What a joke. I turned on Sportscenter this morning and saw this lovely black lady suing NASCAR for racial and sexual harassment. Whether or not she tells the truth in her lawsuit with her claims, I honestly don't know. Really, who does? However, the problem I have is her demanding $225 million dollars. Are you kidding me? This is a lady who was employed as a Nationwide (formerly Busch) Series official. Over the course of her career, I really doubt she could have made $225 million, and thus justify such a ridiculous sum of money based on potential lost earnings. Was her pain and suffering really worth that much money? People call me fat - should I get a quarter billion dollars? Unlikely.
The problem is twofold - people suing for the sake of digging for a buck. Second - I've had enough of black people pulling the race card, when the reality is race in this country is on a sharp decline. We are about to elect a half black president. There are few barriers for hard working folks, black - white - asian - latino in this country to become successful, and I'm fed up with people holding onto a race card as an excuse to hide their shortcomings or to advance careers. Failures in life are part of living the American experience, not a reason to call Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to help you make a couple hundred million dollars.
