As some of you know, many black males are offended if you call them "Boy." I get offended myself but that depends on the tone of how it's said. I'm not instantly offended if you call me boy no matter how you say it.
I talked to a white guy at work, who is really cool, that said he doesn't get why we would get offended in 2018. He even knows where it came from. What is your opinion on this? --- I don't know why I'm playing Destiny 2... but I am... ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think most people would get offended by it regardless, and depending on the context used, it definitely could register as much more offensive to a black person. The only real appropriate context would be endearingly calling someone "my boy."

Just like everything, it's all about context good news is its one of those that's normally easy to figure out. they say it with some stank on it, its racist. they say it where its not really appropriate but without the stank on it, old time racist but is probably harmless. says it in a context where its a normal word to use and without any stank, not racist. --- ...

depends on context. If it's racist, it's racist. If you refer to your friends as your "boys" your you're doing a Flava Flav impression or something, there's no reason to be offended.

As we're seeing here, Democrats and liberals are so entrenched in their ideology and identity politics that they can't handle the idea of a conservative black person and will outright accuse them of not being black to avoid having to listen to them. Where as conservatives want to hear ideas and have discussions with people from all political and racial backgrounds.
