NASCAR: Noose Found in Bubba Wallace's Garage at Talladega Speedway, and Social Media Loses It
On Sunday, NASCAR announced a noose was found in driver Bubba Wallace's garage at Talladega [...]
There are a lot of people in my mentions who think that Bubba Wallace’s team set up the noose to gain attention.
If you think that, you’re a POS and most likely a racist.

“If racism was still something that kind of existed in the abstract and you hadn’t yet fully digested it...let this crystallize the damn thing.”

The noose in Bubba Wallace's garage stall was found by a member of Bubba's team. For those asking, NASCAR says it happened -- it isn't investigating a report that a noose was there, NASCAR says it was there. #nascar

I’ll race with him on Sunday and ride with him on a Monday. I do this because he’s family, our @NASCAR family!!! It’s hard for me to comprehend all this, but one thing is for sure...When you f*ck with family you’re f*cking with us all. @BubbaWallace #ivealwaysstoodwithbubba pic.twitter.com/e6pDDmXu6J

prevnextWhen you take away their Confederate flags and they come back with a noose, it tells us one thing. Both are symbols of racial hatred. https://t.co/4s3RORfij7

NASCAR banned the confederate flag.
Bubba Wallace is the sports only black driver.
Yesterday a noose was found hanging in Wallace’s garage at Talladaga.
Surprised?

Despicable on every level, obviously. NASCAR must have cameras. Find the culprit and punish them. https://t.co/1DG9zOKbMN

prevnextAdditional news on the noose found in Bubba Wallace's garage stall Sunday:
— Bob Pockrass (@bobpockrass) June 22, 2020
--Bubba Wallace did not see the noose.
--Talladega County Sheriff said NASCAR reported the incident to the FBI, which would handle any criminal investigation. #nascar
A noose in Bubba Wallace’s garage is blatant racism. But the racism at America’s kitchen tables, on its drives to school, in its group texts and in its offices is more dangerous. Deal with those acts and the person with the noose won’t feel supported. But he knows he’s not alone.

Whew! Imagine if the #MAGA cult investigated Trump's claims with the same energy they're using to attack #BubbaWallace.

Twitter didn’t give me enough characters. Bubba Wallace is a damn good man and I’m proud to have met him, and even prouder of the charge for change he is leading in NASCAR. #BLM #IStandWithBubba pic.twitter.com/wHboo7OXOh
