NASCAR driver debuts 'Blue Lives Matter'-themed car
at races this week, too, in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody and the massive protests that have followed ever since.
The “#BackTheBlue” car doesn’t explicitly say Blue Lives Matter on it, nor did his team say it was a direct response to Wallace’s car, but that connection is an easy one to make. The Blue Lives Matter movement came shortly after the Black Lives Matter movement took hold in recent years as a way to support law enforcement, however many have found it extremely offensive given what the Black Lives Matter movement is trying to accomplish.
RACEDAY here in Miami have something special on the car this weekend. A lot going on in the world right now and I wanted to express that most first responders are good people. My uncle is a firefighter and he would do anything to help save lives. 🙏🏻 please repost LOVE everyone🙏🏻
