My philosophy is "Love God. Love Your Neighbor." Now I don't always execute it like I would like, but that's the goal.
It’s a good target to strive for ... but know this, that isn’t what politicians are shooting for and I think you know what they all want and that’s your fieldity to them. You shouldn’t have to bow to anyone or anything save the Lord... your allegiance should be to your Father and the family (spiritual) that you were adopted into. Trump, Biden, liberalism, conservatism, Marxism blah blah... all BS. The Father, Son and HG are the only ones you should pay tribute to.

Here is the so called noose
Apparently the knucklhead is still insisting its a noose. He has an agenda

'It's a straight-up noose!' — Bubba Wallace is angry at online response to FBI's investigation

It may be just me, but the first thing that I would have done if I was on his team and saw that would be to walk over to another garage and ask to see their door pull rope. If they had a "knot" and my black driver had a "loop", then I would have called the police, too. If both had identical "loops", then I would accept it as a simple pull rope and retie it if I found it uncomfortable.

The whole thing is ridiculous and should never have happened in the first place. A loop at the end of a rope which is part of a pull rope for a garage door doesn't come close to being a noose. Its absurd to think so. Now the knucklehead is still doubling down on it. This kind of thing diminishes actual racism.

No excuse for doubling down, I will not attempt to defend that. However I have enough black friends to know that we can live on the same street and still live in two different worlds. There is probably no black man in America that has never been stopped and questioned by the police for the crime of DWB (Driving While Black). Have you ever been pulled over for absolutely no reason? You had no taillight out, you were not speeding, you ran no red light or stop sign. Having an honest talk with a group of Christian men revealed that our black Brothers in Christ had all experienced that multiple times. Stopped, questioned and released with a warning. Less you think it is a poverty thing, one is a professional singer that has performed at the White House for 4 US Presidents and his experiences were no different than those of any other black man at that table.

Those experiences leave scars. Those scars shape perceptions. So I personally tread a little lighter when criticizing what is obviously a false perception (like a loop on a door pull) because I don't know what REAL experiences he has had that have left scars.

It looks exactly like a noose. There are several ways to make a pull down rope handle.

I know plenty of black people who have never experienced racism. Even if what you say is true and its not, it doesnt excuse this exaggeration of a loop at the end of a garage door rope.

It actually falls somewhere in the middle. Wallace is ranked 21 out of 49 with 0 wins and 0 in the Top 5 placing him at the top of the bottom of the pack. The evidence suggests that he is a mediocre NASCAR racer.

That does not mean that he is only there because he is black, but one can certainly have the honest opinion that he doesn’t deserve to be racing in NASCAR because of his skill.

Sounds like there are 28 people behind him that deserve it less.

Can anyone honestly say that only a "knucklehead" could see a resemblance?

Only MAYBE. They could have inferior cars due to less funding (or not). They could be less experienced Drivers just starting their careers (or not).

So I agree that those ranked below him may deserve it less, but a person who follows NASCAR racing and knows the drivers and details could honestly believe that Wallace is not a new driver with an inferior car, but is just an inferior driver with a superior car that should have gone to another driver based on Merit over Affirmative Action. That argument would not have been reasonable if Wallace won races or finished in the Top 5, but since Wallace does neither, it is not necessarily a racist opinion.

Do you follow NASCAR to know the details on Wallace's skill and car as compared to the rest of the 0 Win, 0 Top-5 pack? I don't.

The track is used for many races per year. All kinds of teams are in and out. It means nothing. I think the story here is Bubba and his team mates are too stupid to know the difference between a noose and a pull loop.
Either that or they are liars.

As of this morning, he is still sticking to his story. He is NASCAR's Jusse Smollet.
