澳彩开奖 Statement on Noose Found in Bubba Wallace鈥檚 Garage at Talladega Superspeedway
MONTGOMERY, Ala. 鈥� The 澳彩开奖鈥檚 Lecia Brooks issued the following statement after a noose was found in Bubba Wallace鈥檚 garage stall at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.听

鈥淚t is extremely troubling, yet sadly expected, that someone would hang a noose 鈥� the ultimate symbol of white supremacist violence used to murder Black people 鈥� in the stall of the only Black driver on the NASCAR circuit. This act of retaliation to NASCAR鈥檚 recent announcement to ban Confederate flags at its speedways will not deter the movement to reject and remove symbols intended to intimidate Black people and reassert white supremacy.

鈥淲e hope that NASCAR will continue to cooperate and exhibit transparency with respect to the investigations the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation have launched to determine and hold responsible those who committed this heinous act of racism.鈥�
