Bubba Wallace, the only African American in the top-level Cup series, expressed frustration that so many drivers were reluctant to speak out.

“A few drivers — a very few — have given their opinion on the day’s matter and I appreciate that,” Wallace said on Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s podcast. “But the silence from the top drivers in our sport is beyond frustrating. ...

““But the silence from the top drivers in our sport is beyond frustrating.”

So just keeping your opinion to yourself is unacceptable? If you don’t “speak out” your the enemy and if you don’t say the right thing then your the enemy...got it.

These drivers know if they openly say they disagree with what’s going on there’s no telling what kind of trouble they’d get into including being ostracized.

FU “Bubba”

Where were you “speaking out” when your fellow black bro Kori Ali MUHAMMAD was randomly killing four white men?

So sick of this racist hypocrisy. Both the cop and Floyd were bad man we’re going to have a national emergency over those two pieces of s***?

“to a driver losing his job just this season for casually uttering a racial slur”

Listen to a little rap music jackals. It’ll take about 10 seconds to hear nasty language. Not to mention demeaning women, promoting cop killing and the obligatory hate Whitey.

Tribalism trumps all, yet again.

I think the intent of the article is to get start the process of shutting down NASCAR, by a combination of them not taking a knee (and losing about half of their followers) and by rioting at their events.

That’s usually how Brownshirts work.

If whites are a much smaller percentage of the NBA does that make the NBA racist?

Didn’t know of Bubba Watson, and wish him a successful career in racing. If Bubba is the only black racer, I don’t have a knee jerk reaction to label it racism.

Anyway, I’m off to go wrench on my son’s car. I won’t have rap music playing in the background, hopefully that too doesn’t make me a racist.

These idiots again pushed the BLM narrative that we have to all be ashamed and are evil.

Screw them. While they obediently keep up their COVID nonsense by
Ecturing us from their iPhones.

I never thought I would see the day when NASCAR would take a stand against America and in sympathy with anarchists.
