Not wanting your history, culture, nations, and religion done away with is now "supremacy" - got it, Mr. water carrier for the Fortune 500.

Very astute retort.

The people like Jemele Hill who said, and I quote, that the Bubba Wallace incident was 'a painful reminder of just how much people are invested in maintaining racist institutions' and said it is a reminder of who the sport is for. That is who should apologize. Was I personally offended by that? No, because I'm not a NASCAR fan. Can I understand how NASCAR fans could be offended by that kind of a picture painted of them? Absolutely.
And yes, I can guarantee some people like her were, deep down, actually disappointed it proved to not be true. That is pretty clearly the case, since they can't let it go even now.
I do support those fighting for the end of racism. I join that fight. Jumping onto incidents like this and riding them into the ground despite all evidence is counterproductive and actually serves to hurt that fight. That is my point. I believe it was handled correctly by pretty much everyone (except those making broader generalizations) up until the point at which it was proven to not be true. Once that happened, those backing away got it right. Those continuing to try to shape this into something worth discussing are now handling it incorrectly.
I agree with you that the fact that just about everybody agrees a purposeful noose inside someone's stall is disgusting and not tolerated is a positive thing. Some people want you to believe that many people don't think that's disgusting, and those are the people still riding this. That is not a positive thing.
Pretty much any 007/Rex comment...

For the record, I'm not with Rex. There is a point at the bottom of what he is saying specifically about the Bubba Wallace incident, but then he piles a bunch of crap I don't agree with on top of that point and goes way overboard. He would be one of the 20% I was talking about in the other direction.
"Way overboard" = way truthful. As the nation plunges leftward staying always in the "middle" just keeps you moving left too. Our society is a joke. The media uses lies about police brutality and "racism" being a widespread phenomenon and defend the rioting, looting, and violence that follows. Statues of founding fathers are being toppled daily. We're witnessing the destruction of our civilization and you people are too scared to point it out. Well, I'll say it. The king has no clothes. Racism is almost nonexistent in America. The interracial violent crime stats are so disproportionate it's almost comical and yet nobody talks about that. The Fortune 500 has more power than the Soviet politburo ever dreamed of and is turning the world crazy in hopes of breaking all relationship with the past, with community, with nationhood, with religion with collective group interests to line their pockets.
I think something that has to be placed into context with this incident is that NASCAR was already at DEFCON 1 because they had just banned the Battle Flag from events - and the first event would be at that bastion of rednecks known as Dega. And if you have ever been to a race at Dega, you know - it's redneck spectacle beyond compare. They had already had to kick people out with the flag, and I am sure they were expecting the worst. So, when you have something like this pop up in the middle of everything else- NASCAR over-reacting doesn't seem that out of line.
She should apologize that this one instance was not a reminder of just how much people are invested in maintaining racist institutions. Then she should point at the fans that paid for the gigantic rebel flag sign pulled by the airplane around the course last week, and the people bitching about the rebel flag ban. Either way, she should apologize. Her example was the wrong one to use. At least my two examples have nothing to do with NASCAR proper. Which is awesome that NASCAR is doing their duty and trying to squash that kind of crap.
Like I said...

What was the goal of this thread?
The good thing is, those people are not all that common and at this point have essentially no power, which is why they're ok doing it in the first place.
Historical racism has left a legacy that we still fight today, and should fight. And there are certainly still racists and people with serious prejudice. Luckily, in most instances, those people aren't in any position to actually use that prejudice to severely harm another group of people. We still have the effects of historical racism to continue to correct, sure. But blatant outward racism? Not really.
Using incidents like this to try to show that we do, which is what some people were quick to do, is not good and serves only themselves.
Not true. I was a fan for years and had just started watching again. Bubba is one of the drivers I picked to cheer for this year. Here?s the thing though. Her comments did NOT offend me at all. I immediately labeled her as a dubmass racist when I heard her ignorance. I laughed at her. I didn?t pile in the corner and cry or go start burning shit and destroying property. That?s just me though.
You're the one that finds racism in your cereal and the clouds. The fact is that white racism is almost nonexistent in America. Racism is on full display though with these hoaxes, and they are numerous, against white people to achieve political and monetary goals of the elite by driving division and victimhood mindsets.
The economy should serve the people, the people do not exist to serve the economy. I'm highly flexible as to what will be needed at any time to achieve that. The banks and mega corporations have more power and control over culture and society now than any government. They do not have the right to dictate civilization. Huey Long would have made a great President.
That's not an economic system. That's pixies and fairy dust.
A complete free market leads to banks and mega corps running everything.
A complete State controlled economy leads to Communism.
You say you hate both.
Economies are either capitalist ( free market) or Socialist ( Command Economy) or like reality, somewhere in between. You have rejected both systems, which leaves nothing...
You hate communism and say Huey Long have made a great president????. Huey Long was so far left he made FDR look like Ronald Reagan. Long was left of Bernie and AOC....
Share Our Wealth was a movement that began in February 1934, during the Great Depression, by Huey Long,
And you call me a communist....Quote:
The key planks of the Share Our Wealth platform included:
No person would be allowed to accumulate a personal net worth of more than 300 times the average family fortune.
A graduated capital levy tax would be assessed on all persons with a net worth exceeding $1 million.[1]
Annual incomes would be limited to $1 million and inheritances would be capped at $5.1 million.[1]
Every family was to be furnished with a homestead allowance of not less than one-third the average family wealth of the country.
Every family was to be guaranteed an annual family income of at least $2,000 to $2,500, or not less than one-third of the average annual family income in the United States. Yearly income, however, cannot exceed more than 300 times the size of the average family income.[1]
An old-age pension would be made available for all persons over 60.[1]
To balance agricultural production, the government would preserve/store surplus goods, abolishing the practice of destroying surplus food and other necessities due to lack of purchasing power.[1]
Veterans would be paid a pension and healthcare benefits.[1]
Free education and training for all students to have equal opportunities in all schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions for training in the professions and vocations of life.[1]
The raising of revenue and taxes for the support of this program was to come from the reduction of swollen fortunes from the top, as well as for the support of public works to give employment whenever there may be any slackening necessary in private enterprise.[1]
You forgot this for Rex.....

Sure is easy being a smarmy smug low-t douchebag right now but just remember in totalitarian systems having the system approved opinions doesn't guarantee anything. They'll come after you in an instant, like all those good liberal "Karen's" lately. "Racism" is a weapon to displace white nations and people from their cultures, history, traditions, etc. All to push a global multicultural market, importing the third world and giving them purchasing power.
Demographics don't lie. Interracial violent crime stats don't lie, they'll just start to go unreported once you get your wish and abolish the police. Look at the Rotherham grooming scandal in England where thousands of young girls were groomed and nobody spoke up out of fear of being called racist. Within the last couple weeks in America there have been numerous stories of family members losing jobs because someone else said something deemed "insensitive". We all can see what's happening in our country and the West at large and your smug bullshit changes none of it.
Rex is correct though in that people similar to him are being slowly phased out. I'm sure it's terrifying.
