I wish they'd stop using that word too. It makes serious issues sound like bad manners. We should just say RACISM |

In case you don't want to read the whole article:
The Tulsa race riot (also called the Tulsa massacre, Greenwood Massacre, or the Black Wall Street Massacre) of 1921[9][10][11][12][13][14] took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921, when mobs of white residents attacked black residents and businesses of the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[1] It has been called "the single worst incident of racial violence in American history."[15] The attack, carried out on the ground and from private aircraft, destroyed more than 35 square blocks of the district – at that time the wealthiest black community in the United States, known as "Black Wall Street". |

A little more:
"The riot was covered by national newspapers and the reported number of deaths varies widely. On June 1, 1921, the Tulsa Tribune reported that nine white people and 68 black people had died in the riot, but shortly afterwards it changed this number to a total of 176 dead" |

Just making light of after race interviews Jack Hewett was probably the best with "Politically Incorrectness" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tAJtnl_1bQ

Well at least the major media hasn’t beat up our sport with this. Sure don’t need any negativity for the sport. Unfortunately as we we know, that’s what major media wants to show any racing in the negative light.
When we all know thats not the truth. At the end of the day, we have a very wonderful racing community that steps up to lend a helping hand to each other and are always concerned with each others wellbeing. We all really need to push the positives out there, as much as we can. America 1st
