[COLOR=Red][I]"Jesse Jackson says NASCAR should feature more African-American drivers because 'negroes can drive cars fast.'"[/I][/COLOR]
[I]Sure they can. Just watch "COPS".[/I]
[B][URL=http://www.cnsnews.com//ViewSpecialReports.asp?Page=%5CSpecialReports%5Carchive%5C200407%5CSPE20040701a.html]Jesse Jackson to NASCAR: 'Negroes Can Drive Cars Fast'[/URL][/B] By Marc Morano CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer July 01, 2004
[B]Chicago (CNSNews.com)[/B] - Jesse Jackson says NASCAR should feature more African-American drivers because "negroes can drive cars fast."
Jackson made the remarks on Tuesday at a NASCAR-sponsored sports luncheon at the 33rd Annual Rainbow/PUSH Coalition conference in Chicago.
"One thing I know, negroes can drive cars fast," Jackson said to laughter. "I mean, we go through red lights, even [drive] at night with our lights off. We can drive cars fast," he asserted from the podium.
NASCAR's sponsorship of the sports luncheon at this week's conference is contrary to previous reports indicating that NASCAR had ended its financial support of Jackson and his organizations in 2003 because of negative public pressure.
By 2003, NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) had reportedly given a total of $250,000 to the Rainbow/PUSH sports division, generating criticism from conservative groups and racing fans, who saw the money as appeasement. But at this week's conference, NASCAR had nothing but positive things to say about Jesse Jackson.
George Pyne, NASCAR's vice president of marketing, told the crowd at Tuesday's sports luncheon, "I would like to thank Reverend Jackson and the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition for being positive catalysts for change. It is an honor to be here today."
Pyne left no doubt that NASCAR was currently supporting Jackson.
"To the extent that Rainbow/PUSH is committed to making NASCAR more diverse, we support them," Pyne said in an interview with CNSNews.com following the luncheon.
Pyne was unequivocal in his defense of NASCAR's decision to support Jackson.
"I would point out that there are a number of Fortune 500 companies that support Rainbow/PUSH and every other major sport America supports, or a number of major sports entities, support Rainbow PUSH," Pyne said.
"We certainly would think that we would want to be in step with the other sports and corporations in America, and it's consistent with how we approach the business," he added.
[B]'NASCAR fans will be appalled'[/B]
One person not happy about NASCAR's embrace of Jackson is Peter Flaherty of the conservative National Legal and Policy Center. In 2003, Flaherty launched a campaign to end NASCAR's support of Jackson because of Jackson's anti-war rhetoric and past financial dealings with corporations.
"Despite the expression of opposition from thousands of NASCAR's fans last year to NASCAR's support of Jackson, it looks like NASCAR is now fully embracing him" Flaherty, the president of the Virginia-based legal group, told CNSNews.com on Wednesday.
"I believe they are making a mistake and I believe that many, many NASCAR fans will be appalled at this new development," he added.
[B]'Morally right'[/B]
Pyne couched NASCAR's support of Jackson in righteous terms. "We believe what we are doing is morally right and good for the business," he said.
"Everybody may not agree every single time with who we support, but that is what America is all about," he added.
Pyne declined to disclose how much NASCAR had contributed to Jackson this year. The NASCAR-sponsored luncheon was attended by about 500 people.
"I am not going to get into specifics of what our support is with specific organizations. We support many, many, many civil rights organizations and other organizations committed to making NASCAR more diverse," Pyne explained.
When asked about Rainbow/PUSH board member Bill Shack's comments at last year's conference that auto-racing organizations such as NASCAR were 'the last bastion of white supremacy," Pyne defected the criticism.
"I can't speak to what other people say. What I can tell you is every American is welcome at NASCAR. So we are here to talk about positive things," Pyne said.
Jackson's Rainbow Sports Director Charles Farrell later defended Shack's comments, telling CNSNews.com that in 2003, even NASCAR conceded "there is a perception that stock car racing is a good ole' boy's southern redneck cracker sport."
For his part, Shack seemed to back away from his own harsh rhetoric of last year.
"[NASCAR] appear[s] to be moving in the right direction. They appear to have an attitudinal shift. I think that they are making progress," Shack said following Tuesday's luncheon.
[B]'Cultural fear based upon ancient myths'[/B]
Jackson was upbeat about NASCAR and the motor sports diversity effort.
"There is no longer the kind of cultural fear based upon ancient myths. Everyone sees inclusion leads to growth," Jackson told [B]CNSNews.com[/B].
"What I am most impressed with in regards to NASCAR is the drivers are so open to black drivers," he added.
According to Jackson, now that NASCAR is firmly in the Rainbow/PUSH camp, the next effort is going to involve challenging the corporate sponsors of motor sports to finance minority drivers.
"It is not resistance by NASCAR now, it is now meeting with corporations that engage in diversity in other areas -- supplier diversity, employment diversity-- but many of them have zero by their name in race car investment," Jackson explained.
NASCAR series team owner Sam Belnavis said NASCAR really only cares about one color in the final analysis.
"The key to NASCAR is green. It has nothing to do with race, color, creed," Belnavis said, referring to the sports desire to be profitable.
[B]'Lost touch'[/B]
Flaherty of the NLPC says NASCAR's enthusiastic support of Jackson is out of step with the motor sports fans.
'It says to me that NASCAR has completely lost touch with the average NASCAR fan who is NASCAR's customer," he said.
Former NFL great Reggie White also pressured NASCAR in 2003 to stop funding Jackson when he accused Jackson \ul \ulnone of wasting the $250,000 given to him by the racing organization.
"It's really disappointing to me that Jesse and his organization would take a quarter of a million dollars from NASCAR and not do anything with it to try to get black drivers into the sport," White said in an interview on FOX News Channel's Fox & Friends in July 2003.
White is involved in his own motor sports minority outreach program with NFL Coach Joe Gibbs. Gibbs is also the owner of the Joe Gibbs Racing team.
Flaherty did applaud NASCAR's minority outreach programs that did not involve Jackson.
"I am encouraged that NASCAR is working with other prominent African-Americans like [former Republican Congressman] JC Watts to reach out to minorities," Flaherty said.
"But as long as NASCAR is bankrolling Jesse Jackson, there is going to be controversy," he cautioned.

Nascar has been trying very hard to get more blacks into the sport. Got to get rid of all those white faces.
Tell Nascar if they want to make a racial issue of the sport, you'll stop supporting Nascar events.

I quit paying attention to NASCAR a good while ago. It used to be like that great barbecue joint in some small town in the Carolinas or Georgia. Now it is more like McDonalds or Burger King. It's culturally DEAD. In other words, NASCAR has been JUDEIZED. Instead of real men with class like Cale Yarbough, Richard Petty, and David Pearson, we got sissies chasing a dollar bill down the street like Jeff Gordon and Earnhardt Jr.

The very fact that it is no longer mocked as a redneck cracker sport indicates that it has been completely co-opted by the Establishment. Now it will be used in the service of the destruction of the white Christian West.
You are right about Jeff Gordon and Earnhardt Jr., too. Gordon briefly dated Britney Spears, the teenage wonderslut, and Jr was on MTV Cribs, for Pete's sake.

I wanted to vomit.

random NASCAR musings:
---I imagine NASCAR's marketeers and PR folk wince everytime they're obligated to interview a twanging/drawling southern veteran like Bill Elliott, Sterling Marlin or Ward Burton. Now if only they can persuade Dale Jr. to talk more like 'lil Jeffy.
---Regarding Jr., it gets even worse. Did anyone happen to catch him on the cover of a hiphop/rap/soul magazine last year? Replete in his baggy superwigger FUBU splendor???
---Here in Indy, home of the nation's largest annual (crime ridden) Black Expo, jealous local blacks refer to the Brickard 400 as "White Expo".
---Jeff Gordon is not a "Hoosier". He lived the first 15 years of his life in California, then moved to Indiana to race on dirt tracks and attend High School for a couple years. Why he claims to be some kind of native son is a mystery.
---Expect to see Toyotas running within 2 years, as well as a common motor and body style for all makes

He is the perfect foil for the Jews and the Roundhead children of Oliver Cromwell to use as a tool to destroy another truly white Southern working class institution. He is a deracinated, culturally franchised, soulless hollow man in a white skin.
I remember watching one of the two races they had each year at Darlington on the televitz sometime back in the 70s. I think it was the Rebel 400 (can you imagine NASCAR's new Jew masters allowing this today?). The great British Grand Prix driver, Jackie Stewart, was the color man for the broadcast. It was a great race with Petty, Cale, and I think a young Darrell Waltrip on each other's bumper and jockeying to pass and just showing unbelievable driving skills as they traded paint with each other going into those narrow turns there. Stewart commented in that Brit accent of his that " these fellows are absolutely the greatest motor car drivers that the world has ever seen." I took it then as a case of the man from the Old Country taking up for his unfairly reviled blood kin in the face of a hostile world. And I was just filled with pride and gratitude at the time for Stewart. I still am. I don't think Jackie would say that today about the jew tools that pass for racers.

Let's also remember that Britney Spears "trusts our President" [Jorge Bush], and backs him 100%...and of course W. also likes to court the NASCAR crowd when he's putting on his "common man" routine (when he's not speaking to wealthy elites assuring them that they're "his base").

It's official: NASCAR is now 100% Grade-A Shit. Yeah, they've gone Mainstream now, jack: Time to coo nauseatingly about the Wonders of Diversity, and to fellate Big Jesse, lest he organize his monkeys for a boycott. Time to ditch that embarrassing baccer-chawin', shine-runnin' redneck goober image once and for all - turns those coveted Yankee-Left Coast "upscale" fans right off.
Look for Nicholson, Woody Allen & brown dwarf Spike Lee to show up at Daytona....
As for Earnhardt Jr., he is a loathsome sac of whigger pus. I didn't know he'd sank so low as to tell fans to leave the Confederate flags at home. Let's hope he gets a 200 M.P.H. "lancing" very soon.
