[QUOTE="civicmindedex79, post: 456626, member: 2024"] Popular opinion or not I agree with what John is doing/trying to accomplish with this thread. With that said.....I honestly believe that it is the attitude or demeanor of the person no matter what race that makes this what it is. I also have been asked several times by a couple of black friends when we have said something about coming to an event/ride "Are you sure a black man can goto these events?" I always tell them the same thing. "It is no different than being in public. Sure you may hear something that doesn't sit well with you but hell how many of the same people black/white/mexican/whatever don't stand at the bottom of the hill talking about dumbass rednecks and such?" That is what I mean by the attitude/demeanor of the person plays the biggest part. A not so good example but all the same was we was watching videos of a race/event at work and the whole phrase (that was brought up earlier) was plainly heard many times. A black guy I worked with while watching the video laughed his ass off and said "white power is right look at that white bitch go". His demeanor/attitude was that the buggy was powdered white and had a powerful motor. I won't lie all of us kinda looked at each other and was wondering where it was going when he said that but he was laughing and having a good time. So at this point if anyone was being racist it was us with our thoughts not him. My second point on the same subject is if any of you have ever been to Wheelin and met Anthony (big black) you know what I mean. He could care less about what is going on and all this stupid race stuff. His demeanor/attitude has always been much better than 90% of the other people there. We all know no matter how we feel that IF some of the post made here got out it would greatly effect this forum as well as our sport/hobby. Sometimes for the better good is time to make small changes to grow and move forward. Thanks JohnG for all your time and dedication to this forum. [/QUOTE]
