bigway 4 #10 June 12, 2007 Fuck, how did he manage to steal a Formula 1 car and win a race with it?On a serious note, It has always been one of those things said that a black guy would never win a forumla 1 grand prix so good on him. It ihas now been done and will no longer be said so i think that is an excellent thing. For people who want to bash me about my entry joke, It was a joke, same sort of joke i bet you hear Chris Tucker stand up on stage and joke about in the near future. It was a joke and i am not racist. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigway 4 #12 June 12, 2007 I bet if a black man wins the presidents office in the states the whole world will be saying he is the first black president. It is an achievent for their race so there should be no problem with anyone commenting on it. Maybe if a black man becomes the president of the united states the national anthem maight get a new beat to it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People want to be free of racism, yet those very people are the first to point out race as a factor. Most of those people are either within that genre themselves, or some politically-sensitive-PC type (typically liberal).So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

No he's not JUST a good car driver he is another RARE example of highly successful minorities in a predominately white culture. Another RARE icon for young children of minorities to look up to with a possible sense of ambition. When the only success you see in life looks completely different to you, it can and does stifle ambition. Good on him, he is a shining example.Now watch a bunch of fucktards come along and piss all over it.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

Gawain 0 #21 June 12, 2007 Quote Another RARE icon for young children of minorities to look up to with a possible sense of ambition. There is no shortage of minority sport/athletic/public icons in this world. I could argue that an equal or better ambition story could be written about Michael Jordan, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Carl Lewis or Jesse Owens to name a few... Quote Now watch a bunch of fucktards come along and piss all over it. I'm not pissing all over it. In fact, it's the gratuitous blathering about the color of his skin that diminishes his accomplishment. Formula 1 racing is, in my book, the second toughest series of racing (after Rally Car Racing). Assuming that the car itself can withstand the race to begin with, it is all about the driver. The BBC has a very good take on his performance: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/6739951.stm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigway 4 #24 June 12, 2007 Do you think it is a good thing that one of the richest sports in the world finally had a black man win the race? This makes me remember when the springboks had a black winger. The only black guy on the team. He was so good that they now have many black men playing for the team. I think things like this open up more opportunities for a black man in the western world. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
