[QUOTE="Beerj, post: 547714, member: 10035"] [b]Re: Random Thoughts[/b] I'm one of the least politically correct people around, but no matter how you want to justify it, at face value it could easily be considered racist. Context is everything. And unfortunately, face value can be influenced by preconceived notions of intent based on the atmosphere which it existed. In this case, it was posted on a forum inhabited by mostly white men that live south of the Mason Dixon line. Not that there's not a stereotypical assimilation between southern folks and racism which isn't entirely true but again, at face value, it lends itself to the scrutiny of those who may be more sensitive to the issue at hand. As offroading progresses and people keep searching for the next big thing in tech etc, more and more google searches will point people this way. I think it only benifits everyone that it's not known as "that place" and keeps vendors, builders and other contributing members here without apprehension. I feel John is proud of this place and treats it as a child. And in true parental fashion, is guiding it away from self-destructive behaviors. Or not... [/QUOTE]
