Good ole Spike

Spike Lee says he'll never attend a Nascar event because he doesn't think he'd like the music:

"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."

Now I'm no Nascar fan, or a country & western music fan for that matter. In fact, I can probably count the number of people I know who do like these things on one hand. But this smells a bit like blatant stereotyping to me, something the black community has fought against for centuries in this country. And I don't think it smells very nice no matter which direction it's coming from. Has Spike Lee ever spent any amount of time listening to country music? Because I didn't think that racist violence was a general theme.

Maybe this angry little black man would change his mind if he actually spent some time listening to some country classics. Like I said, I haven't heard much myself, but sometimes the country titles alone provide a fair amount of amusement. Here are some of my favorites:
