I’ve had a noose made for me by an angry group of villagers and I can confirm it’s genuinely scary
That one s about as intimidating and scary as a puppy with a flower.

I was being called a Massive Albino Tasmanian Devil by an angry Cabindan village though.
Dave!

Not every act is racist.

If you look hard enough you can find racism anywhere, it’s making a mockery of any genuine racists who should be educated or removed from the gene pool on all sides.
Dave!
and playing devil’s advocate, it’s also ok to accept that some people will actively try to find racism even when it doesn’t exist. So it’s hardly surprising that the extremists will take the opportunity to gloat and score points.
Agreed.ZedLeg wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 12:41 pm While it’s obviously good that this doesn’t seem to be a racist statement. The problem you have now is that the reporting on it is being used by the usual right wing suspects to diminish any claims of racism and the blm movement as a whole.
It’s ok to accept that systemic racism exists and should be countered while also accepting that this doesn’t seem to be connected to it.

Either way, it’s a pretty sorry state of affairs and doesn’t help anyone.

It doesn't look like the pic that Nascar released, so I'd say no.
Sauce - https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/ ... ba-wallaceNascar asked officials at every track to check their garages this week. Nascar said out of 1,684 garage stalls at 29 tracks, only 11 had a garage door pull-down rope tied in a knot. The only one fashioned in a noose was the one discovered Sunday by a crew member in Wallace’s No. 43 garage stall.
