Well I'm glad the fbi has google search skills as good or better than mine. lol actually I use duckduckgo as I dont trust google results with these investigative possible hoax searches. its usually "fringe" sites that have this info which google buries.
IMO, the first strange thing about when it was first reported, was that no one uploaded a picture anywhere. Wouldn't the first thing anyone would do (these days) after finding a noose is grab their phone and take a picture or video? Imagine how differently things would have played out if a picture had been available with the initial report.
Is NASCAR the name of a person? Who reported it to NASCAR? That is the question and that is the person who needs to be investigated as to why it was reported. It would also be nice to know just how many people, and exactly who looked at this thing and said, yep that's a racial attack rather than point out it was a fucking door pulldown.
A member of the crew reported it. FYI .... yeah, they knew it was a pull cord. But that knowledge doesn't necessarily imply that it wasn't intentionally tied a certain way with racial intent. In hindsight, yes, it was not a racial knot. But the questions is: In light of the NASCAR flag tensions, and In light of the BLM affiliation to the driver, and In light of the recent nationwide protests and riots, Was it reasonable for someone, at that time, to suddenly notice the knot, and notify authorities as a precaution, at least? FYI, this currently is not comparable to Jussie's clown show.
No it was not reasonable in any sane world to immediately assume it was some racial hate crime, but it is absolutely understandable that given the current climate that half the nation waking up every morning thinking anything and everything has some racial component to it.
22 subsequent posts.... and no one has recognized the creativity required to come up with that one. That was pretty quick and pretty damn good. That's why I've always appreciated Freddie... politics aside, ....he's a witty motherf*cker. I don't know if ya'll see it or not.... but he is. There's more than a few smart cats here, I'll give ya that. Good one Tsing.
I don't think half the nation wakes up thinking everything has some potential racial component to it ... except nooses.
I think the racist goons should see the checkered flag as an integration of the races, because it is black and white. Ok, ok, so the final lap flag is white. We can overlook that bit, yes?
