Is there any proof that this may be another Smollet situation?

My initial response was to somebody ridiculously suggesting it was a false flag operation based on no evidence and with no good reason for doing so.

Could have or may have. We don't know yet and we may never know the truth of the situation. I hope we do.

There is plenty of good reason to consider the possibility that this is a false flag operation. Are you saying there isn't?

There is no proof one way or the other. It is one possibility that must be considered until it is eliminated. It makes just as much, or more, sense that it would be a false flag as that it would not be.

There's plenty of good reason for NASCAR to drive loads of negative attention their way needlessly and now an FBI investigation? Or are you suggesting it was Wallace himself (which makes even less sense)?

Either way, it's a load of crap.

Sure a possibility but the environment was created for this to occur.



Brehanna is the first black women to work in a NASCAR pit crew. She took this on her way into the track on race day.

Finally arrived here near the track in Talladega and some race fans are holding up traffic with their confederate flags. Not surprised by this. They’re obviously angry. pic.twitter.com/S6EVH2ZMKi

I'm not sure you understand the concept of false flag. Here:

"A false flag operation is an act committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on a second party.

So now you are saying it could have been someone that worked there just like the post you quoted but then disagreed with.

Answer the question. False flags generally have a reason behind them that will benefit somebody or something. What was the reason here?

The post I quoted suggested the incident was "staged" based on no evidence. It had nothing to do with whether it was somebody who worked there (which was and is always a possibility).

Just because some idiot actor wanted to elevate his career one time doesn't mean we assume every racist act going forward is somehow a false flag.

Can't see the video but there are plenty of misguided people who fly the confederate flag but if that's their freedom of expression then so be it. That's their right.

It’s not a Jussie situation. First off Bubba didn’t even find the noose, it was his team member and secondly drivers aren’t even allowed in garages

No but with the lack of access makes it more likely an inside job than just "some local redneck racist" kind of bullshit. Like I said critical thinking.

Did Talladega allow fans into their Talladega Garage Experience? If they did, it could have easily came from a fan with tickets to that. Surely they know exactly who bought those tickets if they did have that going.

I don't believe Bubba has the ability to climb to the top of the sport and maximize his platform. If someone wanted to make a bunch of people look bad and instantly give Bubba a bigger stage to spread his word, mission accomplished.

It's also possible that some racist wasn't smart enough to realize the results of his actions.
