I look at things in black and white, and everyone's opinion is valid.
I know, it's possible, but I just can't prove a theory like this.

I don't think anyone is racist here. I think they judt have opinions based upon their experience and relationship with people and life. It's all perspective.

Oh, I think they are. For example, if justinspace says that he is a "person of color" and therefore cannot be racist like a white person could be ...that's clearly racist, is it not? But regardless, you seem to be the most well-meaning person in here and you don't jump to conclusions. So I get your drift.

Everyone has some degree of prejudice, IMHO. That's why humans have certain preferences for certain things than others. For example, I don't like shellfish because I don't like the taste, but my friends love shellfish. There's nothing wrong with that.
I don't want to start any war here, but a lot of prejudice does stem from experiences. If you grow up in a neighborhood with a lot of crime associated with a specific race, you're more likely to associate crime with that race. I'm not saying that it's right to do so, but unfortunately, that's what many people do. This is just human nature.

Both of you make a valid point, just don't judge each other for having a contrast in perspective.

Sorry for your loss. Too bad he didn't crash into the concrete barrier and explode into a giant fireball.
Almost two years ago, I passed a truck driver who was driving slow in the left lane. He didn't like that and ended up blocking me off at the next red light, getting out of his truck, threatening my life, and kicking in the door and roof of my months-old Civic Si.
My VIOFO A119S dashcam caught everything that was necessary to result in his termination from the trucking company the next morning, being charged with felony criminal mischief, and paying restitution.
Hopefully, there won't be a next time, but if there is just read the plate number so it can be heard on the dashcam's audio recording.

Damn. That sucks.
Luckily I have never experienced such a thing.
I usually run at the first sign of conflict, and keep going until I'm alone again. Not worth it.
If someone almost hits me I will flash and honk to let them know. Happened to me over the weekend.
Asshole in a Maxima swerved from behind me in the right lane over to the left lane, leaving less than 10 feet of clearance behind my bumper.
I was going about 45 mph, he was going maybe 80 or more.
He was stopped at the next light preparing to turn left and I blinded and honked the hell out of him as a passed his sorry ass.

What in the racism is going on here? Smh this forum has gone down hill so fast in the past couple years. Where is that ban hammer when you need it?

Why does every thread seem to devolve into DriverOne displaying his idiocy and proceeding to argue with everyone else?

I was literally thinking the same thing. I've been on a hiatus the past few months, only came back after the MDX and TLX leaks were posted on FB, and I'm wondering who the hell this guy is and why he prides himself on being as abrasive as possible.

Feel free to lock this down. I should have known better than to start such a bigoted thread. The guy that hit me did accuse me of racism, I can only guess it was because my RDX is white and his Malibu is black... so that is the bottom line

I don't know, but it might be worth noting that crapping threads and other 'non social' behaviour is generally more negatively received in the car model sub-forums, compared to, say, Ramblings. That is to say, one is expected to step more lightly, be more helpful and act more cooperatively in the model sub-forums. These forums are for users to share information and gain help and advice. Posting contrary to those objectives is not given much tolerance.
