severe backlash after advertising ?Bubba Rope? for sale on Facebook, just days after a noose was found in Bubba Wallace?s garage stall at Talladega International Speedway.
Mike Fulp, the owner of 311 Motor Speedway in Stokes County, North Carolina, advertised the ?Bubba Rope? for sale on Facebook on Wednesday, according to the Winston-Salem Journal. The post was taken down on Thursday.
?Buy your Bubba Rope today for only $9.99 each, they come with a lifetime warranty and work great.?
NASCAR released a photo of the noose that was hanging in Wallace?s garage stall on Thursday, which federal investigators said had been there since October 2019 and wasn?t directed at Wallace ? the sport?s lone Black driver. While he has been subject to harsh criticism in recent days, NASCAR drivers did mount a massive show of solidarity behind Wallace before Monday?s race.
Naturally, Fulp?s post drew harsh backlash ? both from users on Facebook and from North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper.
?This incident of racism is horrific and shameful,? Cooper?s deputy communications director Ford Porter told the Winston-Salem Journal. ?North Carolina is better than this.?
Local NAACP chapter president Jeff Crisp was outraged, too, and said he?s contacted the NAACP?s state director about seeking criminal charges.
?It is horrible that someone would post something of that nature,? Crisp said, via the Winston-Salem Journal.
?It's just absolutely unnecessary in these times of tension. You go back to slavery days and hanging people and calling them 'strange fruit' on the trees because there were so many slaves hanged. This is not the time for comments like this, just causing unnecessary tension.?
Fulp has a history of racist and offensive social media posts in recent weeks, including one on Wednesday asking for fans to bring Confederate flags ? something NASCAR finally banned earlier this month ? to their ?heritage night? on Saturday. He also opened up his racetrack in May to fans despite Cooper?s order banning large gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however did not let the ?corona-infested? media members in.

Wait, he found out when the president of NASCAR reported it to him. How is he the problem? I don't think your assessment of what happened passes the smell test.

The problem is he ran to the media acting like he was a victim and claiming anyone who dare question that is the problem. The statement he released the following day should?ve been how it was handled from jump. Appreciate you reading the full context of my reply though.
From where I'm standing, nascar was wise to jump in front of the potential scandal. Better safe than sorry , particularly in the current mob environment.
