  1. Lolz at the people shrugging, as if to say, "well it still fits our narrative.  It was close enough  to a hate crime.   I imagined really hard about them being that racist anyways, so it still works."

     

    Who's more disappointed today that the noose wasn't legit?  Racist motherfuckers or the SJW crowd?

    I broke my fifth metatarsal.   Shockingly excruciating.  Way worse than tearing my knee or ac joint in my shoulder or anything else that I can remember

     

    I broke mine and worked 2 more days.

    3rd day I couldn’t fucking walk. LOLz.

    Houston is indeed full of front running fans, but there are plenty of familiar names on this 78 page non-bandwagoner thread:

    http://www.shaggytexas.com/board/showthread.php/104328-Official-2012-Houston-Astros-Thread?s=002de9309827bb8445c616cde55eb5e7

    First rattle out of the box in that thread, the suggestion is made to demote Altuve and season him more.   LOLz.   Not a shot at the poster, as who the fuck knows?   It's just funny in hindsight.

    The observations and prognostications are incredibly entertaining in the thread.

  4. back spasms. One time was so bad that I rode to the hospital in the back seat in the floor board on all fours because that's the only position that didn't light me up.  

    Can't breathe. Can't get dressed/ undressed without help. Can't fucking move without feeling like a high voltage cable is plugged into your back.. Hurts bad enough to cry even though I still try not to give a fuck.  Lots of profanity involved...

    Luckily, I've learned to manage it through exercise/ stretches and have not had episodes in multiple years now.  It is truly debilitating and makes you wish for death.

    And there it is.  That's how you completely dismiss an entire movement and an entire class of people, and it's why nothing will ever fucking change for the better.

    Seeking to fix centuries of systematic racism?  Nah, just a bunch of asshole greedheads.  Fuck 'em.

    sorry, but looting, toppling statues, and Chaz exercises don't appear to be people seeking solutions.

     

    and no, for me it isn't a race issue.   It's about equality and justice.   Fix those things and the rest takes care of itself. IDGAF if we all like each other.   We should expect the same treatment under the law.

    yes, I know your solutions and mine likely differ tremendously.  Don't care.  Sit down and talk about it.  Stop acting as if the world's gonna end.

     

    Like I said, after our society gets done throwing its fit, the work's still gonna be there looking both of us in the face.

    Generally speaking turn left and punch it fans are rednecks. I personally don't get the the sport but whatever.

    Maybe one Friday night a guy made the pull in to a noose. No idea.

    But I guarantee you that wouldn't happen in 2020. Bad form.

    I'm not a fan.   I pulled for Jeff Gordon during his time and enjoyed the way drivers used to have some rivalry.  i grew up when Indy cars were very popular in the US and liked AJ Foyt and the Unsers.    Now it's all polish and commercialization...and boring as fuck.

    IDGAF save for the social statements that have been indelibly made in the past few days.

    Do you want this to be true on the noose? I hope not. Seems like it. I have researched very little. Said it was there in 2019. If you or me tie a garage pull into a noose knot does that make us a racist? I wouldn't think so, maybe it was the crew in that bay last year telling whoever the driver was to kill himself in jest for driving bad? Who TF knows man.

    Of course not.  I think it was a product of necessity that the rope was made into a loop to make pulling the door down easier.

     

    My post was more related to the ensuing hysteria and cliche shots at the NASCAR fans.

    I noted the extreme.....but there are varying degrees of that thinking in the dominant/governing class.  Collectively denying that anything is wrong when it comes to race and policing has been our thing for a long time.  And we really aren't ready to abandon that thinking.  Even the more subtle versions of it.

    Meh.

    There's plenty of victimology within the non-dominant class, as well, whether or not they have actually been victimized.

    We can do this all day...pointing the finger.

     

    Bottom line is folks are seeking to get theirs.   This isn't about equality or justice.  That's just the excuse.

    We can't even admit that there's anything wrong.  Slavery is over, black people are equal, don't know what they're bitching about, the flag is for heritage, not hate, etc.  Trust ain't even on the table.

    you listening to white people that even white people make fun of...  and then saying they represent everyone.

    You know that isn't remotely true.

    Yeah, I mean, we all know that a real threat is [checks Next Door] a brown or black person walking in the neighborhood.

    It was either a vast NASCAR conspiracy to characterize a jury-rigged door handle as a noose, or someone saw it, thought it looked like a noose, and none of the track officials could say that it had been there for some time.  Occam's razor, dude.

    the folks throwing outrage sure don't get off that easy.  Plenty of (what they thought were) easy shots were thrown.

     

    Again, it's hardly limited to this incident.   People need to wake the fuck up and be gotdam human.   Yes, we have serious work to do with regard to equality and justice.   Finding a threat in every damned thing in society isn't where we correct it.  There's a good order of both humility and courage required of folks wanting to solve this.

    It seems to be the farthest thing from anyone's mind right now.  Our country is a 4  year old throwing a fit on the floor.   We need a glass of water in the face in the worst way.  After we tear all of this shit up, the work is still going to be there waiting for us.  Will we trust one another?

    Not a chance in hell, the way things are going.

    Beats me.  But if it was so obvious what it was, then any track official could have just said when it was reported to him "guys....that's the door handle.  It's been there forever," right at the outset.  I note that the half a dozen posts above mine attribute sinister/chickenshit motives to literally every track and NASCAR official.  Occam's razor tells me that it seemed unfamiliar and out of place, and nobody at the track could really recall whether it was there before or not.

    It's easy to see how they got caught up in it.

    Hell a week ago, it was just a statue of Ulysses S. Grant.   Now it's a threat.
