“That’s a damned lie! The war was over states’ rights”
Funny, I remember have discussions with black coworkers about all the whites that died to free slaves and if that was not enough in reparations. The response was always “they did not fight and die for slaves, the fought over states rights.” And yet the confederate flag represents slavery. How do you square that in your own mind? The north gets no credit for fighting to free slaves and yet the south is vilified for fighting for slavery.
Slavery is a horrible thing. Many groups have been slaves; Jews, Christians, Blacks,... But it ended over 150 years ago in America. No slaves are alive, no children of slaves are alive, no grand children, and I doubt any great grand children are alive. But some want to cling to it. Not sure why.
I never liked NASCAR. The cars go round and round and round and round and round. Real exciting. People just want to see the crashes. That’s why I like the demo derby.
For Community Outreach NASCAR can have their pit crews teach kids in the hood how to get your tires off faster.
LOL
well, since white is a color... they also are including white people in their “all people of color have suffering in our country...”
I hope fans and racers quit the sport on principle alone just like they did with NFLs kneeling debacle.
.........................................
BYE BYE, NASCAR!
Hubba hubba.
“Is that why George Floyd died at the hands (or knees) of a police officer?”
A YANKEE police officer at that.
Why doesnt NASCAR ban Democrats? They gave us the confederate flag, civil war, segregation, Ku Klux Klan, etc.???
Yep, look at that mass of people in line... To leave? Eh, who needs them, bunch of racists...which we wouldn't allow to attend the races anyway because of COVID.
The virtue signaling has companies and organizations tripping over themselves to out do everyone else in showing how progressive they are. Which of course begets more virtue signalling.
Can't wait for NASCAR to announce: ‘Please take a knee for the national anthem. Anyone standing will be escorted from the property.’
Nascar driver is quitting.
NASCAR fans quitting also.
And remember, last year I think, when NASCAR invited the President to be the featured guest at one of their big races? Daytona I think.
Banning this American flag is just another finger in the wind for this rudderless, leaderless, meaningless “stock car” enterprise.
They have no past. And they have no future.
i’m guessing this is out too...

Is that for real? If so, is it a flag, a poster, or a decal? If I could find a source for it, I’d buy a bunch and plaster them all over my neck of the woods!
Just another reason I will continue to not watch NASCAR.
War started in 1861. Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.
Rebel flag was the battle flag, not the flag of the Confederate States.
Giving in to the fundamental lie.

Absolutely correct.
This is full on surrender.
.............................
Absolutely correct.
It is black criminal culture that needs to change, not the country.
..........................
And absolutely correct again. A perfect trifecta!
This is a free speech issue and it is almost certain that someone will challenge this in court. In spite of all the BS, I for one still think the first amendment stands.
NASCAR stopped being NASCAR many years ago when it went to everyone has to be the same. NASCAR started with rum runner cars all hopping up their cars to compete.
Give me a redneck girl.
Now it's just glorified indistinguishable slot cars. Give me the the days of Olds Rockets, Hudson Hornets, Chrysler 300's etc.
