mdemko Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 First off. This discussion IS NOT about race, hate, or discrimination. NASCAR had scheduled the general lee to make a parade lap at the subway fresh fit 500 at Pheonex. They have recently changed their decision and canceled the appearance because of the confederate flag on top. This has created quit a disturbance with the NASCAR fan base claiming that NASCAR is stepping away from its heritage. I'll post the article when I get home. What do y'all think about this issue?

Casey Graves Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Its ridiculous, honestly most people don't even know what the rebel flag is except that rednecks fly them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemko Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 The stars and bars that is in roach's avatar was a battle flag of virginia, not the flag of the confederacy. It is amazing that people don't know the history of their own country. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouth426ful Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 never liked it, i just want to see some racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Graves Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'm more upset that Bubba Watson will not get his dream of driving on the parade laps for a nascar race. Maybe he will just hit some golf balls off a truck to compensate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRobson Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 NASCAR has definitely stepped away from where it came from.. That's why the fricken sport isn't nearly as good as it was before Brian France took over. Brian wants to make the typical liberal Northerner happy instead of just doing whats right for the sport. Now they have to be all politically correct. Its a joke. People get so butthurt over everything even when they don't even know the MEANING of it. The entire country is the same way. Buncha damn crybabies in this country. You can't even fly the AMERICAN FLAG without someone who is 'offended' by it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJfan48 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Like Robson said , people can even say "black" with being called a racist, Hispanic instead of Mexican , heck Christmas will banned before we know it Politically correct is a phrase I try to stay away from. What makes me even more mad is when people say 9/11 was faked by the government and they remote controlled planes in the towers. God Bless my Grandpa who was one of the jumpers on the top of North Tower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
