Hey,I don't think your trying to start anything Steve,I just think you may be wrong. I went back and checked past post,the vast majority of them,I mean,I couldn't find anything about what you say I did. I didn't find anything about anyone encouraging me to stay either,then again I never said I was leaving these forums so Im not sure where that came from exactly.
Like I said,the only thing I could find maybe related to what your talking about is the Puerto Rico thing,which a few people got pissed at what I said about that and accused that of being racist,but like I said,dissing a island or being mean or pissed about someone buying stupid shit or speaking english poorly isn't being a racist. That and it was terribly naive of the people who got offended to assume I was speaking of people of just hispanic or latin origin.
People like this I feel are more racist then anything (not purposefully),because when they hear the words "South America" and "Puerto Rico" all they picture is people of hispanic or native american origin. They forget that people of many different races,white,black,and asian included all migrated to these areas,esp way back in the 1800-1900s. Kinda like with the migration of white people from France and England to EndoChina back when Endochina was a union. Not everyone in EndoChina is or was asian. People tend to picture someone who is puertorican as being hispanic,which is silly,because it doesn't matter what "race" you are,if your native birth land is Puerto Rico,your puertorican,just as you could be black or of asian decent and be born in Germany,thus being german/german citizen.
I like how Maddox addressed a issue like this here:

I also know people may have made the stupid assumption that because I'm from Arkansas I'm a under educated racist hick drop out who relishes in the lynchings of yee ole olden days. People tend to think this because white people in the south,esp from Arkansas, are not portrayed well in a positive manner at all. This is understandable,and yes,racism still occurs here WAY WAY FAR outside the major cities,but it also occurs in the north,east,and west equally well if not worse in rich majority white neighborhoods.
Infact,we are more known for our vicious gangs made up of white,black,hispanic,and asians then our crappy redneck racist who lives out in the middle of nowhere. Some of our gangs tend to make gangs in California and NY look like boy scouts. I guess alot of you may have been too young for Gang War: Bangin' in Little Rock.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272104/http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/gangwars.phpWhen Gutts said I was a dirty fighter jokingly on that other thread,little did he know I grew up in Little Rock/North Little Rock in this time period. Most of my friends were Bloods or Crips or Folk,and I've been in plenty of street fights.
I never bothered to join a gang,and about everyone I knew didn't care to try to get me to join because I spent most of my time skateboarding or whatever else. People tended to think these gangs were always trying to recruit people by pressure or force or something,but I never saw that occur,nor did any of my friends who were Bloods get pissed for me having Crip friends and vice versa.
As I said,Arkansas isn't really a racist filled state,its more or less a crime ridden state known for gangs and drug traficking. People who assume it is are stupid or naive,or have never had to pass trough Rose City,Little Rock,or North Little Rock. People who assume I'm a racist because I'm from Arkansas,the same rules apply to you too.
Steve if you can pinpoint the racial slurs I was supposed to have made then I will more then happily remove them and state as to why the past post was modified so far down the road,but as I said,I didn't find anything of the such.
