50 Cent Sees 'No Black People' At Daytona 500
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Give NASCAR credit for this, the racing circuit continues to attempt to diversify its fan base.

This year, in a continued effort to show racing fast cars should appeal to more than just its traditionally white fan base, the circuit brought in African American celebrities such as recording artists 50 Cent and T.I. and future Hall of Fame NFL star Ray Lewis to the Daytona 500. It's a long way from the traditional slate of country singers.
Yet even with the best intentions, the intended message may not be getting out.
"Damn, I don't see no black people lol," 50 Cent tweeted Sunday after arriving at Daytona International Speedway.
That was about the last message NASCAR was hoping to have hammered home to 50 Cent's nearly eight million followers.

The guy who sang the national anthem was black. I don’t see many whites on NBA courts. Who can I sue?

"
Maybe NASCAR needs a low-rider division."
May be. People shouldn't take it so hard. Curtis was making a joke. Not my preferred music, but just sayin'...
Turn up the stereo and bass.

He's a self-made man and an American success story who overcame a background of poverty and crime to become a highly successful musician and businessmanHe's a talentless moron who got lucky (to survive being shot) and cashed in every way he can (he will even take whiteys NASCAR money, even if he don't need it) .
Last of the breed, sampling white musicians real music and making millions is done.
Nothing conservative about him or the effin COMMUNISTS that are LARGE AND IN CHARGE IN DC.
Here's to hoping that evil faggot in the WH's comrades nuke DC from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

"Damn, I don't see no black people lol," Black people aren't dumb, they weren't paying big bucks to see such a dull race in person. They would have to pay me to be there too.

You won’t see this old white guy at a NASCAR race either. Does that make for news?
To: Textide
LOL..And thanks to you. You reminded me that I was out of wine and in need of a trip to the old liquor store.
To: DIRTYSECRET
There would be more black fans at NASCAR events if there were more black drivers. Anyone know why there arent any? They tend to prefer vehicles with poor aerodynamics and weight distribution for racing.

I don't know much about Mr. Cent. However, as he appears to wish to fix a lack of diversity wherever he finds it, may I humbly submit that, rather than looking to a venue in which minorities are welcome, but
choose not to attend, he focus his attention on places where his fellow peeps of color are completely and conspicuously absent by choice: PBS. Specifically cooking shows.
On Create TV there are a bunch of cooking shows.
Check it out...
http://www.createtv.com/Cooking#
All the demographics are represented:
- Dead white women
- Live white women
- Ex con white women
- Old french white men
- Cute hispanic women
- Bitchy white women
- Italien women
- Asians
- White men - a few who appear to play for the other team.
Just about every slice and dice of demography is there - except blacks.
Heck, the enlightened leftists at PBS couldn't even manage to find a black man who could make BBQ.
And it's not just cooking - ever see a black man on "This Old House"?
