Unbelievable! Why did NASCAR give $ to PUSH? Are blacks even interested in NASCAR? I mean, this is like saying that Howard Dean had no blacks among his Vermont staff.

Yeah, you're right. I go to races and have even gone with friends who are black. But, the fans in the stand are predominately white or Hispanic. I suppose NASCAR has some twisted PC mentality of trying to appear more demographically cross cultural.

But heck, there are a lot better ways than joining Jesse Jackson! If they *hafta* try to appear more PC then support somebody who'd get a good black race team out there. I'm betting that team would garner no little support. There would be folks rootin' for 'em just because most of us rednecks like to see the underdog come out lookin' good.
