    Extra context for those initiated to NASCAR:
    The man who has won more races and is tied for the most season championships in NASCAR history is a guy named Richard Petty. I wouldn't necessarily consider him a progressive, as he did say some homophobic stuff back in the days of the AIDS scare, but... when he was a driver, he led the drivers union (although they called it an "association" for semantic purposes), in which they even sanctioned a race walkout.
    He's been retired from racing for over 25 years, but he still owns a team in his name, with his likeness. Right now, the man who drives his car is the only black driver in the top series of NASCAR. Tonight that team raced with a #BLACKLIVESMATTER themed car.
    NASCAR was never the problem. NASCAR fans were the problem.

    The fact that nascar not only said publicly and made it a point to support black lives matter was something I didn't expect. Especially knowing how that may not go over well with their fan base.Also banning the confederate flag was another good point. They should’ve definitely done this a long time ago though. Did not expect them of all organizations to take that stance.

      TR Foster “wetback” is referring to a couple stereotypes about any immigrant who’s from south of the border: the sweat on backs of immigrants who cross through the desert or swim through the Rio Grande and the idea that we only do hard outdoor labor like field work or construction. It’s essentially another way of calling someone illegal.

      thats a fine statement....notice he didn't back that up with anything even approaching a coherent argument I'm gonna let you in on a little secret.....History is never either one thing or the other. The funny thing about this is especially when dealing with the statues or bases named after generals there is always one person missing from. The panel of talking heads....an actual historian that specializes in those individuals. There are some i agree should never ever be immortalized Calhoun, Bedford Forrest, Steven's and while we are at it throw in Sherman and Sheridan unless you approve of targeting women and children. But others like Lee, Jackson, Longstreet that did not fight to keep slavery in place but rather because they believed their highest duty was to their home state. And before you try.....there is no debate about this it has been accepted history for 160 years and no reputable historian disputes it. This was a Civil War i find it funny that people that have never made a tougher decision than paper or plastic think they can pass judgment on people that had to choose to go to war with their country or against their own family.

He just seems to have really good situational awareness on the grand scale, and sound reasoning abilities. You have to parse him directly, cause he's not just repeating something from somewhere else. He reads between the lines of the usual news coverage, plus he clearly has had some unique real life experiences that firmly plant his mindset at street level where the people are. If you want to paint him into a box of some sort, you're going to have to work every day to keep him in there cause he's not that simple; he forces you into the nuances which is again... where the people actually are that have to deal with these nonsensical falsely-dichotomized arguments that are disseminated from the Left and Right's conversational architects. He's turning their daily allocated narrow-framed narratives on themselves and helping people visualize the absurdity of the lies and half-truths they're trying to pass off as reality. I've enjoyed the daily thought exercise, cause it either obliterates unexamined thoughts or metastasizes your own delusional convictions, depending on your brain's plasticity level.

Then we enslaved people to do our work and help build it. Lets fly flags that actually demean these people and build statues to war criminals that wanted to keep these people enslaved. Have monuments and statues for the great Indian fighters. What the hell way past time that this stuff that a few idiots seem to think is a good part of our history need to be put away somewhere not something that should be looked up to. It was a dark time we need to acknowledge it for what it was. NOT anything to be proud of. We as a people need to do everything that we can to right those wrongs. We will never be able to atone for everything, but damn it we need to try.

    Thanks for your channel. I myself have a different thought on the Confederate flag. That flag represented the enemy of the US. Imagine how those Southerners would feel if we hoisted the flag of Nazi Germany or North Korea at a NASCAR track.

An Indian guy from my town raced once in a NASCAR truck series after trying F1, I believe the NASCAR fans voted him their favorite driver or something like that. Narain Karthikeyan is his name.
