This whole noose nonsense is absurd. Yes a few blacks were lynched by hanging, but many 1000s of whites were hung throughout history also. In fact the most iconic images of nooses is whites being hung in the wild west.

Its just amazing how the mention of a noose sparks racial outrage.

 

    The wild south also has it's own iconic historical images. The garage rope may have been incidental this time, but that is not always the case. One race track is already losing sponsorship's for posting rubbish like the quote below.

I had never heard of him either before this. The last time I saw any NASCAR race was like 15 years ago and with an ex's dad.

 

A few Youtube/Twitter searches of him dated before this incident though revealed he's basically a Colin Kaepernick of NASCAR, a barely talented sideshow that gets into fights with people, enjoys the race bait, gives the "sport" 10 seconds of attention for all the wrong reasons followed by empty seats because they wanted to watch cars going in circles, much like people wanted to watch NFL football, rather than the WWE.

Just another copernickel , Its amazing how these guys raised in a white world full of privilege, all of a sudden are oppressed. I guess that overcomes their mediocre performance. One thing for sure. petty racing will never be able to fire him now.

Yup, once you bend the knee, there's no going back. You're owned by the mob.
