Wow! So the Confederate flag has been banned at NASCAR events. That should be very comforting to it's one Black driver and two Black fans (Bubba Wallace's mom and dad).

Even though not displaying Confederate flags at NASCAR may not seem like a big deal it must be done to establish that the USA and anti slavery is what matters to us all. We are so lucky the USA won the civil war. Those who don't agree should go live somewhere else. I hear the North Pole has a lot of available real estate.

Or 3 or 4 after that. OK call me a pessimist but I believe given past history that is more realistic. And I have a feeling even that may be over optimistic. But I do believe that the decision NASCAR made was the right thing to do. Plenty of progress still needs to be made.

Well, finally something positive to talk about. Drivers and pit crews put on a very moving display of support for Bubba Wallace by pushing his car to the front today at Talladega Superspeedway. It was very moving to watch. Let's hope that spirit extends to the fans as well. I love it when people do more than just talk.

If they lose some fans because of it then that is a bonus to lose them. They aren't welcome.
