They look exactly the same except for maybe the size. Dishonesty.
No. They look nothing the same.
Why dont you research a hang mans noose and then you can quit being equally ignorant as Bubba.
By your ignorant definition, both my fishing boats have 4 nooses in them. The "noose" in Bubbas garage was an over hand bite. Common knot in boating. Not a noose except in the eyes of an ignorant..

...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....
Wait a sec. They were pulled over for driving while black and then given a warning? A warning for what? Don’t drive while black? You might ought to explain that a bit better.

Can anyone honestly say that only a "knucklehead" could see a resemblance?
Well, besides the size of the rope, knot, and loop, I’m going to say the two hoods vary just slightly; in fact, one looks much more like a baseball cap and doesn’t cover quite as much of the face. But that’s just my opinion.

I am only reporting what has been told to me by others. Since I am not black, I can neither confirm nor deny what they said from my personal experience.

It is a common experience for an African American driver to be pulled over by the police while they are not speeding and have broken no obvious traffic laws (like trying to beat a yellow light). This happens more often than once a year for most men of color. A specific example: Earl Harrigan was driving through an affluent neighborhood with another black man in the car. He was pulled over and both he and his passenger were questioned about where they were coming from, where they were going and what they were doing in this particular neighborhood. Mr Harrigan wanted to know why he was pulled over and it was because his tail-light was not working. Mr Harrigan was released with a warning to "fix his taillight". Mr Harrigan lives in that neighborhood and has for 15 years. Mr Harrigan's taillight was miraculously working just fine when he arrived home to inspect it for himself. Mr Harrigan's Passenger was the pastor of an Atlanta Megachurch that Mr Harrigan was picking up from the airport.

This type of "special attention" happens with sufficient frequency that the African American community coined a term to describe it ... DWB ... Driving While Black.

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.
I’d want a lot more evidence than that. Not everyone is as proficient at tying knots, or knows what they're for. But it’s not going to the police that is the problem, it’s the rush to judgment, making statements without knowing.

Their zeal without knowledge is demonstrating as much racism as the racism they deplore. There have now been so many incidents blown all out of proportion or exposed as hoaxes that their cause can no longer be considered a cause but only political hype and it is their own fault.

Unless you are a black man, I don't see how you can know what is or is not a common experience for black men.

In any event, I was asked to explain a term that I used and as I explicitly stated, this it what I was told. The number of angry black people marching suggests to me that there may be some truth to their perception of unequal treatment. In any event, I do not think it credible when you claim that perceived unequal treatment by the police is a myth. I suggest you ask your sources directly before making such emphatic statements.

This is NOT the rope in Wallace's garage. It's allegedly similar to the one in his stall, though there is no one to quote on this.

Setting aside your ethnic gnosticism do you have any actual evidence

OK, here's the knot that allegedly was the same as the one in Wallace's garage.

And here's an overhand bight knot.

They don't look the same to me.

Decent people apologize in these situations. "Hey, I thought you did something, but I was wrong. I misjudged a group based on something I misinterpreted. I'm thankful it turned out to be nothing." Something like that. This guy is now digging in. Terrible.
