There is a bunch of hate in the United States and the below story is why people are trying to get things to change.
Earlier this month, NASCAR said it is banning the flying of Confederate flags at its races after it was pushed to do so by Bubba Wallace and also because of the death of George Floyd and ongoing racial justice protests.
After that, Wallace ran an all-black vehicle specially outfitted with a #BlackLivesMatter hashtag emblazoned on the car’s quarter panel for last week’s race in Ridgeway, Virginia.
Then came a person that allegedly put a noose in his garage stall this past Sunday. That has since been debunked.
Dustin Skinner, the son of former NASCAR driver Mike Skinner, is clearly a person who wanted to send a message to Bubba, and he did so in the form of a Facebook comment.
Dustin not only applauded the person for leaving the noose, but also stated that Bubba should’ve been put in it and dragged around in the pits for ruining NASCAR.
“Frankly I wish they would’ve tied [the noose] to [Wallace] and drug him around the pits because he has single-handedly destroyed what I grew up watching and cared about for 30 years now.”

Dustin’s father, Mike Skinner, did not agree with anything his son said:
“I am devastated by what he said and have spoken with him regarding his comments,” “While I do not believe in airing family grievances on social media, I feel strongly that it is important I publicly state that his comments do not reflect the opinions of Angie or me, and we apologize to any fans and industry personnel who were hurt because of his comments.”
Dustin would soon apologize for his words, but made sure to point out that he does not agree with Bubba Wallace and what he is doing within the sport.
“I love everyone this was not about race at all,” “I disagree with what [Wallace] is doing, but it was stupidly foolish for me to say what I said and I truly regret every bit of it. If there was a way to take last night back I would. All I can do is say I’m sorry. I love everyone and wish the world to pull back together and us all find a positive way to agree or disagree.”
