NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt, Jr. opened up in a recent interview, discussing his strong opinions about the Confederate flag.
When topic was raised by reporters at the Sonoma Raceway on Friday, the 40-year-old stock car driver did not bite his tongue when supporting the need to remove it.
“I think it’s offensive to an entire race. It does nothing for anybody to be there flying, so I don’t see any reason.”
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. further identified the one place where he feels the Confederate flag belongs and should remain.
“It belongs in the history books and that’s about it.”
USA Today reports that Dale Earnhardt, Jr. agreed with NASCAR in regards to removing the Confederate flag from the grounds of the state capitol of South Carolina.
Follow the money.
This jackass is not a true southerner or else he would know that there still remain, family memories of lost estates, and young men who never returned from that rotten war. His father is turning over in his grave.
His father shared his view of the Confederate flag.
“Last time I checked the Constitution did not contain a right to not be offended.”
Some people pencil it in their copies.
Thanks TADSLOS.
I thought the real General Lee’s doors were welded shut? Poseurs! :)
Damn Junior. You just jumped your Daddy’s Shark.
You can’t drive anyway. 10 to 1 a girl beats you tomorrow.
” he’s in a no win Catch-22 “
You could have stopped at “no win” he’s not much of a driver
Not too smart Dale.
The scallywag will just collect his 30 pieces of silver from his masters.
I don’t really know, claims to be some Hollywood producer that is conservative, but comes across as someone with the mindset of King Kong, oh wait King Kong was more generous.
How about someone go ask the black people at the AME church where the murder happened. “Is the flag anti-black.” Betcha most if not all would answer NO.
And that’s really where the question needs to go. Let black people tell him personally whether the “flag is offensive to an entire race.” The more that say no, the more holes in his point of view.
The truth is that some take umbrage and others either do not care or have a positive sentiment about it.
The attack on the Confederate flag is an attack on the Southerners, most of whom are not even related to history’s slave owners.
Obama has done everything in his power to divide the country and the only solution now is dissolution.
88? You could get a job at CNN.
The media attacked the flag not the murderer.
They are only going after one thing, that flag.
His friends also said he listened to a lot of Opera.
Well, Opera could have been the catalyst, why not.
Hitler liked Opera, right.
Opera is played on NPR, a publicly funded entity.
Opera should be banned, taken off all NPR airwaves.
This makes as much sense.
This whole flag ‘outrage’ is Alinsky rule #12 & #6.
I say we apply Rule #5.
Common sense isn’t working anymore in this country.
‘88’ was talked about for barely a day and then dropped by the media. ‘88’ is supposedly some white supremacy number. I thought the media would go after Jr, make that team change their number, but they didn’t. They just picked that flag, froze it, personalized it, and polarized it.
An inanimate object is being identified as the murderer.
I think people still like it, it’s just an effect of the Obama economy.
