The writer of the
OP tweet-linked story lost me here:
Before NASCAR banned the Confederate flag and was immediately rocked by a noose impersonating a door pulldown in the garage of its only Black driver.
How many ways must it be proven that it was not a noose. That it did not even look like a noose. A nooze is a very specific think and a rather hard know to make. Meanwhile, a
surgeons loop knot is very easy to tie.. the loop is static.. it does not slip closed like a noose. It is very useful because loops are useful.. like in pulling down doors without having the rope run through your hand cutting or burning it.
That's ain't a noose. I suppose, overall, it is a good thing that people don't know what a noose looks like. But they should stop writing about it as an example after it has been totally debunked.
