Says the guy that not two posts ago gave me a 30 year time limit. You guys are impervious to feeling shame about hypocrisy. It's fascinating actually.Well, good to know you put a time limit on when the deaths of 600,000 Americans matters.
These acts weren't in the open.
They were committed by cowardly "clingers to the old Dixie culture" when nobody was looking, and they were committed daily long before Trump came into the picture.
I'm sad for Bubba, as he's a pretty nice young man. NASCAR fans in general like him as well.
Spare us the leftwing beta yak. Democrats are supporting the guy who eulogized a bona fide KKK founding chapter member. The same KKK Grand Wizard that was Hillary Clinton's mentor according to her.

Some men, like Robert Byrd learn, their lessons the hard way and they change. It's true that Robert Byrd was against the Civil Rights Act in 1964. It's a fact that in 1940 he founded a chapter of the KKK in West Virginia.
However, when running for the United States House of Representatives in 1952, he announced "After about a year, I became disinterested, quit paying my dues, and dropped my membership in the organization. During the nine years that have followed, I have never been interested in the Klan." He said he had joined the Klan because he felt it offered excitement and was anti-communist.
Byrd later called joining the KKK "the greatest mistake I ever made."
Robert Byrd - Wikipedia
For 52 years, the remainder of his life, Robert Byrd disavowed the violence and racism of the KKK. And yet, there are people such as yourself will always pull out the 'Robert Byrd' card as though it were an ace-in-the-hole to use against Hillary Clinton in a feeble attempt to try to discredit HRC and paint her as a woman that supported racism and bigotry, and that's just not the case.
"In 1997, he told an interviewer he would encourage young people to become involved in politics but also warned, "Be sure you avoid the Ku Klux Klan. Don't get that albatross around your neck. Once you've made that mistake, you inhibit your operations in the political arena." In his last autobiography, Byrd explained that he was a KKK member because he "was sorely afflicted with tunnel vision—a jejune and immature outlook—seeing only what I wanted to see because I thought the Klan could provide an outlet for my talents and ambitions." Byrd also said in 2005, "I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times ... and I don't mind apologizing over and over again. I can't erase what happened."
An old Southerner may never break themselves of the habit of using racial slurs, that doesn't prove a thing.Robert Byrd used the N word in a fox interview AFTER his supposed change. It was amusing getting a lefty to defend a bona fide KKK grand wizard though. ..lefty pulls down abolitionist statues while defending a KKK grand wizard who was so bold as to use the N word during an interview and who now support the guy who eulogized that piece of ****....and you all have the audacity to call us racists. The facts speak for themselves.
Are you afraid to say what you think the other option is?So, this would have to be a NASCAR employee. No one else would have access to a driver's garage. I'm a little surprised someone would risk a high paying, relatively prestigious job by pulling a stunt like this. But, stranger things have happened, for sure.
There is also the other option.
Time will tell.

Oh really...did Trump eulogize a KKK grand Wizard? Did Trump say a KKK grand wizard was hia mentor like your 2016 candidate did?
How do we know this isn't a Jussie Smolett move?
Are you afraid to say what you think the other option is?
Did he put it there?
Trump has used those who cling to that confederate, racist, past to his advantage. They are an acknowledged part of his openly solicited base.
Your 30 year out of date strawman wasn’t responsible for the death of 600,000 people. Your hero Robert E Lee was.

Trump is the racist, that's clear, it's right out in the open. So, if you aren't racist, why do you support his ideology?

Nah...KKK grand wizard using the N word doesnt say racist at all...a red hat that says make america great though...that's racist. Do you guys hear yourselves. You have no idea what you sound like to normal people do you?
Says the people tearing down Robert E Lee statues. Robert E Lee died in 1870. Your material is 150 years old. They didn't even have flight yet when your material came about.
