Bubba Wallace noose incident

I found this interesting, but didn't want to comment until the full story came out. Look on the bright side, at least it's not a Jussie Smollett situation.

As heartwarming as the sight of NASCAR drivers and crews pushing Bubba Wallace onto the track after a noose was found in his stall was, his mother said auto racing hasn’t always been so welcoming.

“This is not his first incident,” Desiree Wallace said Monday on SiriusXM’s “Joe Madison Show.”

She learned of the incident Sunday when her son told her in a FaceTime conversation, “There’s been a hate crime against me.” She grew concerned because of what she said was a defeated look on his face.

“I said, ‘Look, that was an act of fear.’ I said, ‘They’re more afraid of you than you are of them.’ I said, ‘It was a cowardly act,’” she said. “I said, ‘And, at the end of the day, you don’t allow them to strip away your character or your integrity.’ I said: ‘You go out there tomorrow and you kick some butt. That’s what you do.’ ”

So it wasn't a noose left in the garage, it was the garage door pull rope which had been tied in that way since at least October last year. Many other drivers must have used that garage as well without seeing it as a "threat". 

Is this another example of conditioning minorities to see transgressions when none exist? Thoughts?
