NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace tweeted a message to “the next generation” in response to President Donald Trump on Twitter:
His full statement:
“Your words and actions will always be held to a higher standard than others. You have to be prepared for that. You don’t learn these things in school. You learn them from trials and tribulations, the ups and downs this crazy world provides. You will always have people testing you. Seeing if they can knock you off your pedestal. I encourage you to keep your head held high and walk proudly on the path you have chosen. Never let anybody tell you [that you] can’t do something! God put us all here for a reason. Find that reason and be proud of it and work your tails off every day towards it! All the haters are doing is elevating your voice and platform to much greater heights!
“Last thing, always deal with the hate being thrown at you with LOVE! Love over hate every day. Love should come naturally as people are TAUGHT to hate.
“Even when it’s HATE from the POTUS.
“Love wins.”
Wallace’s statement would soon get a stamp of approval from LeBron James, who has been vocal in supporting Wallace’s efforts to speak out:

It was just earlier on Monday when Trump took to Twitter and ripped Wallace and the noose incident where he stated he should apologize for accepting the support from other drivers who stood by him after a noose was found in his garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway.
The president falsely claimed it was a “hoax,” but the FBI determined that there was a rope tied into a noose in the garage, but it had been there since 2019. A NASCAR internal investigation showed that a noose was tied to only one garage stall, and that was the one occupied by Bubba Wallace.
