He literally scraped a Confederate Flag bumper sticker off his pickup truck when a Black Woman told him why it was offensive to her. Dude was capable of listening, empathy, and change, something we need alot more of in today's day and age.
"the culture" meaning...?
Status quo with regards to what?
Does failing to be racist constitute being a maverick?
Are you seriously suggesting that putting a confederate sticker on your racecar is not racist?
What, to you, and to these people who fly it as an anarchy flag, was the civil war about?
There are plenty of rebel flags whose literal stated purpose is not slavery. The red and black anarchy flag comes to mind. If anarchy is what they want to symbolize, why not fly one of those?
More to the point, we started this conversation because you said that repenting rather than digging his heels in was why the racer in the original post got canned. Do you think he was right to be canned? If so, are you saying that repenting is a bad thing?
