"Dictatorship"?

NASCAR is not a country, it has its own rules

Yes, and I refuse to abide by rules regarding something related to something like the first amendment. If they want to take away people's freedom to express themselves then I'm not interested in watching their events.

Never watching any NASCAR races again. 

Bye! This is not a dictatorship. 

I've never watched it in the first place. I don't get what so damn interesting about it

"Hey, you know what sounds cool?! Let's watch a bunch of guys make hundreds of left turns at high speeds in cars covered with advertising!! YEAH!!! MASCULINITY!!!"

Also, I'm not surprised. The most redneck sport wouldn't be complete without blind nationalism.

Any soldier that's getting mad at a peaceful protest or people speaking their mind, even if it's against the U.S. government, has no idea what they were fighting for in the first place.

Does this apply to the 2nd as well?

While I suppose some parts of this are true, your overall point here is wrong and rooted in racist propoganda.

At the end of the day, there are still a large number of cops out there using racial profiling and being much rougher/using lethal force with black Americans. That's what we're protesting. 

Statistics are rooted in racist propaganda? And when will they stop kneeling? Will they only stop kneeling once police officers stop defending themselves against black criminals, and allow themselves to be murdered? This theory of "institutional racism" is insanity. If there is a specific instance of racism, point to it and 99% of the population will do everything in their power to solve it.

Isn’t that violating their freedom of speech? I don’t get why these conservatives get so butt hurt over these things.

In what way? There was never any intention to take away guns, PERIOD.  Just make the process of purchasing one a little more controlled. We did the same with airport security. Why? Because it posed a threat to the greater good. If you’re you know you haven’t done anything wrong, then you should be fine to purchase your guns. But until there is any further regulations we will continue to see gun violence around the US.

American History? Oh wow no wonder Black people kneel the United States ****ed them over for years and years and you’re telling them to respect that? The soldiers that fought for the flag fought so we can have that right to kneel while the national anthem is being sung (many stated this) I find it funny how Trunp and all his supporters talk about respect when they themselves never seem to show it.

Hillary Clinton said Monday that the U.S. needs to reinstate the expired assault weapons ban.

Clinton said "weapons of war" must be removed from America's streets, and that means reinstating an assault weapons ban.

"We had an assault weapons ban, it expired. And we need to reinstate it," Clinton said, noting past terror attacks that used "military style weapons."

But not to get off-topic, I just find it silly when the same people who have said "1st Amendment doesn't apply to private businesses" get mad that it doesn't apply to private business when the politics are reversed.

You're sort of right that there's a double standard... but its also kind of assuming that we should hold beliefs that are in favor of depriving other people of equal rights, their lives, dignity, and respect as equally as valid as those that affirm all people. One is rooted in hatred, bigotry and ignorance and holds our society back from progressing, the other is informed by logic, empathy, and progress and makes life better for people. Whether you acknowledge that or not is up to you, but there's no law anywhere that requires we be tolerant of bigotry  Private companies can legally do **** like this if they want, the same way more liberal companies can distance themselves from racist employees, but let's not act like they are equally as justifiable  

(I mean, unless you're an actual white supremacist, a racist, etc. and you benefit from these things  )
