"Black MLB players compared to Black NASCAR drivers"

Yes, because its a bloodsport (or was).

If they continue making it any safer they should remove the cars and replace them with Power Wheels. No matter your skin color, go hop in one and go for the glory. Any rational person would understand the risks involved.

There hasn't been a fatality in NASCAR since Dale Sr. So the risks are less now, I don't hate modern NASCAR for diversity because who cares, I hate it for its White Collar and safety focus.

Who gave a shit about a bunch of rednecks killing themselves on an oval track? no one. (edit: I have this same beef with modern computer gaming, who gave a shit 20 years ago about some nerds playing in Norrath.. nothing like that to be seen again)

The roots of the sport are moonshine running during prohibition, when you risked your life running from the cops down sketchy backroads at high speeds. It came from outlaws.

I don't like the neutering. I have had this beef long before a Bubba Wallace showed up to race.

That’s interesting. Was never into Nascar so I didn’t realize that

I think it just a matter of money and heritage like the author said.

It's obvious that I trash talk McDonald's a lot, however I can say they did a great thing sponsering Wallace.

Good for him. He looks so happy with his buddies in that pic showering him. It's like a reverse of the one with the skinny white girl in the center, alas I have no time for photoshopping Wallace's face on her surrounded by white xudes.

Bubba Wallace carries in him the rebel outlaw spirit defying the odds. And legitimately winning against all odds. If he upset you. Go fuck yourself.

From North Carolina to Spokane, Washington, bootleggers during Prohibition used “souped-up” automobiles to stay ahead of federal agents and local police while transporting illegal whiskey on back roads in the dark of night.
NASCAR exists and is a cultural thing because of prohibition.

I don't know how to take your posting here. Rely on a redneck to fill you in after a joke or socio-political shitpost.
