Tweet of the Absurd

Bubba Wallace has no reason to apologize for something he wasn't personally involved-in.  Furthermore, Fox Sports revealed that following the confederate flag ban NASCAR viewership has skyrocketed - with the Talladega race the most watched since 2014.  NASCAR is a business and they're being smart about things.  They know that divisiveness is not a good business model.  

The Lost Cause of the Confederacy is an American pseudo-historical ideology which advocates the belief that the cause of the Confederate States during the American Civil War was righteous, just and heroic. 

The historical truth is that this ideology was used to perpetuate racism and white supremacy during the Jim Crow era in the American South. Don't take my word for it - read the history.

It romanticizes fantasy virtues of the antebellum South and glorifies the war as a struggle that was primarily waged in order to save the Southern way of life or to defend states' rights. This mythology minimizes or completely denies the central role of slavery and white subjugation of Africans in both the lead-up to and outbreak of the Civil War.  It is revisionist history.

Yesterday - Senator Lindsey Graham said it best:  If you're in business the confederate flag is not a good way to grow your business.

So here we find ourselves - virus cases are skyrocketing, our wounded economy is at great peril, re-openings are in reverse and the lives of countless American families shattered.  

And Donald Trump is more concerned about supporting a lost cause.

I just don't get it.....
