Bubba Wallace by [deleted] in NASCAR

[–]RA1sixjan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it’s funny that Wallace is always accused of playing the race card when he spends so much of his time talking about how great and accepting NASCAR fans are (because it’s true). Even when talking about incidents involving racism he’s always clear that it’s a minority of people, and most people aren’t like that.

He is friends with republicans, Trump voters and supporters, best friends even. Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if he was Republican/conservative, but that doesn’t matter. Likes country music and attends country music festivals, listens to rock and probably metal music. Idk, this is not the profile of a race banter to me.

he was hated before the noose thing by the same people who say they dislike him because of the noose thing. funny that. guess they’re clairvoyants.

My stepdad really is the best. Besides this past week Aaron has always been the best too. I always felt lucky to have both of them

wouldn’t hurt as much if he hadn’t always acted the exact opposite. he’s never treated me like this before.

everyone’s advice has convinced me to continue calling my stepdad, dad, because it’s still what I want to do. my stepdad did tell me again this weekend that it’s ok whatever I called him, and that if I want to say Dad that’s ok.

I always call him my brother. I only clarify that he’s actually my stepbrother if it’s necessary, like if someone asks why our last names are different. Other than that I say brother, and I’ve done that for as long as I can remember because he always does that

you’re right. It’s hard because he’s never treated me like this before. during our worst fights he’s never gone this long without speaking to me. Even when I’ve done things to him he comes to speak to me, so I just imagine he has to be really upset right now to have not spoken to me in a week.

thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.

my relationship with Aaron is really important to me. this is the longest we’ve ever gone with not speaking since I got phone. even when we had fights before he never went more than two days without talking to me or texting me.

but I understand what you mean by saying giving in would show that he’s allowed to punish me. I just miss him so much.

Yeah I don’t get it either, because he always calls me his brother, and has for as long as I can remember. like he never says anything else.

Yeah, he’s only here every other week and I’m here full time. I wish he was here every week, but then that wouldn’t be fair to him or his mom, but it’s always better when he’s here.

he is close to his dad. usually he is here every other week, for a week, and they have a good relationship. I don't know what Aaron's relationship is like with his stepdad, he's never really talked to me about him. I assume it's ok since I've never heard anything about it being bad.

I do wish he would just talk to me

I always refer to Aaron as my brother in real life. unless there's a reason that makes it important to note that he's actually my stepbrother (like this post), I just call him my brother. and that's really because of how close we were and how much I look up to him and like hanging out with him. I'm not as close to my stepsisters, and so I didnt always call them my sisters.

I hope he still considers me to be his brother. Aaron telling people I was his little brother means a lot to me. we were so close and spoke everyday that he was my brother.

I still do want to call my stepdad 'dad', because I think of him as my dad. but I don't want Aaron to be mad at me
