Tenchu's Thoughts: Going Full Retard

This clinches it. Our nation has gone full retard:



First, the news from ESPN regarding that "noose" found in Bubba Wallace's garage:

FBI says rope had been in Talladega garage since October; Bubba Wallace not victim of hate crime

Turns out the "noose" was just a rope used to pull the garage down down.

No apology from Bubba Wallace for needlessly alarming the nation. No apology from the BLM movement for creating such an atmosphere of fear that even something as innocuous as a rope hanging from a garage door can be seen as a "racist statement."

Even ESPN hasn't edited this tweet. They're still claiming that "bullies" were responsible for putting up that "noose":



Let's not forget about the "nooses" in Merritt Park in Oakland, which turned out to be exercise equipment:



Even that fact didn't stop the mayor of Oakland from expressing righteous indignation:
Reports that these were part of exercise equipment do not remove nor excuse their tortuous and terrorizing effects. We are all responsible for knowing the history and present-day reality of lynchings, hate crimes and racial violence. Objects that invoke such terror will not be tolerated in Oakland’s public spaces.
I remember the old Eddie Murphy movie, Boomerang, where the character played by Martin Lawrence saw racism in just about everything, including a game of billiards. "The white ball dominates everything. It knocks the s--t out of the yellow ball, the red ball, right? And the game's over when the white ball drives the black ball completely off the table!"



That was meant to be comedy, not a prediction of the future!

Yes, American society has gone full retard. And I guarantee you that no other society, except maybe Canada, suffers from this nonsense. Not even in Europe.
