Damn bro! You're killing it in this forum with your amazing 15 likes. Keep up the good work.

What kind of loser/republicuck records and cares about that. Might as well start regaling me with your softball stats.

They were actually driving around the venue waving them.

One of them actually hired a plane to fly a giant confederate flag too.

Probably false flags tho.

Sad to see that in our nation of "patriots", people willingly embrace the flags of traitors. But I'm not surprised this happened in a state where Churches were bombed because people wanted to be treated like everyone else.

As a mixed race person of black and white heritage I think I can relate more to Bubba Wallace and how he may see himself than you can.

Just like how I'd never expect to tell a white or black person how to define themselves, I'd also expect a white or black person not to tell me or any other mixed race person how to define themselves.

He can define himself as whatever he wants. We're just saying he doesn't look black. And in my personal opinion, he can't claim to be the victim of discrimination against blacks when he looks like he could be a member of the Sopranos crew. He has to literally inform people he is black. In big bold letters written across his chest and the hood of his car.

Nowhere was it dictated what Bubba should identify as. Could and should are not synonyms.

You and mick are less perceptive than Helen Keller if you think someone with Bubba's complexion is immune to discrimination.

Hold up, you're saying this guy looks so white that it's a stretch to call him black?

Holy shit, you finally reached 18 likes!! Good for you bro. I can tell you're such a likable person. There's no way you're an incel with those 18 likes bro.

Did they capture the false flag yet?

Just because Bubba Wallace is light skinned doesn't make him close to being white. He still would've suffered racism like other black people. Racists don't give passes to people who are mixed race. You will still get called the n word or be discriminated against for your looks.

If someone truly did that as an act of racism, he should be arrested and charged. I’m just struggling because I know how those areas are heavily secured and cameras all over the place. These guys keep their tech private, and NASCAR can’t have people fucking with other people’s equipment, or teams doing illegal shit. Seems like a stretch someone could actually get away with it. By the way, I’m fine with the banning of the Confederate flag, but I could see people getting really butt hurt.

He's claiming these two guys have the same complexion lol.

Actually you see more discrimination from darker skinned blacks in these cases. I saw it all the time, there were all sorts of nicknames and deragatory terms. So many mixed race kids in my town and the kids all hang together, no one cares anymore which is why this is the last generations issue not today’s.

I'm saying it wouldn't be my first, second or even third guess. Only thing I wouldnt guess is anglo-saxon or asian. My first guess would be south italy, maybe southern french or algerian second.

Have you ever actually met a Sicilian? People from that region are roasted brown.

Because they're literally mixed with North Africans... More specifically the Phoenicians for centuries and eventually Moors for a century or two.

I'm sure some do assuming they can identify you as such. This depends on choices a person makes with regard to how they present themselves.

I had no idea Rashida Jones was Quincy Jones's daughter. I assumed she was white from her appearance on The Office for years. This is what Halsey means when she talkings about being "white-passing" despite that she isn't white, either. Were you aware? I wasn't. Not until the Floyd protests broke out and I read an interview with her because she participated in the protests. I'm willing to bet a lot of guys on Sherdog had no idea she has a black parent. If I worked for some institution, she came in, and filed some document with me where she only checked "White", I wouldn't have questioned it. Same with Rashida.

Bubba reminds me of Blake Griffin. The blackest thing about them is their hair. Straighten that and I might just think they had a deep tan. I might notice slightly darker skin, so that I would wonder if they had someone of dark skin somewhere in their family tree, but it would be a mystery to me. Native American, Polynesian Islander, Latino, Black...I wouldn't know, and I'd be as likely to assume one parent was white, and another light-skinned of this mysterious origin. Wentworth Miller is another example that comes to mind. No idea.

This is where that "spectrum" of race becomes valid. I'm not saying race isn't real. I'm saying there's a spectrum that's important to perception. Yet, in this instance, when it is convenient for those holding liberal political views to deny it, or laugh about it, those who have most widely embraced the "race isn't real!" slogan in the past decade suddenly acknowledge again that race is quite real. They laugh at the space where it legitimately blurs.
