““We remain committed to our mission of supporting people with diabetes,” Lilly said.”

UNLESS...you used the n-word, then “No More Shots For You!”.

Playing this were less racist or democrats were worse or praising the stupid civil rights acts is playing their narrative and it hasn’t worked since those acts that Magnus Buckley and Goldwater opposes rightly

You have to chunk the fear of being called racist

It’s not hard

I haven’t seen or spoken with Derek in 22 years, I used to fly him. When I was flying for hire.

I spent many days with him.

There is not a more fair, kind man around
This crap about a word has gone insane.

Used a slur for African Americans because it had a **different meaning in his native Ireland**.

Anyone know ?.

Ain’t it grand???

Speak your mind, but be prepared to be eviscerated for the ‘sins’ of the father and of his father and..

Where will it all end?

Mass graves? Massive gulags?

The stage is being set. Pit road is open.. for some.

Hi Kakaze, That’s really cool to have You chime in on this situation. The Members and Resources here on FR never cease to amaze Me, I don’t know why We don’t just take over running America. FReepers could do a better job in every aspect. 99.99% of the “political leaders” are USELESS!!!

Now naturally since You knew Derek that means You are guilty also. < /sarcasm > AAACKK!!! You also contributed to glowbull warming as well.

I see Derek on broadcasts and in no way see a speck of hate or racism in Him. He picks His words carefully and is one of those Guys that a Girl would take Home to meet her Parents.

The leftistcommiedemonrats have lost their collective minds, they have Nothing, contribute Nothing, have Nothing original, stand for Nothing. They try everything in the playbook that didn’t work decades ago and won’t work now !!!

What We as the Opposition need to strike back and stand firm in this PC War because if We don’t they will have won the Soap Box. they for the most part have got the FRAUD in the Ballot Box. That leaves Us to use and master the Jury Box. I’m pretty sure that We got the Cartridge Box covered since most of them don’t know a Breech from a Muzzle.

Anyway Thank You again for Your information on Derek’s demeanor. I know FR has Race Fans but for those that don’t follow Racing You brought Them some great information.

All, see Post 65 Please and Thank You for Y’All Posting and Commenting on this BEYOND STUPID SITUATION!!!

Chode and Vaduz see Posts 16 and 23.

It wasn’t just Buckley and Goldwater opposing the 1964 Civil Rights Act, it was also Ronald Reagan.

Of course Goldwater was the only one of them who had a vote, but the other two warned that this was a giant overreach of government power into the private life of Americans.

Those who do praise it have no business complaining about private citizens being forced to make gay wedding cakes, or about minority hiring preferences, reverse discrimination, or the rest of the progressive social agenda, because all of that stuff originates with that bill. It could have been accurately named the Thought Policing Act.

It’s a shame NASCAR isn’t in a better position WRT sponsors.
Not that many years ago sponsors would have climbed over each other to boost Rausch Fenway if NASCAR had decided it shouldn’t be associated with Lilly (in order to protect the good name of the sponsor, of course)

It created bad publicity. Sponsorships is about good publicity. Nobody wants their logo showing up in a story about racial slurs, no matter how old the quote is. It turned into a story, too bad so sad.
