NASCAR fans outraged about being asked to leave confederate flags at home WJHL

Yep...knew it was going to happen! I was planning on taking kids and wife to race either at Bristol or Martinsville next year....not gonna happen now or until NASCAR apologizes and openly allows flags back in. Enjoy hurting the economy wherever you go NASCAR

Enjoy hurting blacks with your flag.

There are plenty of blacks that support the flags. The educated ones.

Yep. Hell FREE and SLAVE blacks fought for the south with guns etc. A simple google search shows the Black Confederates today. Oh and it hurts anyone's feelings well that's just tough shit along it being their problem. I am hurt that they continue to commit mass crime across the country in every city they occupy.

Blacks overwhelmingly view that flag as racist. To ignore that and continue flying or even supporting it puts your motives in question and certainly counts you among the dumbest in our society.


CNN poll shows majority views Rebel flag as symbol of Southern heritage Political Insider blog


The poll shows that 57% of Americans see the flag more as a symbol of Southern pride than as a symbol of racism, about the same as in 2000 when 59% said they viewed it as a symbol of pride. Opinions of the flag are sharply divided by race, and among whites, views are split by education.

Among African-Americans, 72% see the Confederate flag as a symbol of racism, just 25% of whites agree. In the South, the racial divide is even broader. While 75% of Southern whites describe the flag as a symbol of pride and 18% call it a symbol of racism, those figures are almost exactly reversed among Southern African-Americans, with just 11% seeing it as a sign of pride and 75% viewing it as a symbol of racism.

Among whites, there’s a sharp divide by education, and those with more formal education are less apt to see the flag as a symbol of pride. Among whites with a college degree, 51% say it’s a symbol of pride, 41% one of racism. Among those whites who do not have a college degree, 73% say it’s a sign of Southern pride, 18% racism.
