    Quote them saying it was done to make it easier to pull the garage door down when no other garage did the same knot.

    If you are around like minded folks who think like you probably nothing, but some white folks and minorities find it offensive.

    He wants you to believe that it was the only door on the whole complex that needed a noose to be able to close it.

    Try again

    What would no be OK or wrong about it if I do out to my garage and take that piece of rope and tie a loop or even a noose in it? What would be offensive about it they are common knots.

    What do you want me to believe and based on what facts? Again prove it was done for some nefarious reason as in a racial attack. What is the basis of your claim that if one door was hard to pull down then others had to be hard to pull down, why is that some given? If my neighbors garage door is hard to pull down does that necessarily mean other doors on my street are also hard to pull down, where do you derive that logic?

    So you can't cite anyone claiming it was done because it would be "funny".

    Not racial, not aimed at Wallace, a loop in a door pull. What's funny about it and who said it was done to be funny?

    You claimed a good ole boy thought it would be funny and then personally attacked him so you MUST had a specific person in mind and know information the rest of us don't, so show it to me.

    You said a good ole boy simply tied a knot to make it easier to pull the garage door down. Show me a link showing that good ole boy admitted that's why he tied that noose....err knot that way back in 2019.

    Not racial, not aimed at Wallace, used to pull down the door. Who said it was done just to be funny?

    Why are you so obsessed with this knowing it was purely innocuous and NASCAR and Wallace wrongly claimed it was racial?

    How many times do I have to tell you that I agree it wasn't aimed at Wallace. You just can't let that one go for some reason.

    Wallace didn't bring it to the FBI. NASCAR did.

    The only ones obsessing over it are Trump and his supporters.

    Nope, they say it was not put there as a racial attack on anyone it was just a door pull. So who said they did it as a joke?
