[h=1]North Carolina racetrack owner offers 'Bubba Rope' for sale[/h]
https://www.espn.com/racing/nascar/...rolina-racetrack-owner-offers-bubba-rope-sale

The owner of a North Carolina racetrack advertised "Bubba Rope" for sale in a social media marketplace days after NASCAR announced a noose had been found in the garage of driver Bubba Wallace, who is Black, at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.
Mike Fulp, the owner of the half-mile 311 Speedway in Stokes County, made the pitch Wednesday on Facebook Marketplace: "Buy your Bubba Rope today for only $9.99 each, they come with a lifetime warranty and work great."

A Facebook post on Fulp's page Monday announced the speedway is sponsoring a "Heritage Night" on Saturday. A subsequent post on the event encouraged fans to purchase a variety of items, including Confederate flags and caps, and added, "don't forget your 2nd Amendment Right, 311 Speedway."
 
Remember when I was saying the rioters should leave downtown Raleigh (where we overwhelmingly agree with the cause) alone and go riot where the enemy of progress is located? Here’s a great opportunity.

Still a dumb take.
 
If you think it’s dumb to criticize destruction of businesses owned by outspoken liberal leaders who support the cause, look inward.

If you think people who are trying to protest the power of the state shouldn’t protest in the seat of power of the state, that’s dumb.
 
I didn’t say don’t protest here, I said don’t loot and destroy here.

They really shouldn't destroy and loot anywhere. This kind of sounds like a "He's not hurting the right people" kind of comment.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. Go hurt the right people. Like the ones who sell Bubba rope.

they were seeking their salvation in the most obvious way, the destruction of what they knew was the cause of their sufferings; and if they destroyed much it was because they had suffered much.

Loeffler is an owner of the Atlanta Dream. I'll give you one guess what famous Atlanta based dreamer inspired that name.
 
 
“Cancel culture” is just the latest phrase du jour the conservative simpletons have adopted to generally describe someone who holds beliefs they disagree with. Previously holding this mantle (the long reigning) “socialism” and “political correctness”.

It is a tale.
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury.
Signifying morning.
