Moderators Why did the comment about wife swapping get deleted but a racist comment about a young colored man does not get deleted.

...a young colored man....jp

[/ QUOTE ]What color is he? The correct term in the 21st century would either be african-american or simply a black man. "Colored" is a bit dated, and many take offense to it.To be honest, I am not sure why anyone even mentioned the race of the person in question to begin with....not sure what it contributed to the story?

I don't think anything floats up out of that river.... It keeps it until you go get it. I wouldn't doubt something as strange as that engine being in an old truck though. I know where some plain jane F150's are with 429 CJ engines in them. I have seen warehouses full of BBC engines and 4 speeds stacked like cordwood in Georgia. A guy in Linden, TN crushed cars for weeks after the epa got on his nerves. Big blocks were scattered all over the Mountain where he lived. I saw a building in Georgia with 348's and 409's laying on top of each other. Old Man Holt in Fayetteville, TN won't tell me but I have heard from many people that he has a barn full of Hemi engines. He won't let you on his land if you are a "long hair". I have friends that have asked me to find parts on his place for him. He takes you out in his old jeep (with a chainsaw) and shows you what you are looking for. Rows of 57's, corvairs, Chryslers, Impalas and buildings with who knows what. The Chainsaw is to cut the trees out so you can get to the cars.... People are strange. There is a guy in Ft. Payne that spends his days at the entrance of his land to make sure you don't try to steal his stuff. Another 10 acres or so of cars.... Neat cars that he could retire on. Of course they are not for sale...

He probably didn't mean anything by it. In some areas of the South Colored or black is still used. I don't know how old Joey is but an 80 yr old may still use a term that a 20 yr old wouldn't. It changes alot, I'm not white, I am caucasion.. What does the "C" in NAACP stand for anyway...... But like someone said, it really didn't contribute to the story much. Mr Holt not letting Schonye on his land would be something to see though...

I understand, and just thought it was funny that jackal was asking why a racist comment about a "colored" person was not edited. Not sure what racist comment he was talking about (didn't see one, still don't). Never mind....

him to have this stuff except that as a <font color="green">young colored man </font> he liked to race

If this is what you are taling about, I dont see anything wrong with it. It could be as simple as the guy telling Joey that himself. Most Elderly black folks i have known will refer to themselves as such instead of black and if telling the story to Joey thats how he described himself theres nothing wrong with it being retold as such.
