[ BLM ] The Day The Race Card Was Played
fans started walking away
from the table in a huff, complaining
the banned Confederate flag
is a symbol of heritage
not hate ...
Enough is ENOUGH!
Exiting stadium doors;
absolutely refusing!
to attend any more
auto racing events
instead of cheering for
everyone crossing the finish line
together

It always seems so that those who claim the flag for heritage are the same who will wave it while saying black folk need to get over slavery. I see that piece of trash traitor banner nearly every time I leave my home. It is part of my heritage, too, but not one to celebrate. Well done, NASCAR. Better late than never.
Particularly poignant last stanza, Johnny.

Thank you, PS! I hope they ban apparel too because you know confederate flag t-shirts will be flying off the rack.

a central and fitting theme for us who oppose racism
i used the phrase in my spill, Regale Appositenesses -
even though i spilled mostly about Food (of course!)
Your spill perfectly described what happened --

Thought provoking write, Mr. Blaze. But in the end, I hope to hear, 'Start Your Engines' once again.
