Yesterdays F1 race
Nerenber... Newerbur... Nuebuger... Uh, yesterdays race!


When Hammy is ready to retire he should do well in NASCAR... of course there will be a long time before that happens.

Never happen. An English black man in NASCAR?

Hey, if JPM can't do it right off along with countless others, Hammy should stay away.

I was gonna call Hamilton an African American but that don't work.

In his first F1 season he was referred to as an African American at least one time.

His father was born in Grenada, which is in the Caribbean. His mother was born in England, as was he.
Now how does that have anything to do with the continent of Africa?

Where do you think the inhabitants of Grenada came from?

No. The English and French bought African slaves to The Caribbean... which includes Grenada and Jamaica among others.

Using that logic regarding the term African American, the majority of Amercan's would be English Amercian or French American - but you don't see that phrase used at all.

Hambone is English - period. No need to define it further.

nope, hambone is an african carribeaner.
as far as doing well in NASCAR, it depends alot on chemistry within the team. that is why jimmie johnson is called 5 time. he has a tight team around him and they know how to get it done together.
Montoya can be fast at times, but the team is not there to do it consistently.
If hamilton came in to NASCAR he would have to work at team building and gaining respect. maybe after a couple years he might win a race on an oval.

So just completly deny your African hertiage? As if you have no father, only a mother?
