From the "ignorance is no excuse" department...

New York Daily News
Spike's pointed remark

Don't go looking for Spike Lee at any NASCAR events this summer.

The ornery movie director and Knicks fanatic nurses a paranoid fantasy about the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing circuit.

"I just imagine hearing some country-and-Western song over a loudspeaker at NASCAR: 'Hang them n-- up high! Hang them n-- up high!' I'm not going to no NASCAR," Lee vows in the August issue of Playboy.


Wow...considering that evertime I go to a race, all i hear is 3 Doors Down, Blink 182, John Mayer, Kid Rock, etc., I think that he is WAY off base. Now, i know there are probably some people who still think the way Spike describes, and some of them are probably at those races...but... those people are everywhere, unfortunately. Hell, in the fraternity I am involved with, they exist. And it still is going to take a while before that mentality to totally gone. If it ever does go away. Im sure their will always be someone somewhere thinking that sort of stuff...

..and they will get left behind.
