Should critics back off of Bubba Wallace, now that the "noose" was found not to be a hate crime directed towards him? Was it an honest mistake on his part?
There is no “honest mistake on his part”. Bubba Wallace isn’t responsible for the noose thing. This is what happened:

A Richard Petty Motorsports crewman found the noose and notified Wallace crew chief Jerry Baxter, who took a photo of the noose before it was cut down.
NASCAR called the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Monday, and 15 agents went to the track to talk to crew members prior to the race, which had been postponed from Sunday because of rain. The FBI announced Tuesday that the investigation determined the noose was in the stall as early as October 2019.
Do you see Bubba Wallace’s name at any of the key steps in that process?
He didn’t find it. He didn’t take the photo to report it. He didn’t call the investigators, and he didn’t investigate it.
Bubba Wallace did not make any mistakes, because Bubba Wallace wasn’t even involved. He was just the guy in whose garage the thing was found.
And when it comes to the crew who did the whole thign? This wasn’t an overreaction, not even a little bit.
Is it a pull rope? Yeah. It’s a pull rope tied like a noose. |
