Billionaire Formula one car racing boss, Bernie Ecclestone has
said “in many cases black people are more racist than white people".
He told CNN, that the fight for equality in F1 has never
been taken seriously because there is too much of an emphasis on "winning
races and findings sponsors".
But Ecclestone applauded Lewis Hamilton’s stance on racism,
but insists the sport does not have a problem with racism.
"Lewis is a little bit special. First, he's very,
very, very talented as a driver and he seems to be now extremely talented
when's he standing up and can make speeches.
"This last campaign he's doing for black people is
wonderful. He's doing a great job and it's people like that -- easily
recognisable -- that people listen to."
"I don't think it's going to do anything bad or good
for Formula One. It'll just make people think which is more important. I think
that's the same for everybody. People
ought to think a little bit and think: 'Well, what the hell. Somebody's not the
same as white people and black people should think the same about white people.
"In lots of cases, black people are more racist than
what white people are."
