NASCAR Bans Confederate Flag at Racetracks

[NFLTrends]

100 years ago I would’ve agreed. When the Democratic Party was really the Republican Party. I would’ve, absolutely.

What has the Republican party from 100 years ago till now, done to become "racists"?

Is this a big deal to that audience?

Likely not very big, as NASCAR appears to be a pretty smart business operation, thus making this edict a well-calculated and sensible move

I’m sure everyone mad about NASCAR not flying the confederate flag is also mad they don’t give a trophy to the drivers who lose

Kids that have flags really do not know the history of it. It’s just cool to them

as I saw the story of items being removed from Univ of Ala I called one of my friends that played football there under Bear and asked him about.
Said I never thought about those as I passed them or thought anything about slavery and my son sure as hell had no idea when he went there

The military isn't honored by bases named for men who fought AGAINST America, especially black members of the military living and training under the names of men who fought to keep them in chains. Trump will always put Confederate feelings over black lives. https://t.co/nLLWiCiqK2

As Americans unify behind the theme of Black Lives Matter the president is doubling down on defending the Confederacy

I am a 37 year native of Texas and proudly cheer their various state symbols

That's because Texas (aside from their fringe geographic allegiance to the CSA) did not attempt to overthrow the government of The United States and did not as a body fight to defend slavery

But can we at least agree that Rome's Colosseum has got to be demo'd?

We need to burn this country to the ground - start over to appease the least accomplished - erase all of out history

No shit

On a sidebar, nice to see Mob and Barbanman both think this stuff matters, brilliance at work

You think US citizens should take down their USMC flags from their homes? Or military emblems from their coffee mugs?
This shit is getting out of hand...really don’t think Confederate Flags is an issue at NASCAR events....at a Klan rally is a different animal...

They took the head off the Columbus statue in the North End of Boston last night. What I don't understand is how do you even do that without the cops noticing? This isn't something you could do in 20 seconds, it would take a good 5-10 minutes with the proper equipment to do it.

What the hell is this guy talking about. Nascar fans are probably least appreciative of Obama's everyone wins a trophy mentality

Washington is 100% coming off the $1 the day Trump is not President - 10% of this country despises the US and want's all of our history vanished - just inch by inch - well this past 10 days or so they are doing it mile by mile

Do the police still carry weapons in Boston?

When your money thin your rep is fumbling, here come my Curry spin. Dragon in comparison.

I am Texan, not Italian. No agreement, no opinion re Italian justice

Start northwest of our state border. I love Florida

I confess not knowing (well) anyone who is a NASCAR fan so I can only rate her humor based on her solid track record

Did any factions of the USMC ever launch a combative attempt to overthrow the United States of America?
