Ah. Thanks, Mr. Mecca. That makes a lot of sense, actually.

I hope you're allowing the other posters the opportunity to share their views without accusing them of acute stupidity right out of the chute, though.

'Cause I was thinking about going in there.

They can say whatever they want, just don't get upset if you make a dumb comment if you get called on it.

Really when you make a comment like Laz made you asked for it.

The problem is people get ripped for making reasonable and logical comments.

No, I'm not a mod.

I think that OntheWarpath58 is a mod.

I would be out of control as a mod.

First off, it isn't racial, it's cultural.
Second, it's unclear is the origins of the term are self identified or imposed from the outside. It first appeared in print in The New Yorker, but the author states it was the term the locals used to describe themselves.
Finally, while it has some derogatory aspects [poor, illiterate] it's also embued with positive attributes [self sufficient, free, hardy].

Ooh, rather than doing real work, I make tons of money culling the back end of the $$$ that flow from teenagers with disposable income to braindead artists who think they need my services because they don't know a business model from a slurpee machine.

Guess that makes me smarter than all you bitches.

Are you referring to me?

Uh, I left the music business and studios more than 6 years ago.

And I've posted this more than a few times.

And it's not like only 1 side is guilty here I've been called a Sanchezite about a million times and said to "only like him because he's from SC" when that is so far from the truth.
