    Well by all means post where the FBI said what you claim they did. You can't do it, because they didn't say it.

    They sent 17 FBI agents salivating to find a hate crime...and they found nothing.

    He's a hometown boy and always cheered him on but after the virtual race tantrum where he just quit lost some respect for him. And then the whole fake racial attack thing.
    Here's him taking out Kyle Busch

    It was how he and NASCAR handled it then and his subsequent continuing to play the victim rather than defending the other teams and track workers and then attacking fans as "simpleminded".

    It isn't the only time he spun someone under the yellow.

    Perpetuating fake news is a lie.

    You do realize that they are children? You can see them at wrestling matches too, even when they know it's fake. As for that big beautiful battle flag, I still have one with "Racist" Max Cleland's name on it.

    Thank you. I don't understand why anyone would try to say race doesn't matter. I guess that's a way to avoid talking about it. White fragility.

    OK. I will. Right after I tell all the freed slaves who died fighting for the Union Army. There was a large number of them in the 54th Massachusetts colored regiment under the command of Robert Shaw. Battle of Fort Wagner.
    Look it up.

    IQ matters. Self restraint matters. If you give a 5 year old an IQ test and the marshmallow test, you can predict with devastating accuracy how well they will do in life. Those are the two metrics in which I dominated my brothers and I ended up with a net worth greater than all four of them combined. My kids are top of the chart for IQ but fail miserably on the marshmallow test and will therefor do much worse than myself. If race genetically affects IQ and self restraint then it will necessarily affect financial success too. Is that what you are arguing?

    So you're saying it's a symbol. The American flag is also a symbol, but the left claims it's merely a piece of fabric, just a lowly piece of cloth.

    Do you realize how many words we can't use, how many books we can't read, how many movies we can't watch, how many things we can't do because it hurts someone's feelings? Tell me, when Wallace learned of this racist and fearsome noose, did he break down and cry, curl up in a ball and refuse to get out of bed while taking double doses on his anxiety meds?

    People of all colors and religions have been lynched, so why blacks would think a knot on the end of a string used to pull down a garage door was targeting them and only them is beyond explaining unless they crave victimhood and attention.

    Only to the people who want it to be. I live in a Mexican majority city and I don't see Mexicans, I see people.

    You do realize that more white people have been murdered by blacks than the number of blacks who were lynched, right? If symbolism is what you're after, then by your own reasoning, should white people cower in fear or be offended by black people? Don't give me a snarky or sarcastic answer, just tell me why white people shouldn't think of blacks the same way blacks think of a knot.

    Keep telling yourself that BS, from reading your post over the years you are well aware of race.

    No. I am arguing that White privilege gives anyone with white skin a distinct advantage over anyone who doesn't have white skin.
    I never heard of the marshmallow test. I need to Google that.

    P.S. Congratulations on your financial success. Just think how many more African-Americans would be wealthy if we had a level playing field.

    ALL sports entertainment is sucking right now and auto racing still had huge audiences and still the most attended event every year. Again you obviously don't know much about the sport as in I don't know anything about Squash and would find it quite boring to watch.

    Really? Did they invade and destroy the Union slaves states that did not succeed to free those slaves?

    You don't know what happened over the noose, do you? Comparing Bubba Wallace with Smollett in BS.
    Ya think?
    It is unless you're saying racism should beget racism.

    That's on this board, but in life I don't really pay attention to race that often. Like I said earlier, I live in a Mexican majority area and everyone gets along just fine. The few times race creeps into reality are the times when I have an open position and HR reminds me that I have no black people on my crew - all but 3 of them are Mexicans because that's the reality of where I live. Another thing is the crap I see on Facebook, it's all about race - first it was everything that's black is wonderful, now attitudes are changing because of the violence and special rights and privileges they seem to want. I stay out of all that because it's just not wise to post anything using your real name where someone could twist and distort what I said and suddenly the PC cops are trying to ruin my life.

    But ever since 2008 race has become a political tool and weapon and we can see that now. So discussing race on this board is an appropriate and safe way to discuss that tool and weapon. When you and I debate stuff, it usually pertains to race. But if you and I ever get that chance to suck down those beers, I doubt race would even be mentioned.
