Bill Lester is the first black guy to race in Nascar’s top event in 20 years. Poor guy, people care more about his skin color than racing ability.

At a press conference he joked "I don’t look different than most Nascar drivers, do I?" to which people chuckled and clapped. Clapped? "Yay, you’re black, most Nascar drivers are white, let’s all clap!"

His wife then talked about how he needed to find sponsors, but it’s been surprisingly difficult (because who would ever sponsor a black man!). They then showed footage of his sponsored car, and race suit covered in sponsors. Difficult huh? I blame it on all the diversity brain-washing being shoved down our throats in college. Celebrating diversity is total crap. Doesn’t the guy feel totally slighted? If people got excited about me because my skin is white I’d be pissed off. "That guy is white! Yippy. Oh, and he’s a teacher too."

That’s three things tonight that have gotten on my nerves. I need some Larry Elder.

Politics bill lester, larry elder, nascar drivers, skin color

I’m done. Golf clap for blacks (and whites, latinos, asians, eskimos and Ellen Degeneres). let’s all move on.

From Urban Dictionary:

Originally, “golf clap” was used to mean a sarcastic applause, for example the kind of applause that is given when someone drops their food tray in a cafeteria.

1. An exaggeratedly quiet clapping intended as a show of sarcastic support or disdain.

c.f. the quiet clapping sound heard on televised golf tournament coverage. Due to the distance between the microphone and the crowd, the golf clap sounds like a nearby crowd of people clapping at minimal volume.

1. He dropped his fully-loaded cafeteria tray, breaking all the dishes. Naturally, we gave him a golf clap.

2. We cheered Sue as she crossed the marathon’s finish line 8 days later with a hearty golf clap.

So as not to offend all of The Blarg’s Black readers I was not conveying a show of sarcastic support or disdain (well, maybe for Ellen). I prefer the definition, “unenthusiastic applause” or “courtesy clap,” like a courtesy laugh.
