This site validates all the above by not eliminating any and all Racism , Bigotry , Gender abuse and making degrading comments toward woman.
Not that I disagree with most of the post - especially the sentiment that there are much more acceptable ways of calling out stupidity that don’t involve bringing race/nationality/religion/sexual orientation or gender into the conversation- but the problem with most people who drive a vehicle like this is simply you start using big fancy words towards them - they aren’t smart enough to realize they are being insulted and may mistakenly think you are complimenting their truck.
The forum didn’t originate hate speech and censoring it doesn’t make it go away - in fact just like saying your going to outlaw a weapon - it makes people irrationally believe they are correct in hanging on to it and further defending their “right” to hold on to it.
Just look at the idiots hanging on to the confederate battle flag. Somehow they have convinced themselves it’s a “tribute” to the side that last battle 150 years ago and riding around with one on the back of a truck that looks like what’s described here is “honoring” the South. Pretty sure if you brought some plantation owner to life from 150 years ago and showed them their flag flying outside of some dipshits mobile home proudly - they would be less than honored and would blame the North for what their country has became.
The forum is just a conduit of opinions. Yea we have quite a few who seem to struggle to grasp that this is a GAMBLiNG forum and not a white power rally - but it is what it is. Don’t like it you have 2 options - ignore it or keep fighting the good fight and try to educate these fools.
I will freely admit my views changed over 50 years - grow up in a redneck little burg where you never experience interacting with anyone who isn’t like you - it’s easy to fall into the trap set up by the mainstream media and believing the lies. Guess what - the same thing is occurring in predominantly black, Hispanic, Arab and gay media too. Point is when you start to educate the fools - attitudes eventually change and the noise is reduced. Why were racial issues much less between 1940-1960 - because the media didn’t focus on them. About the time Kennedy was killed the media realized how powerful and profitable news could be - and they needed to find a way to keep people tuning in. Just like a drug company - profits require you have engaged users and the easiest way to obtain those is make up a problem that people don’t know it existed.
