There was a racist backlash against Obama but it's going to be dwarfed by the backlash against Trump

and his winking at white supremacists and efforts to sow division and hatred. Backlash against Trump is likely causing all these racist confederate monuments to come down now when it couldn't get done before. The racists are badly outnumbered and putting Trump in was their last gasp. When you lose NASCAR you're losing badly! The people will speak loudly this fall.

The Tea Baggers were the first response to Obama's Presidency - pretending to be about the ACA, but really about having a black man in the White House. Then they recruited lots of lunatics to run for office and we ended up with a whole HOUSE full - and the Senate too.

But they have overstepped their place and here we have this wonderful video from NASCAR.

There are truly more of us than there are of them.

Trump was their last gasp. Let's take him and his enablers down in November!

I used to follow NASCAR because Jeff Gordon was my fav. After he retired I stopped watching.

I may have to start again and root for Bubba

The entire league and organizations can take a knee opening day. This country needs to be pulled together and in that moment will be a large step towards that and if Trump were any type of leader, he would kneel right next to Colin.
