Bubba Wallace has dealt with racism his entire life.
NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace embraced activism recently, but he’s dealt with racism his entire life. Wallace’s family detailed multiple incidents of racism Wallace faced on his road to NASCAR, including one that occurred when Wallace was in middle school, according to the Charlotte Observer.
A few years later, a similar incident occurred. Wallace’s mother, Desiree Wallace, detailed that situation. Bubba was about 14 at the time. “I just told Bubba, ‘The best thing for you to do is just to go out there and win, because people are going to feel the way they feel. And there’s nothing that you can do about it,’” his mother said.While appearing on Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s podcast in June, Bubba Wallace talked about getting pulled over by the cops when he was 18. Wallace was deeply involved with NASCAR at the time. He was pulled over for not using his turn signal.
Wallace’s mother and father, Darrell Wallace Sr., disagreed about the incident, according to Desiree. Darrell, who is white, was upset police searched Bubba’s car without cause. Desiree — who is Black — told Bubba he did the right thing by not protesting, as it could have led to an even worse situation.
