Bubba Wallace and Publicity

Bubbas Wallace is a black Nascar driver. Until this week I had never heard of him; but, I also don't follow Nascar. A few days ago he claimed that his crew found a noose inside his garage (some reported they also found a confederate flag; but, that was complete bs). Mr. Wallace gained the sympathy of the other drivers and Nascar; but, it turns out is was bs. In fact the noose was nothing more than the pull rope for the garage door.

While Mr. Wallace claims now that he never saw the noose and was only told about it by someone, that is a weak answer. Now, why did he go on national television saying how he had been targeted before waiting for the situation to be investigated? Let me give some context. For a decade I have written about Pastor Carol Daniels; but, I have NEVER claimed to have evidence as to who killed her or why. Those are improper speculations without evidence. A person said they wanted to set up a Facebook page regarding her death where people could speculate on who the murderer was, they contacted me and I told them it was a bad idea. Specifically I said that if someone had actual information, they should not make it public but contact the police instead. How does it make sense, if you have real information, that you would publicize it and warn the guilty that the police are coming for them?

Mr. Wallace may very well be a liar. He now admits the "noose" which had been there since last year, long before anyone knew he would have that garage stall, was not meant for him. He is the only black driver in Nascar. It wasn't a noose, it was a looped rope used to pull down the garage door. By the way, many of the garage doors have the same rope so that the doors can be pulled down.

Now, here is my question. Why did he go public before letting the investigation go through? I'm sorry, you cannot just walk in to a Nascar garage and there are cameras everywhere because the cars and equipment are worth millions and people bet on Nascar. Why didn't Nascar tell him to keep it private till all the video could be reviewed and the cops investigate? Why didn't Nascar investigate before saying they would permanently remove anyone involved before at least looking at the rope?

Recently, a young black man hanged himself. It was deemed a suicide. After other claims of white on black crime, the family wanted proof it wasn't a lynching. Unfortunately for them, there was video proof, he committed suicide and they asked to see the video and they saw it. That must have been miserable. In Oakland it was claimed multiple nooses were hung from trees in a park, turns out they were not nooses either, a black man said he put them there for some exercise stuff. I wont ever bother going into the Jussie Smollet lie where he hired actual Africans to attack him so that he could claim Trump supporters had tried to lynch him, video proved him a liar too.

Please, show me the last provable lynching in the United States. The 1960s, it happened then. I am old and remember. They lynched blacks and whites that were fighting for black civil rights. I can show modern day police brutality, I cannot find modern day lynching's. The last real lynching I am aware of was of a transgender lesbian about 30 years ago, they made a movie about it. The person lynched was white.

Here is truth, every rope in a circle is not a noose. It may be a lasso or a knot used by sailors or just a loop. Every okay symbol made with your index finger and thumb is not a "white supremacy" symbol, it may just mean okay. In fact, I can post images ad nauseum of black musicians using the okay sign in front of their eye, are they all white supremacist's?

I used to hire and interview administrators and others. One of the questions I would ask was fairly simple. An employee comes to you with a horrendous accusation against another employee. What is your first step? People would say, that is terrible, suspend them or fire them or whatever. My answer was always the same, separate them and investigate.

Let us consider another situation. Rayshard Brooks passed out from being drunk in the drivethru of a Wendys. The cops came and woke him up, After about 30 minutes and his failing two drunk tests, they went to handcuff him. He beat the cops (felony number 2), stole one of their tasers (felony 3), ran away (felony 4) and shot at one of the cops twice (felony 5 and 6). The cop shot back and he died. The cop is now facing the death penalty. Notice this, the cop didn't shoot at him even though he had a weapon until after Mr. Brooks shot at the cop. Think about that for a second. By the way, after the cop shot him, he gave CPR anyways. Should be noted that the cops step mother was fired because the cop defended himself. Where is her gofundme page?

When I did personnel, I used to say my job was to be lied to. People lie for advantage. Women lie, men lie, whites lie, blacks lie, Hispanics lie, Asians lie, all groups lie if it is to their advantage. I learned that a long time ago. That is why you investigate first. I used to wonder why my enemies would ask me for help when they told the truth even after they had lied about me. I may never be right exactly; but, I tell the truth that I believe at the moment. I'm always changing and I am still learning even as old as I am.

Mr. Wallace is a liar. He can sue me, I can use the money. He did not investigate according to his owns words. He made no efforts to investigate his own claims, he didn't care to. That is a flagrant disregard for the facts and truth. Sue me ass.

By the way, I don't know when I posted it; but, I previously said I didn't think states should allow confederate flags on license plates. That was years ago. They lost the war so f them.
