Move to diversify NASCAR

So according to this article, blacks will only watch NASCAR if there is a black driver (and presumably they will root for this guy). And they will buy a certain car if it is represented by a black driver. Sounds like racism to me, imagine if the races were reversed.

If Bill Lester is a good driver than he deserves a shot, but he doesn't deserve a shot just because he is black (as this article seems to suggest).

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

I usually pull for the Fords.

You don't see many blacks participating in any motor sports. Different strokes for different folks...

You could get banned for that...(buy it's not my site)

My response is who cares! I think the only reason that people like NASCAR is the crashes. Not because of one race. People want to see the crashes!

[dighton]

Hmmm, something went wrong with your links.

This should work.

I don't see how NASCAR can have an affirmative action program. If you are no good you will die.

I agree that NASCAR needs some diversity. A Japanese guy driving a Honda Accord covered with decals for various producers of home electronics and camera equipment would be perfect.

This would diversify NASCAR

[eddie willers]

Put Herschel Walker in a car and Georgians will come out in droves.

[ZOOKER]

Does Hoosier make gangsta whitewalls?

[goodnesswins]

Sooooo.....then, I think they need to diversify FOOTBALL....seems there are TOO many Blacks on the teams....

[goodnesswins]

Oh, And Basketball, too, needs more of whitey.

[ikka]

So what happens when they push to qualify sub-standard affirmative action drivers, and those guys promptly get themselves killed?

Put Herschel Walker in a car and Georgians will come out in droves.

Shee-it. Put a Hershey's Kisses in a car and Georgians will come out in droves. Ya ever been to Atlanta Motor Speedway the week of a NASCAR race?
