No doubt you've heard by now about black NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace, who found a noose in his race car's garage.
Like the Jussie Smollett incident last year, the media is afraid to ask the tough questions, and instead everyone is defaulting to indignant moral outrage.
Among the questions one should consider:
1) How did the perpetrator get into the garage, and why didn't he appear on any security cameras around there?
2) Why would someone put a noose there? What did they expect it to accomplish?
3) Why haven't we seen a picture of the noose? (If there is one, please post it here.)
4) Bubba has been racing for 7 years. Why would someone choose now to do something like this? Wouldn't a racist who hates black people in NASCAR have done this when Bubba first started?
Of course, none of this is proof that it wasn't an act of racism, and admittedly the story isn't quite as ridiculous as Jussie's, which looked absurd from the very start.
Still, we can't just take it at face value. I think there's a greater chance that it's fabricated/misleading rather than an act of racism.

See the noose? Is that what Bubba Wallace found?
No, this was a rope hanging in a very similar garage to what Bubba uses, for purposes of pulling down the garage door. This pic was taken in 2017, and is actually a still shot from a TV special about NASCAR.
A pretty convincing case that the "noose" was actually this rope can be found here: https://theconservativetreehouse.com...ideo-evidence/
Yes, I'll concede that "theconservativetreehouse.com" isn't exactly a reputable source of unbiased journalism, but they lay out the case pretty well.
