When I see a noose like this , I think of old western movies , I would have never thought it was something racist, I'll have to look at nooses differently now after this week.

Due to the historical rash of lynchings of black people, by mobs with little to no reason except the victim was black, nooses have LONG been used...to try and intimidate blacks.

Anyone who doesn't know THAT, is either extremely naïve or....


Nooses Appearing Across The Country (click here)

Nooses hung from trees, hateful vestiges of Jim Crow-era lynchings that are still used to intimidate Black people, have been sighted in at least 11 cities around the country in recent weeks, according to an unofficial tally by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Six separate incidents that were initially thought to be racist displays have turned out to be false alarms, Tuesday’s count of the incidents revealed.

In one of the more shocking scenes found Saturday in Milwaukee, laminated photos of six nationally recognized Black victims — most of whom died at the hands of police — were found tied to nooses and hanging from a tree in Riverside Park,

Don't believe me, please show that to anyone that knows how the program works and they'll agree. It is not an un-altered photo. The black line above the rope end, shadows come from a light source and that's no shadow. Where is the light source? His foot? That's also probably the closest thing to pure black in the entire photo. lol It's fake! Look, I'm no weatherman either but I know the difference between a drizzle and a down poor. Please, I'm not asking you to like or respect me. Personally I could care less, just trust me on this one. It's been altered.

Really? The image you posted of the noose picture opened in PhotoShop is fuzzy/pixelated everywhere! You sure seemed to be drawing on some extensive experience with PS to (unilaterally) declare that the picture was a fake. Maybe you don't fully understand jpeg?

Article says 29, NASCAR says 30, you counted the tracks at 31. Media says NASCAR said 29... Who FC anymore lol. Someone here took the liberty at altering something from the article and implying/assuming they really meant 29 + the one they were at. Bit of a stretch there don't you think? And then added the word 'other' which used where it was, was purposely misleading to back up their argument. It's still there. Look for yourself.
And you are correct. Seems the good ol boys at Left Turn central don't know what properties they have or not.

Wait, now NASCAR is "MSM" too??? That's a new one, at least to me. BTW, don't apologize to me, that should go to the person you jumped all over when he posted the information provided by NASCAR stating that they had checked "the 1,684 garage stalls at 29 tracks".

I showed you proof, the fact you choose not to accept it is a different issue and I can't help you there, your just stuck on stupid I guess. I've also shown you proof of others here manipulating others words. I have another word I generally use instead of manipulation but I'll keep it to myself. Well no I won't. It's called lying. Nothing more or less. Lying. To be the one doing it is called a liar. Figured you might need to know that as well.
"lucky nobody called your bluff" I'm not lucky, I don't gamble (never have) and I don't bluff!
I think I'll head out to the fire pit, enjoy watching the flames as I think of you old farts... flaming each other.
So long and thanks for all the fish. = )

AS far as I can find, you are the ONLY one declaring the noose photo to be fake. And you claim not to be a PS master!!! Sorry, but that's not proof at all. I'm not even going to respond to the name calling, etc. (removed from this response)

Because there are numerous example of fake racism by white people (Jussie Smollett is but one of hundreds - perhaps thousands); we do not need to be educated on being sensitive to real racism. We understand real racism and hate it. However, when no investigation is done ... when fact are not presented ... when a photo of the actual "noose" is not shown to the public, it is quite easy to drift over to the Jussie Smollett paradigm. In fact, it's my default position until shown otherwise. And I wasn't shown otherwise. So, it was just a rope to grab the garage door.

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".

Fake noose.

Stop being sucked into these FALSE NARRATIVES and outright LIES.
Your being played. Your doing exactly what theses people want. You know the truth, the FBI cleared this as a hoax.

Do you realize that all the information came directly from the President of NASCAR?

Have you not watched the news??? It was NOT a noose... It was a rope on the garage door to pull the door down like most people have, that had been there for 9 months per video and confirmation of others in that garage. Bubba did not think it was a noose, and he does not like all of the racial implications that people are trying to keep stirred up.
