It does seem that Wendall Scott drove in a much more racist time and was accepted with much less drama. I wonder why that was.
|
Wendall Scott went along with the racism and said yes sir and no sir to white folks so he was considered acceptable. That was how black folks were accepted back then. Also, back then NASCAR was racing and not a show where they actively promote good guys versus bad guys.

You goofballs that think Wendal Scot just went along with things and got repected are frecan stoned! Read a book about him better yet read up on Rajo Jack since you cant use the excuse that he was Nascar and you dont give a crap about nascar because Rajo is in the sprint car hall of fame and deservidly so and see what he went through!

I know the answer to the question. Most reasonable people know the answer. Only people who bring race into almost every discussion don't know it. I will help you out. The fact is that if you work hard at what you do for a living and behave like a normal human being no matter where you come from or what race you are the vast majority of people will accept and respect you. That is what Wendell did.

i figured there would be a topic about this since bubba wallace was involved. i wasn't disappointed...although i'm glad to see the first post put some blame on larson. there's been nonsense going on like this all year in nascar but it invovled the black guy so people from the dirt world who pretended not to care about "nascrap" like kevin swindell are jumping in with their opinion on twitter. he said something like bubba didn't earn his ride. he must have missed bubba's win this year...or all the other no name white drivers in nascar like the dillon brothers who REALLY did nothing to earn their rides.
i'm not defending what bubba did. it's a bad look to be honest. true colors come out though when you're not upset with other people who do similar things.
larson has been hard to figure out this year. he's made some pretty baffling mistakes like what happened today, hitting the wall randomly at the roval, and apparently just missing turn 1 at the indy road course. his team hasn't done him any favors. chase elliott always whines when he gets raced hard and larson ends up having to apologize. the appeal of the byron suspension inadvertently knocked larson out of the playoffs. i can see a day in the not too distant future where he decides the "nascrap" isn't worth putting up with any more.

He wrecks people on pit road as well.

One has to wonder what some did in their past to they feel a need to atone for that they feel need to now call eveyone they disagree with now a racist to make up for it. But is this discussion any different than discussing politics on here. You are by the way king of saying "No Politics!". By the way I did say that Wendell was respected during a much more racist time.

I'm not saying anyone has to atone for anything. I'm just pointing out that your statement "no matter where you come from or what race you are the vast majority of people will accept and respect you" isn't necessarily true.
Race has been a part of this discussion from the start. I didn't bring it up, & yes, it has political aspects...
Notice that i've been pretty much siding with Larson on this?

Why do some people always make everything about race? This was about a race car driver not using his head. Bubba lost a lot more than he knows over this incident.
Let's go Sprint Car Racing!
Knoxville - Best Track In the USA!
Eldora - 2nd Best Track in the USA!

I guess my point went flying way over your head.

Not at all, I understand your point, but its irrelevant. I never said anything about "atoning", nor did i call anyone racist. You're arguing about something I never said. All I'm saying is that "no matter where you come from or what race you are the vast majority of people will MAY OR MAY NOT accept and respect you"
True or false?
