There’s nothin honorable about going to war against your own country while being to stupid to realize why you are doing it . Fuck them . Saying it wasn’t about slavery is fucking stupid AF. It was literally part of their constitution , it was called the 3/5ths compromise . Article 1 , section 2 .

And this why NASCAR sucks. If anything they need more controversy. Maybe have a KKK car that everyone boos and hopes loses.

Also by this logic the US flag represents not paying your taxes and that's all it will ever mean. I guess that would explain Trump hugging the flag at his rally.

Boston tea party perhaps?
I did get a chuckle on the hugging the flag bit, at least he admitted hes crooked and many loved him for it.
Shit if I'm gonna get fucked in the ass at least a good warning gives me time to lube up. Thats probably about the only thing I liked about him, gave me time to prepare for this shit show.

Thats where you're misunderstanding. Back then states were like countries hence the union. When a person fought for their state it was like they were fighting for their country

Have you been to a NASCAR event? I suspect most of their regular fans would LOVE to cheer for a KKK car.

They would. It could turn it into a WWW type good vs evil comic book situation.
But that wouldn't go over too good right now. From a marketing standpoint, it would have been a money maker.

I think Bubba Wallace's race car is cool. Was reading he's copped plenty of shit from Nascar fans. Was also reading that Richard Petty asked for the peace sign to be put on the car... now that's a true champion, I dig stuff like that. That paint job on the number 43 car speaks volumes even if he's nowhere near the podium at the end. Talladega will be interesting this weekend.

Oh no shit , so then the confederacy was like a super country . It’s too bad people felt their states were like countries , if they had actually been countries they wouldn’t of had to succeed and they wouldn’t of needed to have a war .

Technically, the word "state" means a sovereign nation. The original idea was that the 13 sovereign states would be united as the United States. That's the reason the Constitution is written as a limitation on the Federal Government. It's a compromise that was intended to be 13 sovereign states giving up some of their power in order to be united under one federal government.
If you asked a Virginian his nationality at the founding of this country, he'd call himself a Virginian. No one thought of themselves as "American" or even a citizen of the United States.

Kinda have to fly it at your own risk in allot of states . You will get beat the fuck down flying that shit in California . Haven’t seen it once in the 20 years since I’ve moved here . Most people don’t associate tv shows like the dukes of hazard with reality or history .
So that’s where California draws the line, the confederate flag? You beat people up over a flag but don’t have a problem with high taxes and needles and turds in your streets? I don’t give a shit about the flag myself, and I care even less than that about NASCAR. It’s been dying for a long time because it’s stupid as shit. Drive fast, turn left. Repeat a couple hundred times.

I've been to plenty of NASCAR events, both top level and supporting series, and I think their fans are for the most part less racist than we are imagining here. That said, the noose situation is pretty nuts. I bet they find the person who did it, many tracks have loads of security cameras in the paddock areas.

Was that a correct way to look at it though, 80 years later ? I always thought states were governing bodies that exist within a country . It was the American revolution not the Virginia revolution . What changed then and when ? Why doesn’t my passport say citizen of California ?
