Casting the Racists out of Nascar

[TC Talks]

It seems that Alabama has a racist. Fortunately there were video cameras all over the place and limited access. I am sure all you posters busy posting about other incidents are outraged, right?

Days after the only black driver in NASCAR’s top racing series sported a “Black Lives Matter” message and celebrated the organization’s banning of the Confederate battle flag, a noose was found on Sunday in his garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, officials said.

“Today’s despicable act of racism and hatred leaves me incredibly saddened and serves as a painful reminder of how much further we have to go as a society and how persistent we must be in the fight against racism,” the driver, Darrell Wallace Jr., who is known as Bubba, said in a statement on Sunday evening.

It’s too bad somebody felt the need to do that and they could use to be talked to and have it made clear that won’t fly in 2020.

What exactly are we going to do with all the racists we are drubbing out of daily life? Some of these people are having their lives ruined.... that may be fine to you but it’s not cool to just do that and walk away... get off your high horse progressive ass and help to reform them... but like everything else that we see you do that’s too much to ask because... reasons. We can’t even get you to cite your sources.

PUH-LEEZ! They need to be "talked to"?!? A guy who is so brazen to put a noose in an area that certainly was secured with cameras, can be counseled out of his hate?

Stranger things have happened... what do you suggest... burn him at the stake? Chain the person to the park bench and make them panhandle for life? At some point they have to be brought along... you can’t just destroy them and then walk away... that’s no better than them hanging the noose... We can’t go down to their level and completely erase them from society like they would erase the people they target. We have to be bigger than them.

The mayor of Ypsi is a good example... she made what appears to be an extremely ham fisted remark calling herself out for being a racist and not progressive enough and now they want her head on a pike. The thought police can be a dangerous thing... so she’ll have to resign for one comment... about 8 or 9 words. Nevermind whatever good she might have done for the town or anything...

Can we just cast out nascar?

It would be far more watchable at 10 laps with battering rams on all sides so they had to crash to gain the edge.

There are stupid acts, and there is hate. Michael Richards was an idiot when he went on that n-word rant. And he paid the price...his career essentially was over. But from everything I have read and heard, the guy is far from a racist at all. Certain things you cannot change. You think trollinlife will EVER believe in a woman's right to choose?!? Its part of certains peoples fiber. These southern fucks are taught to hate blacks before they can walk and they are too stupid to think for themselves. So if they were erased from society, honestly I could care less.

Trust me I get it... but it’ll take generations to root it out... baby boomers, Gen Xers and those that are older dying off would be a starting point. If you are a normal human being in those groups please forgive the expression... there do seem to be an inordinate number of older racists...

Anybody else think Jusse Smollett or his accomplices might be involved in this one? Perhaps someone from the marketing department??

Will anybody be surprised when "all the racists" are kicked out of NASCAR and it amounts to only 1 or 2 percent?

I think you are just a more positive...or maybe naive..person than I, RT. When we elected Obama, I actually thought the country had turned a corner. I truly never thought I'd see a black president in my lifetime. And the hatred got worse. So much so that we elected a pile of human garbage to the White House. And still, a third of this country (and a majority of the idiots on this board) love him. So excuse me if I don't think we can all come together in some sort of kumbaya togetherness chat and talk it all out. They are not gonna change, so fuck 'em.

It's hard to believe someone would go thru the trouble to hang a noose in his garage. There must have been a lot of ignorance and hate in their heart to do that. It was one helluva race today in Talledega and very nice thing the drivers and teams did pushing Bubba out to the front of the pack before the race. Quite a picture of Support~ One heck of a photo finish at the end. Bubba Wallace was near the top at times, finishing 14th at the end.

[Bryce]

And the hatred got worse.

And in all honesty, Obama himself is responsible for some of that.

I can't really comment on NASCAR much. Never been to one and haven't watched more than 5 minutes in TV. Just does nothing for me. I do hear people say many of the fans are red necks. From the people I see wearing the t shirts, I'm inclined to agree.

Gee, does that make me some kind of "ist"?

I've been to many races at MIS. Yeah you get some "rednecks" out there but much of that is a sterotype at least in Michigan it is. You get more of that stuff down South. The races I've been to, most of the fans are friendly and cordial, just want to have a good time. I've never had a bad experience. There's a lot of stereotypes- many people could not guess that I'm a professional when I'm in my "street gear" at one of these events. I behave myself but dress down to enjoy, as I enjoy my relaxation time. I don't think it makes you "ist" just your perception, always keep an open mind. I would attend a race at least once if you had some interest, but yeah so many times going around in a circle with virtually no action/ wrecks is quite boring. The race today while hardly any wrecks was back and forth and a great finish at the end. Good hard racing to the end and nice support for the #43 Bubba Walace and owner Kyle "the King" Petty.

I’ve been accused of being an optimist more than once...

You come across - level headed. Might not always agree but I can respect your opinion if that means anything.
