    Recently, NASCAR has banned the CSA flag, because one driver complained.

    Does this mean that any participant of NASCAR who is offended by any item will be
    able to have that item banned?


    How did this happen???

    Well, at NASCAR all they do is turn left.

    I think it’s disingenuous to say it is because of one driver complaining. You don’t think the current situation of the country had anything to do with this? Really? Come on man.

    Well, this time, I will answer your question even though you did not answer mine, since, I did not properly phrase the question I intended.(*)

    Did the recent events play a part of this NASCAR decision - probably
    BUT on the other hand the driver in question took advantage of the situation to complained and he was successful.

    So, NOW please answer my question:
    Does this mean that any participant of NASCAR who is offended by any item will be
    able to have that item banned?


    * the original post stated does this mean that any participant of NASCAR who is offended by any item will be
    able to have that item offended? (delete "offended" should have said "banned"

    I find that flag as offensive and so should anyone who is an American. NASCAR did the right thing.

    What double standard? They didn’t ban that because of one driver they are joining a National effort to do this. You are being needlessly pedantic. Like what other items? They will probably handle stuff in a case by case basis as non governmental organizations tend to do.

    Do you know if they have a board of directors? If so then ask them the question.

    I think the name "Democrat Party" should be banned because of it's longstanding association with slavery. It was Democrat Party members who supported the heinous institution and even went to war to sustain it. It was Democrat Party members who started the vile KKK. It was Democrat Party members who supported segregation and the nefarious Jim Crow laws.

    Yes, not only should the name "Democrat Party" be banned, but the Democrat Party itself should be banned, forced to disband and relegated to the dustbin of history. No one institution has caused as much pain, caused as many problems, and has kept more people down in America than the Democrat Party. End it!

    Sure, whatever. I don’t care.

    It’s weird that the KKK are all conservatives now though. Don’t you think.

    They are still Democrats at heart - just like Granddaddy was. Conservative Democrats would be the better term. No Conservative Republican wants anything to do with that vile organization. Meanwhile, today's Democrats like Mayor Durkin in Seattle side with the anarchists. She calls the takeover of part of her city a "block party". Yeah right. Now, as the Mayor, how come she isn't in attendance? (minus her police security detail of course)
