Who cares?
So, another black wants to be the first black to break the color barrier. Well he's not because if you read the story there have been others before him, and Who cares if he is the first Black ,fist Chinese, first Italian or whatever., it's just Nascar(As if it is an achievement to be a race car driver).. You know Lester why don't you go be the first of something that will benefit all people instead of just your selfish black skin. Loser. And don't call me racist when it is he who brought up his skin color. I'm sorry that I may sound harsh in this post , but seriously fvck this guyand his dreams. It is not newsworthy.

I find it funny that white people are always the ones who bitch about people bringing up skin color. Face it - you're white, and privledged, and don't ever have the burden of being aware of your race on a daily basis.

Until you are a minority, you'll likely never understand what it's like to live as a minority in a society where white culture is the norm.

Ok so him wanting to race in Nascar is a benefit to Blacks. Sure pal anything you say. His racing in Nascar is a benefit to Lester's not blacks or any other race for that matter. So get th #%@* out of here with you r black apologism.

ps I am a minority asshvle, a minority of one.

Maybe so - but fat and ugly people aren't races of people.

I think it's important for minorities in disadvantaged positions to see fellow minorities succeed in life - there's a basic need for role models in the black community. For him to be successful in a white sport is a good thing.

You might not care, but I'm sure many other people out there do.

Good point, I don't care about him or his selfish dreams but the issue I do care about. Boy Bill Lester is the first famous "Black Nascar Driver". Thats what I don't care about.

I may be missing somthing, but "boy?" I hope that was just unintelligible like the rest of your post and not what it sounds like.

If you're going to post about something like this, it's in your best interest to choose your words carefully.

<<<------- is a minority but don't really care for the role model crap.

IF YOU want something bad enough, YOU HAVE to work for it ON YOUR OWN. Stop crying and blaming on others. It is YOUR life, it is YOUR responsibilty.

Edit: I came to the US with nothing, not even a penny but I made it. If I can do it, anyone with a sound mind and a DETERMINATION can too.

All Minorities, or just blacks. "Fellow minorities"is that a eupemism for my "black brothers" He is not disadvantaged he was an executive who quit to race cars. He got bored. get off of yopur soapbox.

Edit: How exactly is he making NASCAR history though?

Try explaining that to a young black kid who sees nobody of his race in a particular field - how do you expect someone to be ambitious about advancing themselves when the perception is that he can't?

Your tokenism isn't going to help him.
