Nanker Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Now that they’ve banned the Confederate States’ Battle Flag. Sounds like they should go the next step and call for the banning of nooses at all future races. They better tackle those pesky LSU Fighting Tigers too. They’re named after a Confederate Army battalion that was particularly tough on those Yankee soldiers in the war of Northern Aggression. And who can forget the Washington Redskins.

There’s money in the victimhood cottage industry. Again, I’ll keep on saying it: We‘ve reached a point where we’ve miseducated an entire generation of people to believe victimhood is social currency; while at the same time social progress has nearly eliminated racism. The result is that now racism must be manufactured to meet demand. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Honestly, I hate KFC and think it is overrated... Colonel Sanders obviously was a plantation owner trope, and needs to be removed. Much like Aunt Jemima, this passive aggressive systematic racism needs to end, despite yall thinking it is some sort of joke. /LMAO I just hate KFC, and think I might be able to make it go away by capitalizing with the rest of the white virtue signalers on this BLM movement. Tear his statues down!!! 3 hours ago, Doc said: What I want to know is: did anyone actually check to see that it was even a noose and not just a fixed loop on the end of a string? A noose on a garage pull would be a stupid thing to install. I think it was A double bowline knot. But, I have been wondering the same thing. I assume since they have not officially said what type of knot it was, it was not a hangman's knot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123719bwiqrb Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I honestly wonder how pro sports are able to still exist. All the owners are rich old white men, and they act like slave owners rarely reworking the paltry payment terms of their "players". Plus sports are not inclusive, only the most talented can play, which is not equal opportunity. It's really is time to cancel all sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 KIRA DAVIS: The Problem Isn’t Bubba Wallace, or a Noose… the Problem Is the Media. Some may ask, “If a story like this hits the mainstream, shouldn’t it be covered immediately? After all, it’s relevant considering current events.” I most certainly am not suggesting a story like this be ignored in the name of peace. What I am suggesting is that a story like this needs to be reported. Not opined, not instantaneously broken down into breathless monologues on slumping cable news channels, not turned into Instagram soundbites set to maudlin, bleak music. Reported. Like news. Because that’s what it is until there’s enough information for it to be something bigger. If you think that’s an impossible task, consider your local news. They have reporters, entertainment reporters, a weather reporter, and typically what is called an “opinion desk.” They actually make a specific space for opinion. Journalism is what you see on the 5 o’clock news. Straight reporting from the scene of an incident, witness interviews, details, and information. In fact, if you pay attention you’ll notice that often when an anchor tries to get a street reporter to editorialize what is happening around them, they will go to great lengths to avoid descriptions that could feel personally motivated. Your local news station and publications are the last bastion of real journalism. Sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the opposite: that since they haven't said what type of knot it was, it wasn't a hangman's knot but a uni/non-slip/Kreh knot, i.e. having coils around the rope but a fixed loop.

Doc Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 To be fair, it looks like a noose, and without knowing how long it was there, could appear to be a hate crime. But that's where prudence and investigating before telling the world "it's a hate crime!" comes in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 That's not a double bowline knot. It doesn't appear to look like that in the earlier pictures. This is a double bowline knot.

Tying a noose with hopes it will offend someone at some point down the line seems like a pretty stupid plan. With the current tension around the country, NASCAR's recent ban of confederate flags, Bubba's BLM decals on his car I certainly see how anyone encountering that knot in his garage would immediately think the worst. There was no hate crime. There was no hoax or play for victim hood. There was only a series of coincidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't going to review months of film (which I doubt was retained more than 2 weeks) with hopes of finding a guy who tied a noose on a garage pull for reasons unknown.
