Coming up Next on O'Reilly on Fox- Je$$e and NASCAR. W'ats Up with dat?

[NormsRevenge]

Why is NASCAR refusing to comment why it gives money (6 figures ) to Je$$e?

[NormsRevenge]

Peter Flaherty from National Legal and Policy Center is questioning why NASCAR wants to have it both ways.

ie. How can they support our troops and support JeSSe and his "troops" who protested the Iraq war?

[TomServo]

Hush money...

[NormsRevenge]

Could be.. Are blacks discriminated against and prevented from competing on the NASCAR circuits?

I think Rodney King should be running in the Busch series at least. He can fly!!!

Quote below from an ESPN article found on Google:

"Jackson also got NASCAR to form a diversity council, develop an internship program at historically black colleges, and take part in a program that will expose minority youths in Philadelphia to auto racing."

Aw crap. I already bought my tickets for Charlotte for this year, but I'm not going next year. I can't believe they didn't even put up a fight.

[freedumb2003]

a program that will expose minority youths in Philadelphia to auto racing

Yeah, they can learn to take the hubcaps at full speed.

[winodog]

Now NASCAR will have to let a black driver win a race.
The cat is out of the bag.
They let dale jr win so they might as well start sponsering a asian, indian, mexican, black, etc, etc, race and win.

[TomServo]

Are blacks discriminated against and prevented from competing on the NASCAR circuits?

Jack$on thinks they are. Of course, Jack$on never misses a chance to chase an unearned and unwarranted buck or two.

[NormsRevenge]

Mustn;t forget the Middle Easterners!

NASCAMEL ;-)

[freedomcrusader]

No kidding. Jr. wrecked in that massive accident on lap 4 (or was it lap 9), pitted 12 times, had a fender-repair strip flapping in the wind for a few laps (no black flag, but if it had been, say Kenny Schraeder, you know HE would have been black flagged), never got the fender back into perfect shape, and wins the race where aerodynamics count the most. Uh-uh. "The greatest drivers always find a way to win". Sure.

I am so sick and freakin tired of any corporation or organization bowing at the feet of this sick racist cretin.

Since NASCAR sees fit to support this Black Trash, they're just gonna have to do without my financial support. I will not spend one more red cent on a ticket nor NASCAR merchandise.

And that fat a$$ NA$CAR idiot can kiss this fan goodbye.

Jesse Jackson should have no moral authority over anyone and yet NASCAR thumbs it's nose at the people that brung em to the dance and sends the very dollars you and I spend to this anti-american socialist race baiting anti-christian value JERK!!!

There, I feel better now......but I still hate him and I hate what NASCAR is becoming.

P.S. Get ready for the "rap" version of the National Anthem.

[pnz1]

Who was on from NASCAR?

[caisson71]

I think Je$$e is upset because NASCAR uses only black tires. I fully expect NASCAR to start demanding that white tires share the load too. After all, why should the black tires do all the work. Immediately thereafter, NASCAR will allow a Lexus to win a few races.

[NormsRevenge]

No one. Per Bill, when contacted, the response from the Public Relations rep was "No comment."

This is a very lengthy article. There's some mention of NASCAR towards the bottom.

[winodog]

You left out the part where he passed below the yellow line which sends everyone else down a lap. But the one that got me was when he won the race his dad died in. His car blew by everyone everytime he needed to then he would slow down to keep from lapping everyone.
It was so obvious and I lost a lot of respect.

I love NASCAR because of the invocation and the strong pro america stance but they will probaly blow it. I can live with them giving a advantage to one make of car now and then. That has been going on for some time and they cant get it perfect. Real strange how when they put restrictor plates on all the carbs DEI blows everyone away.

"...a program that will expose minority youths in Philadelphia to auto racing."

Just have Philly take down all speed limit signs...
