Default Racial Slurs...

Why is it that this rule is only a sticky in the Southern section?

Because back in the day, a bunch of the guys got their jollies off calling each other names 24/7. Literally, every post, almost every word, was an insult. Lots of racial stuff got thrown around, so they locked it down.

DAYUMM !
I'm from the South & I've never heard some of those. Those must be yankee adjectives . I always heard that the yankee racist were a lot worse than those old timer's in the South.

The south does get a bad rap, kinda unfair because I have heard racial slurs used in every part of the country, so why single out the south, shouldnt be accepted in any forum section.

Nothing bad, they are people from northern Inda, some where Turbans which could be confused with Muslims, but they arent Muslims in faith, usually practice Sikh or Hinduism. People from India say worse things about them then any thing I have heard on a forum.

Bad thing is, most of the names I've been called were true.

No. If you think he is touchy then you're the touchy one. He is a sincere caring individual whose soul purpose to to strive for equal rights and fair treat amonst all races in the LSx community. I am sick of everyone in here calling him names and bashing him. Calling him self righteous and a sell out and an ingnorant piece of white trash. I simply will not stand for it anyomore. Blackdoodoo is my friend and co-pilot on this voyage for the proper treatment of all races.
