NASCAR was our pro sport, I was pretty much the only black kid on my block and actually one of the few kids that watched NASCAR. Today, I go to every race I can attend, I work in the gift shop at Las Vegas Motor Speedway & still love NASCAR & all forms of racing now as much as I did back then....

      “You’re the only black person that watches NASCAR”.

      Over twenty years ago MTV had a True Life episode about Black NASCAR fans. They asked one of the "Stereotypical NASCAR Fan" his thoughts on even a Black driver being successful. His respons was along the lines of "I think they would have a better luck racing in a Lexus." No matter how far NASCAR progresses with fan demographics, they will still, UNDESERVINGLY carry that burden.

    • @cypher50
      @cypher50 Рік тому +2

      In the United States, as with anything about black history, there was a large amount of discrimination with both black drivers and fans in the past. Especially in NASCAR since its roots are in the Southeastern United States where the most racial strife has historically occurred.
      I would suggest listening to Donut Media's Past Gas podcast episode on Wendell Scott as that is one of the more recent discussions I've heard where they really encapsulate how many hurdles a LEGENDARY driving talent had to overcome just because of skin color. If Wendell Scott was treated so abhorrently and he was that good, other drivers and fans didn't have a chance up till the last few decades to enjoy the sport without continued pressure from racist fans and even racists within NASCAR. And it isn't just NASCAR: the Indy 500 itself has a history of banning black drivers in its history and doing everything it can to make it hard to give black drivers a chance (see Willy T. Ribbs and all the struggles he went through).
      To this day, there are plenty of people in the US and elsewhere who somehow think that black people somehow don't like motorsports so I appreciate this segment even though it doesn't address WHY there is such a large disconnect between the black community and racing in the US.

    As a casual member of the international audience, I have to admit I didn't know NASCAR was a racist sport. It just seems such an abstract notion to worry about such a thing as a sportspersons race in sports that I hadn't even considered this. I can see I've been ignorant. I would never support racism or any racist enterprise. IIts up to us as individuals to demand better than this. Racist society has been on notice for some time as not acceptable. I should have been more vigilant to that fact that as the last few years of American history has shown, not all society has advanced sufficiently yet. While I love racing and I think NASCAR is awesome and highly skillful racing, this is not acceptable to me, and I would not support any sport or any enterprise that has a racist ethos.
