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.

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...
