How do you know you aren't, because you say so? Please. It all depends on what people see of you. You can do all you can and still be seen as oppressive. I mentioned this about following store policy and being called a racist (not in those words, but what else do you think "Of course a white guy would ask...")
I can't help what lens's other people insist on looking through.
I have zero doubt Bubba Smollett lied and NASCAR placated Him because they thought it would make them look good and virtuous. They might have gene collaborated on this little stunt
It's easy to imagine that if Wallace went into his designated garage for the first time and saw the noose, that he might think it was recently put there by someone who knew the space was to be used by him. He wouldn't have known any better at first than the rest of us, that it had been there since last year.
It seems careless of the track's management, to not have checked the garage for problems, before turning it over to a new occupant. And of course, why was a noose there in the first place?

how stupid is this guy? he’s still insisting it was a noose, so ‘racism’

“It was a noose. Whether it was tied in 2019 or whatever, it was a noose. So it wasn’t directed at me but someone tied a noose. That’s what I’m saying” -Bubba Wallace speaking out overnight, responding the the FBI findings that he was not the target of a hate crime
According to NASCAR the door pull someone put up was fashioned as a noose. So it was a noose, but it was not intended for Wallace. Just some racist wrench having a laugh.
No, it wasn't. You're lying.

Very true...everytime there was a leak on Mueller how many times did we hear "they've got him this time" and "the walls are closing in"
In all fairness to Bubba Wallace he was not the one that reported that it was a noose. He was told by NASCAR apparently he was not even at the facility. I do have two issues with what happened and neither of them concern Bubba Wallace because I think he just got caught in the middle of a crappy situation.
1) First NASCAR was so scared of the bad publicity concerning this did they jump the gun and made a spectacle out of this instead of having it investigated first. Again I say that because Bubba Wallace was not even there yet so it’s not as if he was screaming at NASCAR Demanding some special treatment.
2) The second is a noose is a noose regardless of what you’re doing with it. It takes time to make a noose much more time than it would to make a garage pull with one or two knots. I don’t know how many crews have been in that garage I don’t know how many people looked at that noose and thought oh no big deal. What is clear is when people knew a black guy was coming into the garage, That noose was going to be a problem. So the reaction of the news was only prompted by the fact that a black driver was coming and not because a noose only has one purpose it is a symbol of hate as far as the black community is concerned.
So I have no problem with Bubba Wallace, I expect him to be in the media because he needs sponsors in these drivers prostitute themselves in front of all kinds of people to obtain those sponsors. You really think those drivers drink the beer smoke the cigars and eat the fast food crap that’s on the side of those cars? No they don’t but they say they love it because they’re just prostitute and for the money because racing is expensive.
I am curious to know how long the noose was there and how many crews have gone through that garage without thinking about what it symbolizes. And I would not want those crews to be crucified I just think it’s a good teaching moment a good time for us to come together and say hey this is not acceptable. It is a learning moment unfortunately we are in a world of partisanship and Gotchu Twitter post that do not help the conversation between races and cultures within America.
