That’s great [not being sacastic] but what if they can’t even see it because so many of you have put each other on “ignore list”?
See the problem? That can kill this forums activity. We need a truce along with an agreement to stop talking politics on here. There’s nobody but ourselves to put an end to this already.

Same thing happens over here, and probably a lot of places. Raise the prices just before a long weekend, or school holidays, just when people have no choice but to fill up.

I agree with you and have no one on my ignore list. But you saying you see nothing wrong with his post?
What if he used a racist slur against Hispanics? Still nothing wrong?
And if didn’t even address it till he said “He talked to HIS friends and they said nothing was wrong with it? GTFOH…
Personally I think it’s childish to start a disagreement. Get called out and then block someone. I’ll own everythingI say.

What was the slur? Are you referring to “Jap”? Umm, my name is Ricardo but I prefer to be called Ric. Sometimes I get asked why no k? I say there’s no k in my name you just cut it short and you get Ric. I think that’s the proper way.
So what in the world is wrong with Jap? I could understand if he said nip, gook, or chink, but how is Jap offensive??

Saying “Jap” is the same to a Japanese is the same as saying “spic” to a Mexican.
It’s been derogatory to Japanese since WWll. Doesn’t matter what you, lucky, Klasse or I think if the people whom it said to find it’s racist well it’s racist.
Like l said before ignorance of racism isn’t the absents of it….

Tbo I’m like the least offended person you’ll ever find when it comes to race. Someone can say whatever the hell they want about Mexicans and I don’t care. I don’t really care about race.
I think Morgan Freeman had it right.

I agree. Great part of the USA is you can believe what you want. I wasn’t put here to judge no other man.
You can come up with any derogatory name you want for me and it doesn’t bother me because no one here really knows me as a man.
But if your gonna say it and be a man an own it. Not the first Sideways sh!t he’s said.
But especially Just don’t tell me your friends say it’s OK.

100% here Ric, it's possible you've never heard this term before and if not, no problem but when someone of a certain age "should" know better, that's where I have the problem. It's too bad he couldn't own it or even wrap his head around it but then again he's quite possibly got a cotton item around his head that's cut off O2 to his brain...or isn't man enough to admit he's wrong but I'll be doing my part to get a little justice here, might not work but I'll try...count on it!
Kinda funny when I produced 2 examples of the slur cars he STILL could open his cement mind up to it, what a MAN he is, a Wizard if you will

Keep on arguing and you may not realize it but you’re probably turning some people off, resulting in them no longer bothering to come on here… Add to that your new enemies on ignore list.
1 day you’ll think to yourself “man wasn’t it cool when I used to go on the forum and talk about detailing my car”?
But it’ll be dead. And we’ll only have ourselves to blame if we don’t put an end to this off topic drama.

That already happened a long time ago when Covid and politics were being actively discussed here. It doesn’t belong here because I open recent threads so even when I don’t want to read it, I do a little. I guess I could be a little more careful on the recent threads I open but it would be better if we’d keep divisive #### like this off the forum. As you say, it doesn’t help the forum.

No one is offended by the way he used the word Jap, it was obviously not ill willed and used as an abbreviation. Get over it and move on!
Btw, back to the topic, gas is $3.40 here in NC. Of course it goes up again after I put 33s on the truck and get 13mpg lol.

I'm not worried about making enemies because those people are already my enemy, just made it easier to I.D. them.
A simple search of YT netted this, so anyone who doesn't get it, watch this and open your ears and eyes and really take this in

Eldo im already turned off by it. I got a "nice" (being sarcastic) PM from klasse yesterday. Not going into detail what was said because thats between us as it was a PM. But really thought better of him as of recently.
To me when i first found this forum 2-3 years ago...kinda thought of him as a big name on here. He was always posting and trying out the latest and greatest products. Im thinking otherwise now. Not really living up to his name as of late.
And Sure..ive contributed to political talk and whatnot on here. Recently and in the past. So ll make an honest attempt to dial it back and keep it detailing related for the sake of the forum. Might still crack a joke or two but nothing serious.
Seriously, no laws have been broken...but now because someone said something(again no laws were broken) that someone else didnt like, not said person is going to...what try and get someone removed from the forum...w t f! That is silencing free speech.
If that happpens, im sure it wont matter as im not a big name on here but ill leave the forum for good.

I’d gladly change my username to “Spic” if I could… Except since I couldn’t care less about stupid race I’ll think of it like “Spic & Span” you know, I get my car clean like #### & Span.
lol.
@Klasse Act. Not everyone on this forum is a badass. We should respect our elders and keep things civil. Same way we would at cars & coffee.

Don’t speak for everyone. I agreed and I let it go. But just cuz you white guys are ok with it don’t make it not racist. and like I said it don’t matter one lick what you think.
Try posting it in your work chat or on your twitter or Facebook and see if they think it’s racist?
He coulda apologized if he didn’t mean to be racist. But no he used his “friends” to justify it instead.
As I said d before. Ingnorance of racism is not absence of racism. At best your being ignorant….. at worst?
And was that you letting it go starting that PMS thread?
We should all just let it drop tho cuz we ain’t changing anyones minds here.
