Nothing Good Will Come of This
The NAACP has decided to demand that NASCAR ban all displays of the Confederate battle flag at the upcoming race in Homestead, Florida.
And exactly how do they plan to coerce NASCAR into trampling the free speech rights of thousands of people?
Well, a shakedown of course.
If the civil rights organization does not get the racing league’s cooperation and support, officials there said they are prepared to begin contacting NASCAR’s sponsors, and to stage protests during the races.
Even the ACLU is supporting NASCAR in this made-up controversy. And who is at the source of this race-baiting, inciting a riot movement? Why a community organizer of course.
“We intend to notify NASCAR about the troubling racial discord we have here in Homestead, and we would like their support,” said Rosemary Fuller, a longtime member of the Miami-Dade NAACP who chaired an advisory board that the city council disbanded after board members challenged the Confederate Flag.
Clue one: If you are too radical for the Miami City Council; you are a certified loon!
Now the money quote:
“Right now, we are still in the planning stages,” Fuller said, “but if NASCAR decides to come here under these conditions, we will meet them at the racetrack.”
What could possibly go wrong?
Have you ever been to a NASCAR event? I have.
Even though I grew up in the Deep South and spent a large portion of my career in the south I admit that I was never much of a NASCAR fan. C’mon folks, I know many of you probably enjoy it but 3 hours of left turns waiting for a colossal, life threatening accident that routinely fails to deliver isn’t my cup of joe.
I am reminded of a summer afternoon at my grandparents when I was about 12 years old. I was sitting on the back porch with my grandmother. She was shelling peas and I was (bored out of my mind) watching chickens peck about the ground. I don’t recall if they were circling to the left or not but it wasn’t too exciting.
But that changed quickly. My grandparent’s dog Jack alerted but not in time to stop a fox from pouncing one of the chickens. Before the feathers had a chance to hit the ground Jack was on that fox faster than he would have hit a plate full of pork chops.
Now this was entertainment!
Of course the 40 pound fox soon realized the folly of fighting a 100 pound German Shepherd and managed an escape (though bloodied) into the cane field. I remember being very proud of that dog. My grandmother put a bandage on his leg and then Jack and I (armed with one those cheap kool aid popsicles) walked down to the pond and skipped rocks for a while.
Why is this recollection relevant?
Because NASCAR fans want excitement. I’d say that fans of any sport want excitement.
What happens if Rosemary and her crowd decide to take down one of those flags (privately owned property that is legally displayed by the way)?
Of course this is exactly what Rosemary wants. It would make the news and her cred in the race-baiting community will only grow.
One can only hope that there is a cane field nearby.

Evidently Homestead is also toying with doing away with the Veteran’s Day Parade because someone displayed the Battle Flag of the ANV in ’08.
Yep, a REALLY bad idea there. Those NASCAR fans will eat the NAACP’s lunch. Won’t be pretty. I hope Homestead has a LOT of riot police. Gonna be some a$$ kickin’ over this. Guaranteed. This will absolutely eclipse “the big one” on the front or back straight way. Even if all 43 cars tangled up together it won’t be as epic as the rumble if the NAACP shows up and attempts to enforce their STUPID idea.
Born of southern bootleggers. Raised on the dirt tracks of Darlington, Bristol, Talledaga, and of course Daytona. Matured when the dirt became concrete and high speed asphalt on banked turns that rise higher than a two story building.
Backyard souped-up factory engines in Daddy’s sedan, lost their virginity to special built 358 cubic inch monsters pushing 800 plus horsepower inside purpose built chassis and fiberglass bodies that closely, yet vaguely, resemble current production street cars.
Drivers no longer run from “Revenooers” or the Police, but are sponsored by million dollar contracts.
All this, while maintaining, encouraging, and living the Johnny Reb attitude. The attitude that says: “If I ain’t supposed to do it, then I’ll do it twice as often and twice as hard”. This attitude looked the Union Army in the face and said “Bring it on Yank, y’ain’t gonna tell me how to live…not in my America you won’t!”.
That attitude has rallied beneath the Confederate Naval Ensign we all call…the Rebel Flag. The Confederate Battle Flag has always been about freedom and rights, but the racist sons of bitches that want to pervert it will always call it evil, because that is easier than knowing history.
Gentlemen—-start your engines….and raise your Rebel Flag high!!
So let me get this straight…I buy a $50 ticket to a race, pay 7 bucks each for beers, $5 for nachos, wait in line 20 minutes for a toilet, and they are going to prevent me from flying ANY LEGAL flag I want?
Makes me want to stay home and TIVO it in HD. Cold beer, 10 steps to the bathroom, and air conditioning. And I’ll put the flag up on the computer monitor during the race.
America, what a country! Unfortunately, this complacency will mean that we’ll roll over for these kinds of fascism.
But seriously, how about “from my cold, dead hands”? Freaking lefties.
Go get ’em COB.
Maybe someone will make the old broad happy and cram a case of Bud up her butt. Nice and cold would beat the foot long dildo she used all her miserable life.
Didn’t Je$$e Jack$on $hakedown Nascar years ago?
Yeah, they paid his Rainbow Push a quarter million bucks…
This stuff is getting rediculous. What flag is next the “don’t tred on me”?
If the NAACP and Rosemary Fuller want to target my Confederate flag with their terror techniques; if they desire to attempt to destroy my way of life and the freedoms that I have to enjoy watching 3 hours of left turns; if Ms. Fuller thinks that to bring about some type of mystical equality and diversity that she and her group must trample on others rights and threaten those who have never harmed her or hers, then I have only one thing to say to her- BRING IT ON!!!
Just because the NAACP has even suggested this; I will put very large Confederate Flags on both my trucks and my trailer. All are very visible, and look good enough to wear this great flag.
America has a race problem! That is a fact. And it is kept alive and well by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and their ilk. Not all Blacks buy into that though, and it pisses them off to no end to see good hard working blacks who are happy. One Lloyd Marcus is a shining example. Just google his name, and see not a black, but rather a Red White and Blue American.

Tell those morons in the NAACP to do a Google search:

Their pissing on their own history.
Yep. They fought and died under that very banner.
Douche-nozzles.
I should have added that the Confederate Civil War monument that is in Arlington National Cemetery, depicts a black soldier in the ranks.
Here’s a link to the monument:

The blacks had a hissy-fit (and rightly so), whenever the KKK would come on their private property and burn a cross.
I think it’s about time WE had the same fit when the NAACP et al tries to come on OUR private property & destroy it. Wonder how they’ll feel about it when we shoot them for trespassing??
Too much. Time for ass kickin’.
