If the person alleging the hate crime claims a noose was involved, it's a hoax.
Add Bubba Smollett, or whatever his name is, to the list. This black BLM activist who moonlights as a lousy NASCAR driver decided to slander the South in general and NASCAR fans in particular with the perfectly predictable charge of Rrrrrrrrrrrrrracism!
I've grown to love the way Ben Shapiro trills the initial r on the word. It makes me laugh every time.
Anyway, getting back to the subject at hand, who uses a noose to make a threat? Who even knows how to tie one of the things? Why would you carry one around with you when having it found on your person who subject you to all manner of risks? It's madness. If you're going to commit an anti-black hate crime, you'd be much more likely to do it with a Sharpie or some spray paint. Heck, even the spray paint is too risky. I'd stick with a Sharpie.
If you're not familiar with the story, Bubba said a noose was found in his garage at the NASCAR racetrack in Talladega, Alabama. The press did it's part and howled about Southern racism. No photo of the alleged "noose" was shown. In a sign of solidarity with NASCAR's only black driver, all of the drivers and pit crews of all of the other teams pushed Bubba's car around the track. #IStandWithBubba was marked in huge letter on the grass. NASCAR management made sure everyone knew they were going to make the racist villains pay. The FBI sent in no fewer than 15 agents to investigate.
It was a garage door pull. It's looped to make it easier to, you know, like, pull down the freaking garage door. It's on every door of every garage at the speedway. They've been there for years. The loops are small. The only person you could hang with one, assuming it was a slip knot, which it isn't, would be G. I. Joe.
It's a loop in a garage door pull rope. |
My favorite meme of the incident. Bubba likes to wear an "I Can't Breathe" t-shirt because activism is his primary job. |
The best tweet of the brouhaha came from Matt Walsh.
NASCAR made this video because a grown man was afraid of his garage door

In completely unrelated news that can't have anything to do with the police bailing out of black neighborhoods because racist loons like Bubba and his enablers in the press push racial paranoia, there have been 1600 shots fired in Minneapolis in the past 30 days. Their locations trace out two neighborhoods. Three guesses as to whose neighborhoods those are and the first two don't count.
Ilíon's Rule of "Hate Crimes" --
ReplyDeleteIf the term "hate crime" is invoked, it's a hoax.
"The only person you could hang with one, assuming it was a slip knot, which it isn't, would be G. I. Joe."
ReplyDeleteWell, there is Adam "Pencil Neck" Schiff, assuming you could get his head through the loop.
Who even knows how to tie one of the things?
ReplyDeleteI can, I can!
Learned it for Halloween decorations.
Also, I am laughing too loud about that edited shirt-- because I just asked my husband what kind of professional driver can't identify a garage door pull.
Foxfier - What kind of driver can’t identify a garage door pull? The kind that see everything through the lens of racism.
