Bubba Wallace and Jussie Smollett must have gotten together to plan on impeding race-relations in this country. How else do you explain it?
It’s a coup d’état and anybody who has been paying attention should be smart enough to figure out what’s going on here. Not only are they working to vilify President Trump in every way imaginable, but they are also definitively opportunists.
But NASCAR fans just sent a loud message to Bubba Wallace.
Jussie Smollett set back race relations decades when he allegedly lied to the world that he was beat up by MAGA-hat wearing Trump supporters. Smollett is still going through the legal process – only after judges were irate that he was let off so easily – and his situation is looking more and more grim as it gets closer to a verdict.
You would think that would be a lesson for everybody, but apparently not.
Bubba Wallace took a page out of the “Smollett Handbook: How to Divide America Even Further” and claimed that he found a noose in his garage. Instead of thinking rationally that it was just a pull-down handle for his garage door, he panicked and decried it to be a hate crime.
The FBI conducted its investigation and concluded that not only was it just a door handle for the garage door and that it had been like that since last year, but it was also made to look like that in nearly a dozen other garages at the Talladega Speedway.
All of this is a mess and you can point to NASCAR and Bubba Wallace as the people directly responsible for the chaos the sport has right now.
And the sport’s fans had a loud message to send to Wallace.
When Wallace was introduced at NASCAR’s Cup Series All-Star Race at Bristol, Tennessee last week, the crowd booed the infamous driver. Not only that, but apparently there were Confederate flags visible in and around the raceway in clear defiance of NASCAR’s new rule to ban them.
Here’s a video of Wallace being booed:

Associated Press writer Jenna Fryer also noted the booing when they announced Wallace, but then also claimed that when Wallace was in a car wreck – where no one was injured – NASCAR fans cheered.
FWIW, in addition to Confederate flag flying over Bristol there was another hanging off a balcony of a condo across from the main entrance as well as others along Speedway Blvd. Spoke to fan @Matt2Harrison and he said he say many flags on shirts and other items in stands.

Bubba Wallace was also booed when he was introduced, and many cheered when he crashed. NASCAR still has a lot of work to do to back up its position. The group Justice 4 Diversity held signs along Speedway Blvd. after the race.

So there isn’t confusion, it’s impossible to presume why the NASCAR fans were booing but it stands to reason that it has more to do with his harsh characterization of its fan base as dubious when it came to his outrageous claim.
But Wallace also mocked a fellow NASCAR driver’s Christianity, Michael McDowell, at the same race too when he inadvertently caused an accident, sending Wallace into the wall at the qualifying race.
Not only did Wallace take off his bumper and drop it at the hauler door of McDowell’s garage.
Afterwards, Wallace said of McDowell: “People say he’s one of the nicest guys in the garage, can’t wait for the God-fearing text that he’s going to send me about preaching and praise and respect. What a joke he is.”
Is Wallace confused about the sport he drives in? These kinds of things happen all the time. If you can’t handle that then maybe you shouldn’t race.
