Genocide against the South.

Yup.....just across the road from the old shop....the pit crew and the shop guys.

If they want to hurt NASCAR, they should lobby DumbO to make NASCAR race Priuses.

WTG NAACP. If the blacks boycott NASCAR, NASCAR will lose about one person in the stands and about ten viewers on television. The NAACP always attacks the Confederate heritage when they get low on funds or has one of their members committing some crime. I’d get ready for some news on embezzlement or another bevy of women associated with the NAACP pregnant by the NAACP’s male Clergy.

Yes, the new GA flag is more confederate (especially when they tacked on the stars at the last minute), which I’ve always found ironic. But it was a good compromise. Those that wanted a flag to honor confederate history sitll have it.

I can’t tell you though, how many people I talked to that were angry GA was changing the flag and “no longer honoring our confederate heritage.” Having no idea the new flag was also a “confedreate flag”. Makes you wonder just how much they really cared about confederate history if they couldn’t even recognize a confederate flag right in front of their face.

"The cross of St Andrew stands for FREEDOM, especially from oppressive government and is prominently displayed on the Flag of the Confederate States of America."

Exactly right. Re-education is the goal.

St Andrew's cross = bad.

States rights = bad

War is Peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is Strength.

NASCAR cares more about PC and money now than racing.

They want Je$$e Jack$on money.

That’s like Mr. Rogers boycotting Amsterdam’s Red Light District.

NAACP is late to the party as the Reverend Jesse Jackass has already milked this mule...

I doubt that anyone knows or cares that Joe Gibbs has been married to a full blooded Mexican for over 40 years.

He has also teamed up with Reggie White and others to try to include minorities in the sport.

Do they say “yaal”?

[chesley]

NASCAR can ill afford the negative publicity that would accompany an NAACP protest.

What I wonder is, can NASCAR afford the negative publicity that would accompany them knuckling under to the racist NAACP?

[Skooz]

The NAACP is running out of things to whine about.

[SouthTexas]

and to stage protests during the races.

At least we won't have to listen to them.:)

[TexasRepublic]

Let them boycott — it’s a free country (for now).

I ain’t watchin another NASCAR race till they’ve got a crippled lesbian eskimo racin an ethanol powered Prius, sponsored by Sierra Club!
