Maurice Grant entered into the world of Nascar, as a black woman in a white male dominated sport. As reported by Fox news according to Nascar spokesman Ramsey Poston, Nascar claims to be fully "committed to the spirit and letter of affirmative action law."NASCAR provides equal opportunity employment to job candidates and employees without regard to race, religion, creed, age, gender, or any other characteristic protected by law. Personnel decisions are made based on factors such as performance and adherence to corporate policy."

That declaration, came as a surprise to Ms.Grant I am sure, who claims to have been subjected to racial, and sexual harassment. She filed suit on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

  • This is actually bad for black people, it gives the impression that you just can't fire them without claims of racism. Going forward companies just won't hire any. Just look at wall street, you have a few token black people and nothing more, most black people working on wall street are security.

  • "While riding in the backseat of her carpool at Talladega Superspeedway, co-workers told her to duck as they passed race fans. "I don't want to start a riot when these fans see a black woman in my car," she claims one official said. "

    She should have sent this one to the press as soon as it happened. Heads should roll.

  • What are you talking about? "You just can't fire them without claims of racism"? A very ignorant comment indeed. So lemme guess, in your mind, all blacks in this country tout the racism flag when fired from a mostly white work force? Stop being a tool and listening to the media. Do you actually KNOW any black people? Have you actually HAD any in depth conversations with black people?
    Most IMPORTANTLY did you EVEN take to time out to read the pure wretched, ugliness this woman had to endure?

    "Going forward companies just won't hire any"

    LMFAO. Thats gotta be the most obtuse comment I've read all week.
