You guys are great
By the way 1qckdodge, I wouldn't help you at the drop of a dime. It would take a quarter cause fuel is expensive here where I live.
Now thats funny

Just as anyone of the chapter#21 members will treat you should you come to visit us!!
Good job Willie
Everyone in chapter #21 knows that racial, religeous, sexual discrimination of any type will not be permitted in any way shape or form. Be nice, mind your manners, and don't torque off the host of the event and all are welcome!
Otherwise you will be, if needed be, forcibly removed from the event (squad car available). I GUARANTEE IT!!

hey runamuk, if any of your events ever happen a little closer to me I'd be more than happy to join in the festivities. Sactown is a little bit of a drive!

I've seen the same mentality from all races wrt to others. I realize it may not be a popular view, but as long as we keep institutionalizing racism with 'minority-only' scholarships, alternate admissions criteria for different races at colleges, affirmative action, etc., it won't go away any time soon.

Issues!!!!!!
desertram800
Sorry to hear about your experiences with this issue. I don't know if it will ever go away - but it sure has changed in my lifetime. Discrimination goes way back through civilization - but changes over time. Next time this happens to you, just consider the source and remember they are probably not half as good as you in talent, spirit or beliefs. Just hang out here - good bunch of guys and gals. And....thank you for your service to our country.
