I don't know, why did Jossie Smollete pay two actor friends to "beat him up" and then blame it on racist white guys?

Lets not act like there isn't a history of this stuff happening.

Since we know absolutely nothing, the answer is "who knows".

You can't rule it out until we get facts.

Are you accusing Bubba Wallace of hiring someone to plant a noose in his garage stall?

I'm guessing it had something to do with getting him into the media spotlight and elevating his mediocre career. What exact benefit does NASCAR and/or Bubba Wallace derive from this shit?

Other than that isolated example, what specifically are you talking about?

I don't think anyone is assuming that.

What people are saying is, don't assume that it ISN'T. Just wait.

So it was either some local redneck racist or some redneck racist working on a team within NASCAR. I'm not exactly sure why this difference would matter.

It stands to reason that it was not a false flag in this instance (I'm still waiting to hear from anybody how NASCAR and/or Wallace would derive any benefit from this incident happening). Unless and until there is evidence to prove differently, there's little reason not to think this was a racist act.

You're kidding, right?

Mediocre career? He was a star on one of Fox's most successful minority shows to date. Don't give me that shit.

And why do you assume he did it for his career and not his cause (Smollete)?

And who said Wallace did it? I never once assumed it was Wallace or his camp. It very well could be some over-righteous BLM activist looking to stoke the racial flames.

I'm not ruling out that it's some racist redneck pissed about Wallace's protesting.

I'm just also not ruling out that it's some extremist that wants to create chaos to continue forcing the issue.

It has already been released that they did not sell any this year for this race.

Always the correct answer.

I suppose we're getting into the semantics of "mediocre," but I didn't have a clue who he was and I'm guessing many others didn't either. Elevating himself into the spotlight like that would only have helped.

And why do you assume he did it for his career and not his cause (Smollete)?

I tend to question the motivations of people who do disgraceful shit like he did.

And who said Wallace did it? I never once assumed it was Wallace or his camp. It very well could be some over-righteous BLM activist looking to stoke the racial flames.

There's a ton of over-righteous BLM activists just walking around in NASCAR pits, are there?

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best one.

You're right, it's just as likely it was a false flag as it was some racist guy upset NASCAR did away with his precious Confederate flag the week before. We should totally consider every option equally.
