**  Social justice at NASCAR's forefront as new season begins.  (Daytona 500.  Good old Bubba who played his Black Card.  We were at a bar Sunday and they put on the race when it started.  You should have heard everyone yelling to turn that ____ off.  We'll see if Blacks start coming to the races enough to offset so many who won't go or watch it now.)

** At 94, Fort Worth activist Opal Lee views Juneteenth as her most important lesson.  (A black woman.   Again, how come there are so many black activists and I don't think many white ones?  At what point will Blacks demand the Fourth of July be replaced by Juneteenth?)

I sure won't be taking out any auto insurance with those guys.)
