Scootdawg forum&Scooter rebels"Racist Site"Im boycotting!!PT2



this site bans member's because of your skin color,u dont even have to do
nothing.ScootDawg forum & Scooter Rebels are a Racist site

It was in response to the videos I'd posted trying to figure out what is wrong with my bike (short answer, it's possessed) - I'd forgotten all about them.

So - I'm noticing that off to the left I see both the US flag and the vintage confederate flag. I see no issue with having pride in southern history (I'm a yank though ), and I've never gotten any inkling of racism around here. A few of you are a tad hard on the newbies at times (have no idea how I know that...), but I think you're hard of them regardless of skin color.

So - any idea what this guy is babbling about? How the heck would you know his skin color *anyway* unless he volunteered that info? I could be purple for all you guys know.

Who knows man? There ain't but about 3 that have ever been banned from this sight... I recognize 2 of them.... one, I ain't got a clue.
But I ain't seen Doug do anything Racist yet, doubt I ever will. There is always 2 sides to a story.

Doug is the owner of ScootDawg, right? Did he come back out of hiding?

Lee is the owner of ScootDawg that has been MIA for quite some time. Doug is a Global Moderator at ScootDawg and the Administrator of this forum. I'm staff on both and I can tell you that no one is banning people because of their skin color. If you get banned you need to read the rules of the forum and take a look back at your posts. You've done something wrong. I know nothing of this case in particular though.

I feel that way sometimes, meaning I agree with you.

now I'm sure that the theme of this forum offends some people, but to that I say, the words to many so called songs offend me at least as much. You stop making offensive songs, I'll redo the theme here

[jmkjr72]

just remember one thing the constitution does not say anywhere that you have the right to not be offended but it does give you the right to freedome of speech and the theme to the site falls under that

[Rebel]

a political statement here;

Just wait a few more years, that freedom will go away.

well many years ago i took an oath to defend the constitution and our country agaisnt all enemys foring or domsetic and if the domestic enemy ends up our own goverment so be it
