NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt, Jr. opened up in a recent interview, discussing his strong opinions about the Confederate flag.
When topic was raised by reporters at the Sonoma Raceway on Friday, the 40-year-old stock car driver did not bite his tongue when supporting the need to remove it.
“I think it’s offensive to an entire race. It does nothing for anybody to be there flying, so I don’t see any reason.”
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. further identified the one place where he feels the Confederate flag belongs and should remain.
“It belongs in the history books and that’s about it.”
USA Today reports that Dale Earnhardt, Jr. agreed with NASCAR in regards to removing the Confederate flag from the grounds of the state capitol of South Carolina.
Ditto.
His daughter has had a podcast for a couple of years now, and on one episode, she talked about it. He’d put a bumper sticker on his car that had the flag and “Southern by the grace of God” on it. When a black friend told him she found the flag offensive, he cut that part of the bumper sticker off. The daughter said he didn’t want to offend anyone.
And this isn’t a new stand for Jr. He wrote about his position to the flag in his autobiography 13 years ago.
Your time line is off if you were talking about Moochelle’s ass to your friend, then I challenge what you say you heard.
Sr, DIED at Daytona in 2000, before anyone knew who the Obama’s were.
Total sell out to the PC Yonkee Dollah. Puke.
I never thought I’d see the day when a NASCAR venue in a major metro area like Miami would reduce its seating capacity to 46,000 seats.
We are talking about 2 different people. If you do something I don’t like should I go call your dad a pussy?
pretty much...
Sr. died years before Obama was even elected to the U.S. Senate.
whooa there, don’t bring someone’s dad in this thread kid. You must be a Jr fanboy then huh? Even after what he said, you still protect this pussy? A majority of Freepers think he’s wrong yet here you are drooling like a dog because I dissed your master. You still look the other way eh? haha
“Sr. died years before Obama was even elected to the U.S. Senate.”
WTF are you talking about? Seriously, did you even understand my post? Get outa here haha.
FUDEJr!
Jr. learned from his dad that his name is worth more than every race he’ll ever run.
I’m from the same place as Jr., and we’re close to the same age. I never spent time displaying the confederate flag because I had a lot of black friends.
I really don’t care except somebody’s telling me I can’t display it. That’s what’s making me angry. It’s nobody else’s business.
I guess this makes sense for you: manhood means being gratuitously offensive.
You know nothing about the circles in which these people live.
Speaking of fags, you still have a hard on for me?
Nobody has actually banned it.
Give it 6 months and the outrage of the season will be long decayed away.
Do you still have a hard on for yourself?
i suggest you read you own post#52, and then read it again slowly...
aren’t you supposed to pray or practice humility, stupid? For the chest beating Christian on FR, you sure act like a satanist...;)
