If any flex is weirder than claiming that all lives deserve the same opportunities despite systemic racism affecting every aspect of the global majority and making said equity impossible at this current moment, it's claiming that all lives don't deserve the same opportunities and preferring a reversal of prejudice rather than the removal of it.

Exactly, which is why critical race theory is so critical!

"There's a bumper sticker out there still on sale at just about every truck stop in the South. 'AMERICAN BY BIRTH,' it reads, 'SOUTHERN BY THE GRACE OF GOD,' usually with a rebel flag alongside," Busbee wrote. "One day Earnhardt slapped one of these stickers onto the bumper of one of his trucks. He didn't think any more of it until his housekeeper, an African-American woman beloved by Earnhardt's children Dale and Kelley, mentioned that the flag's implications made her uncomfortable.

"Earnhardt immediately went out to his truck and sliced off the rebel flag. The motto remained; the flag itself was trashed. He didn't want to offend anybody or make anybody mad in that manner," Kelley Earnhardt said on her podcast. "He had a good heart."

I don't follow NASCAR but I'm a fan of this guy.

Of course. The good ol pastime of "doing racing."

Obligatory:

Toto, it's called a motor race, okay? We went car racing.
