Really now?

The only thing wrong with that photo is the doors open.
" yet growing up in the south it was just kind of a casual thing."
I find it interesting that you say "aren't overtly racist" instead of just "aren't racist." By using the word Overtly, you're saying that most southerners are racist, but are just good at hiding it.

If the infotainment system in your car does not function easily or reliably, that's a flaw and it should be reported - especially if the flaw interferes with…
