One person on YouTube, who the racists will love, is saying that Wallace couldn't be be hated for his black skin...because he wasn't completely black?

You really think racists don't still believe in the..."one drop rule?"

Quote:
The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States in the 20th century. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of black blood)[1][2] is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms).

This concept became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste and later segregation. It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups
Do you have any idea, how many "good old boy fans/employees" are livid.... that NASCAR banned confederate flags this week?

Across the street at Talladega, the best selling items at vendors tents were...confederate flags.

Not to mention that cleaning crews, other team's crews, etc...have access to the garage area.

Quite frankly, it is constant attempts like these by certain folks on ANY incident of racism and where there hasn't been a single post in recognizing racism against blacks...that just proves how badly things still are and needs to be changed.

At least his fellow competitors and other crews...are willing to acknowledge it and support him.
