So is he mixed race or black? Seems to me if he has a white dad and races in a predominately white sport and has a white girlfriend he is....white right? Why is there a decision to make? So where does the racism part come into play and why think it was a noose unless it was as stunt.
It is BS and I am sure that news cause someone around this country to be shot or have their ass kicked.

Technically speaking, he's "bi-racial" but him being "black" is just how he feels and which side he identifies with more. Bi-racial folks get to identify with which side they feel more comfortable with. Some are indifferent. Somewhere along the way, early childhood, according to Bubba, he said he was treated differently so naturally he gravitated more to one side. Nothing wrong with that. It's his prerogative, not yours or mine to define.
If he was treated differently, why wouldn't he choose the white privileged "non-oppressed" side instead of the oppressed and discriminated side? Doesn't seem logical.
It's not as cut and dry as you may want it to be. You are a smart person and can figure it out.
But if a person has a choice, why would a person choose to be an oppressed minority?
Are all minorities oppressed? Come on. I thought you were smarter than that.

About That Photograph – NASCAR Panics After Someone Caught Intentionally Promoting “Fake Noose” Story – Provide Photo of “Noose”, But Picture Makes Their Story Worse…
Today, NASCAR released a picture of the garage pull-down rope and knot that both they and Bubba Wallace described as a “noose hanging over the car“.
Except it clearly was not hanging over the car, and it clearly wasn’t a “noose” or it wouldn’t function to help pull the door down. Driver Bubba Wallace now calls it “a non-functioning noose.” Or, in simple terms, a garage pull-down rope with a loop-knot tied in the end.
However, what NASCAR does not yet realize is the picture they have provided actually makes the situation worse; because the picture shows something else, something worse:
The picture was taken Sunday, in Bubba Wallace’s garage stall #4, when the race was cancelled due to inclement weather (rain and lightning). However, pay close attention to the partially visible uniform on the man standing at the left of the picture.
That person is a member of the Woods Brothers Race Team and this is a VERY important facet. The picture was taken Sunday, prior to the “noose” (hereafter called a knot) being cut down. According to a statement by the Woods Brothers team, they informed NASCAR officials the garage-pull in question was in place in 2019:
“One of our employees notified us yesterday … he recalled seeing a tied handle in the garage, from last fall. We immediately notified NASCAR and have assisted the investigation”.
So that would explain why one of the Woods Brothers team was present on Sunday June 21st when the photograph was taken.
But here’s the problem…. If that picture was taken by NASCAR that means NASCAR was aware the knot in question was in place in 2019; and therefore knew Bubba Wallace was not the target…. and they would know this on Sunday; before they went out and made a big racial publicity stunt over it.
If it wasn’t NASCAR that took the picture, and the picture was taken by a member of Bubba Wallace’s #43 crew, that means the Richard Petty Motorsports team was aware their driver Bubba Wallace was not a target, and it was the team who made a big racial publicity stunt over it. This scenario seems most likely.
The visibility of a Woods Brothers crew member in the picture taken Sunday means either NASCAR knew the provenance, and/or Richard Petty Motorsports knew the provenance, before they made a big, fake, racially explosive media narrative about it.
Either way is very bad news for the sport of NASCAR because that truth highlights a very damaging intent.

That's a great catch by them.
Pretty much seals the deal. They knew it was not targeted at Wallace before they ran with the story and created a circus. That's not a mistake or a "misunderstanding." That's a hoax.

Swallowed whole by the usual suspects too

You would know, after all nobody knows how to swallow quite like you do.

There's a very simple way to settle the issue of whether it's a noose or not. Grab the damn thing and pull down. If it tightens around your hand, it's a noose. If not, it's just a loop in the end of a rope.

But who cares? Are nooses illegal?
They knew that it wasn't aimed at him but pushed a narrative that it was and in a time especially like the time we are in now, that should certainly be illegal.
