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.

Horse racing, hockey, golf and NASCAR, the last bastions.....
Well at none that were born in the US.
Maybe we could develop a new type race where one of the cars is driven by an actual police officer and the other cars by actual hoodies, the goal would be to outrun the cop for 500 miles. If he beats you you actually go to jail. Of course the after race (race?) riot would be a blast to watch.
NASCAR don’t take no EBT.
Willy T. Ribbs (yes, his real name) was a NASCAR and IndyCar driver
That means no feral Amish running in packs knocking out people. A NASCAR event is probably the only place a person needn’t have to pack heat.
don’t think he took his hat off for the National Anthem..
just saying...
What about the guy who gave the opening prayer? I guess half dollar wasn’t paying attention.
That may because the Amish just can’t leave the cars stock:
Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Gangster whitewalls tv antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you’ve got
Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene
With the gangster lean, gangster whitewalls
Tv antenna in the back
At the Undocumented Immigrant 500, do the cars jump up-and-down? ;^)
I’d say there was one too many....
I know that I do not get the whole NASCAR thing or even track and field events where the assignment and objective is the same.
I was just trying to recall his name but you beat me to it.
Maybe the NAACP needs to enter a car sponsored by Obamaphone.
"Damn, I don't see no black people lol," 50 Cent tweeted Sunday after arriving at Daytona International Speedway.Yeah Curtis James Jackson III, oops, I mean '50 Cent', and damn, I don't see 'no' white Cornerbacks in the NFL. Or 'no' white people at all your 'Historically Black (cough-racist) Colleges'.
Nor do I see 'no' white people living in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago any longer. And jackass I don't see 'no' white 'kids' going on flash-mob rampages down Michigan Ave in Chicago pillaging the stores like they were Visigoths sacking Rome in 410 AD. Furthermore Buckwheat, I don't see 'no' white people going on random killing sprees in Chicago every weekend like they were the Viking Savages that invaded England in the 790s AD.
Lastly Mr Jackson III, speaking of savages how's things in Rwanda? Are your people still 'going tribal' on each other? Gee, how very civilized that was of you black people. No go back the ghetto, you piece of trash.
ps: lol!
Nascar is run by folks who are falling all over themselves to bury all the cultural history of Nascar as deep in the cellar as possible. I’m not surprised they hired an idiot like this. I personally haven’t followed Nascar for over 10 years since it became dominated by mostly GQ sissies. I tuned in to get the finish of today’s race......and it sucked.
I’m just surprised that didn’t get Snoop Dogg.....whenever they feel like they need to show that they are “down” with the homies, that’s the guy they bring in.
funny, cause i’m pretty sure the opposite would be said at a rap concert
as for NASCAR fans, he may want to talk to 0bama... seems blacks in America have a radically high 17% unemployment rate and are probably unable to buy tickets.
hey, they wanted change...
When I wuz a kid, a neighbor who was a Champion Spark Plug salesman used to screen 16mm NASCAR movies in his garage on Saturdays for the local kiddies. I become less enamored of NASCAR when they started using cars with sheetmetal bonded to the roll cage instead of real production car bodies and when Detroit stopped making RWD V-8 powered cars. Now NASCAR is like Drag Racing's Funny Cars.
Yo Homie,
Did I hear you are out at NASCAR actually signing autographs?? (got a few white fans, huh?)
You see, there probably was black folks there, they just didn't bother coming around your sorry ass - for one of two reasons:
a) They actually came to see the race (not a racist)
b) It probably took more than 50 cents to have you there. And last I checked, folks from da hood don't like supporting...
wait for it...
... SELLOUTS.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Better bus some in! Force them to enjoy the races. Watermelon and chicken vendors will love it!
