Well…the fight over a stinking flag took a turn yesterday in the hotbed of traitors, Alabama, when nascar made good on banning the “traitor’s” flag from their venues…okay, and let’s call that flag what it is…it is not “the confederate battle flag”…calling it that imbues it with some sort of veneer of acceptability….remember, it is the traitor’s flag, flown by traitors who tried to tear this country apart just so they could continue to own slaves…and don’t give me the bullshit that the war was about “states rights”…in the constitution of the confederate states, it states bluntly that protection of the institution of slavery is the reason they were trying to destroy the US…and every fact based historian agrees that is the reason…and it wasn’t “brave or noble” to tear apart this country and kill almost a million Americans for slavery, so let’s cut that bullshit out too. Just yesterday, the racists in Alabama put on a show at Talladega speedway where they had a rally outside the gates with hundreds of traitors flags and they even flew a huge one over the track just to make their point that they are a bunch of racist asses…and that point was driven home by the discovery of a noose hanging in the garage of the only black driver in nascar, Darrell Wallace, whose suggestion that maybe, with the nation getting on board with the “black lives matter” movement, it would be a good idea to get rid of the racist symbol of traitors and make the sport a little more welcoming to everybody. It was heartening to see the response to this racist thuggery as swift and sure condemnation of this hate crime…and unlimited support of Darrell as he tries to do his part to make this country a better place…as I do…it’s about damn time that we have this conversation…but it is the 50th time in my life that this “conversation” has happened but just the conversation…it is past time to take on the racist assholes in this country and tell them to go back under the rocks they crawled out from….their time has passed and they deserve to be thrown on the ash heap of history along with their traitor’s flag….keep it up Bubba, we’ve got your back….
