David Letterman's Top 10 reasons why there are no black NASCAR drivers:

# 10 - Have to sit upright while driving.

# 9 - Pistol won't stay under front seat.

# 8 - Engine noise drowns out the rap music.

# 7 - Pit crew can 't work on car while holding up pants at the same time.

# 6 - They keep trying to carjack Dale Earnhardt Jr.

# 5 - Police cars on track interfere with race.

# 4 - No passenger seat for the Ho.

# 3 - No Cadillacs approved for competition.

# 2 - When they crash their cars, they bail out & run.

AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY BLACKS CAN'T BE IN NASCAR...


# 1 - They Can't wear their helmets sideways.

That's terrible. That's not a real David Letterman top 10, and even if
it was it shouldn't be repeated here. I don't know why you posted
that, but it has no purpose other than perpetuating a number of
stereotypes that don't need to be further confirmed through a childish
list like this. Not all black people are criminals, you should try and
read this again and think about how you'd feel if someone posted
something similar about white people or Newfoundlanders or whatever
you self-identify as.

I can't speak for everyone, but I would say most people here would
have a good laugh if it was about Newfoundlanders. I'd say someone is
working on the Top 10 list as we speak.

Danimal's Top 10 reason why Kevin don't like the Top 10 list

"drum roll please"......................

#10 He spends most of his days wishing for any sense of humour.

#9 His friends laughed at his first and last attempt to do stand-up comedy
because he even got rejected to perform outside Yuk-Yuks on the curb on
amateur night.

#8 no one laughs at his dry jokes around the water cooler or office parties.

#7 He thinks photocopying his white pimply ass and faxing it to his
co-workers is hilarious.

#6 He pulled the legs of too many spiders when he was a kid.

#5 Kevin is really Conan O'Brien pretending to be David Letterman and really
wishes he were Leno.

#4 he's a failing NF white rapper, calls himself "ah wigga" and sucks just
like vanilla ice.

#3 he only knows all the knock-knock jokes.

#2 Spent too much time listening to sleepy Jim Furlong and his "This Day In
History".

............"And the #1 reason why Kevin don't like the Top 10
List........................................................

He's the strange looking one in the corner, cracking up at "Laughter is the
Best Medicine" from "Readers Digest" at the doctors office.

I'd say you are right-

For Kevin

Danimal's Top 10 List why there are No Newfoundland NASCAR drivers.

Drum Roll Please..................

#10 Too many drivers stopping and asking for directions after a few laps.

#9 Can't find the off ramp.

#8 No Tim Horton's Coffee shops along the way.

#7 The pit crew are always flagging down other drivers and trying to sell
them hub caps and seal flippers.

#6 Drivers refuse to wear seat belts and get off the cell phone.

#5 Unruly youngsters won't sit down and get out of the back window.

#4 Drivers refuse to pull over and change out their studded tires.

#3 Drivers won't stop calling in to Open Line and complaining to Randy Simms
because police aren't passing out tickets for constant tail gating,
speeding, passing on inside or outside without using indicators.

#2 Drivers stopping along the track to look for beer bottles.

............And the number 1 reason why there are no Newfoundland NASCAR
drivers...................................

Too fast............,Too many god damned moose!!!

Relax YM,
I did not write it and it's hardly rascist or prejudicial. It's just a
satirical view and nothing more. There is not one sentence in that entire
post that has anything to do with or promoting hatred against any one
individual or hardly a full race of people.
People have gotten far too sensitive when it comes to black people. It would
be no different than the post saying Top 10 reasons why pedophile preists
don't make good baby sitters. Does that mean all preists are pedophile? How
about top 10 reasons why Chinese people eat dogs and rats? Its the same
thing. Not all Chinese eat dogs and rats, the french eating horses, the
scots screwing sheep or the dumb blonde chick who never gets a break from
anyone.
How about Top 10 reasons why there are no midget pole vaulters in the
olympics?
The answer is obvious and satirical without insulting or becoming racist
against little people with birth defects.
You see my point?
I see no harm in poking fun at any one portion of any population AND OR RACE
of people whose habits, profile, fads and lifestyle, more or less "BY THEIR
OWN CHOICE" clashes with something simple, totally unrelated AND INNOCENT as
sport.

Try these on...

Top 10 reasons why there are no NASCAR drivers from Newfoundland and
Labrador:

10) The windows in stock cars are not big enough for them to fit their
asses through

9) They don’t sell pull tab tickets in the pits

8) They create too many yellow flags by throwing garbage out the
window

7) Nobody would want to interview them because they would spend too
much time whining about the price of gas and blaming Quebec when they
lose

6) Cavaliers and Sunfires are not accepted NASCAR models

5) They refuse to comply with the mandatory helmet regulation

4) Rubber boots are not NASCAR approved footwear

3) Can't reach full speed because empty beer bottles keep rolling
under the gas pedal

2) they don't know how to merge when coming out of the pit lane

and the number 1 reason why there are no NASCAR races from
Newfoundland and Labrador...

1) They would quit after 10 laps and wait for the government finish
the race for them

;)

A better top 10 would be "The Top 10 reasons why no one should ever
watch NASCAR".

I disagree, prejudicial probably, bigoted maybe, but not at all
racist. All that post does is point out certain well known
habits and proclivities of a particular group of people. It does
not advocate in any way that the group is superior or inferior to
other groups based on race alone.

Yes, very strange, because that is closer to being racist than
what Danimal wrote.

The only reason people believe in stereotypes and racism is through people
like yourself that create issues with non issues. Most Newfoundlanders would
have a ball and laugh at a "newfie" top ten. You need to grow up and move on
in life, live life, don't live to complain about it!!!

WOW are people way too sensitive. You seem worse then most. I'd
personally love to see a newfie top 10 list. I can laugh at myself. I
realise this was not something a network would air. Too afraid I
guess. If this one really bothered you then you should maybe avoid the
rest of the internet. You may not like some of it.
