The disconnect is that WO403 thinks that Bubba Wallace's continued insistence on focusing on the fact that the knot is (or looks like) a noose is an attempt to continue arguing that this is a racial issue. In fact, I think he's just saying, "look, it's a noose. My reaction made sense, because I found a noose in my garage. I now understand that it wasn't some symbolic racist gesture that was aimed at me, but I'm not crazy and I wasn't making things up. My reaction at the time was totally understandable, so get all the way off my back about this." Which I think is right - I would probably have jumped to the same conclusion in his shoes.
