Once I have been told that a
half-truth isn’t a complete lie. However, if a half-truth is told in the intent
to deceive then it too is a form of deception which might as well be a lie.
This past week with the racially charged civil unrest in Charlotte, North
Carolina was a lie!
As I drove through Charlotte, I
took the liberty of broadcasting on Vaughnlive.tv where I had an audience that
was taken away by the beauty of one of the most metropolitan attractive cities
in the Southeast which is Charlotte, North Carolina.
Mainstream media would’ve had you
to believe that Charlotte was left in disarray after the riots that have taken
place called for the National Guard in a State of Emergency. If Charlotte,
North Carolina on September 24, 2016 was in a state of emergency then there are
other cities, counties and towns that are in a state of emergency.
I am a huge fan of NASCAR which
many would say is a predominantly White sport. When I heard the news of the
NASCAR Museum being a victim of the looters then my first emotion was of a
sentimental discrepancy. One of my most favorite memories with my Dad in
adulthood is when we went to the NASCAR Hall of Fame induction and I’ve met
NASCAR legends such as Cotton Owens, David Pearson and even Daryl Waltrip. The
replica cars that are on the first part of the track are skillfully crafted by an
artist by the name of J.B. Day who is not only was a friend of my family’s but
a man who is no longer with us.
