Being almost symmetrical (except for the orientation of the little stars on it) that is hard to notice. I wonder how often that has happened by sheer mistake.

I guess that’s what that guy is trying to point out.
But not everybody is, Joie. Will you ban the Stars and Stripes next???
I hate to a harda$$(actually no) but if they want to take a stand for the flag shouldn’t they be somewhere else rather than at the racetrack filling NASCAR’s coffers?
Will Brian France run around in the infield at Talladega confiscating Rebel Flags on the day of the fall race?
My guess, he wouldn't dare try a dumb stunt like that. But you never know ....
There is a massive backlash underway against the social justice warriors and their neo-Stalinist ways. I just don’t know if it will be enough, or if blood will have to spill.
If Al Sharpton woke up tomorrow and decided that vanilla ice-cream was racist because it's white, and that anyone that eats vanilla ice-cream is a racist or (if black) an Uncle Tom then, by the end of the week, there would be calls for it to be banned. The NYT would write on the oppressive history of vanilla-bean farmers; MSNBC would do an "expose" on the racist history of consumers of vanilla ice-cream; Obama's (in)Justice Department would investigate manufacturers of vanilla ice-cream; the IRS would conduct audits of the same companies; and there would be marches and rioting on the streets of major US cities.
There are those among us that wake up everyday looking for something to be agrieved about. Critics don't need to get rid of the old confederate battle-flag (it's just a flag for Pete's sake!), they need to get an education.
Not for nothing but that flag should not be above old glory.
Somehow, I was pretty sure this was going to be the response of the NASCAR fan base - they would consider it a challenge to put ANY limits on the display of the battle standard of the Army of Northern Virginia.
Attempting to repress the display of this symbol of the South may have tapped into something that has been simmering for a long time.
How would anyone know?
Never mind. Answered my own question.
Because it was under threat of questioning and possible impeachment proceedings by its so called political opposition the regime needed to defer or stop any movement toward this. It was necessary to use a political device usually atrributed to Saul Alinsky but used by the nazi and commie’s like Stalin with the “Kulacks” through racial division. It created persons engaged in felonious assults on authority who were black youths into “victims of an evil society” (thus approving their actions) out of whole cloth.
The regime began with the Zimmerman case which resulted in a series of assults by black youths on completely innocent whites,”hispanics”, and asians who were either targeted or wandered near or through black gang infested areas. The perpetators excuse; The reported “cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin because he was black”
It led to a score or more deaths and serious injuries. And it was met with silence while this was happening. Neither the locqatious POTUS or his political opposition uttered as much as a “Now!,Now! or a “tsk!,tsk!”.
Those killings were referenced by the Charleston Church massacre perpetrator in his crazed manifesto.

Naturally when it was discovered that mention of those score of murders were used in this nut cases’s “manifesto” the reaction was....“Well we can’t let that out. Oh ! His face book has him holding a Confederate battle flag which to many is simply an ensign of protest and rebellion that must be his excuse “The Confederates made him do this horrible act ! Let’s get them !” And they’re doing a good job of perverting what it’s used for.
NASCAR has a problem completing the equation. They cave to the whims of the libtard sponsors, not realizing that if the crowd fails to show up, the sponsors will go away. The sponsors, will quickly change their tune if the bottom line turns into sand.
It’s a matter of how much people value their personal pride.
Not long ago NASCAR campgrounds were a sea of rebel flags and racism had nothing to do with it. It was about NASCAR’s roots in moonshine and rebellion against tyrannical government.
