Soon the idle young bucks would stroll into the Quarter and act like they do all over the country.

While I share most of your sentiments, you must not phrase them like this. "Bucks" is a pretty offensive term to use and does not reflect well upon you or FR. Try "urban youths" instead.

Thanks for the advice. I thought about what you said before I posted and decided that the word bucks was race neutral. It first applied to Indians but later became common for any young, strong, male persons.

Where I live "young bucks" means young single adult males of any race. And where I live is more than 90 percent white folks. It is not an offensive term.

This constant sniping for politically correct effect gets wearying after a while. Who cares what the left thinks? Their "approval" is not important to me.
