Usually we have Archie for this kind of left wing stupidity but it's always good to have a stand in....unless you are Archie posting under a new name to get around those like me that have him on ignore. There is absolutely nothing racist about the meme and like all good comedy it has an element of truth. What bothers me and a lot of people is that Bubba Wallace, NASCAR and the media rushed to judgement on this without doing even a modicum of investigation. Had they spent 15 minutes asking around or looking they would have realized the truth and none of this would have happened. And the truth was out in no time on social media with people posting pictures of the garage door pull as far back as 2017 but it took 15 FBI agents to see what the alternate media found in 20 minutes. What is sad is their first instinct is to think the worst of people which says a lot about them and none of it good.
But as to Bubba himself, please don't tell me you don't think he played this for all it was worth. He is a mediocre NASCAR driver and this was his chance for 15 minutes of fame that he will never get on the racetrack and he took it. To me he looked like a whiney little b!tch on the View and cnnBS and when the truth came out he didn't apologize for immediately thinking the worst of people. Nope, he doubled down until he started getting some grief for trying to capitalize on what was a stupid error. So yes, he did participate in a hoax and he did rush to judgement and he did impugn his fellow drivers, crew, NASCAR and anyone that had access to the garages which is despicable.....but hey, we're talking about him and no one even knew who he was before now so he's got that going for him. And yes, he played the race card for all it was worth. And no, it isn't even remotely racist to call him out for it.
