Bubba isn't "stirring the pot," only racist/bigoted white people incensed at the ban on confederate flags and hatred of BLM...are doing that and keep "stirring-the-pot." 
Since in and of itself, it's not against the law to just be a racist or bigot (as long as one isn't exercising it to control jobs/promotions/housing/Etc.) why can't those folks just be honest...and publicly own/admit it?

Or....it is possible that little rope noose was retied and photographed to cause people to talk about racism. There is some of that going on. There are a lot of new words, maybe not NEW words, but negative labels for people who are not guilty of wrong doing. It is in many cases warranted and needed to be reminded that many areas of this country did segregate and had discriminatory laws. I believe that our National Laws are now fair. I think it is wrong to ignore law breakers and miscreants and to diminish all police officers. I think affirmative action and paying people because of their race is wrong. There are a lot of people who are not guilty of being racist but only shamed now for being born white. I was not aware until midnight last night as I was reading what hurts others about white privilege were little things like the band-aids being only the color of white flesh and the make up geared toward white skin. That does give one pause. The television commercials are showing a lot of black and Asian people now. I don't know if that will help anyone do better or feel better. Being mad at people because they are white doesn't seem like a good thing. I do know that someone is going to post back at me that I just don't "get it" and I will be thinking I am glad he doesn't live at my house or on my street. You know...all this talking and all this conscience raising just sometimes makes matters worse. But I did learn and think about the band aids and make up. Now if all parents would teach their children to not run from the police and all parents would teach their children to not break the law and all parents would teach their children it hurts people when you make them feel small and bad and wrong when they are not. But it is right to make children feel small and bad and wrong when they are breaking rules and being unfair and unkind to others because they "can".
