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. For someone who preaches about prejudice and stereotype, that's the pot calling the kettle, um, black.

You Said

I would say that Spike Lee is a cause of prejudice and stereotypes. And not the good ones either.

But if you follow their logic, Blacks and other minorities can't be prejudiced, because they're the victiiiiims.

He does have a point about Kobe though. No team would pass on him because of his legal problems as long as he could perform on the court.

I'm not black and I don't go to NASCAR events. Does that make me a bigot?
