If we are all really this oblivious , I suggest you walk up to one of your black union bros on Monday and say, "Hey, boy, go grab me that box over there." Do it several times just to get a good sample size.
I knew this was gonna go way further then what was needed .In no way should it have gotten to this point. His post was not meant to be racist. I didn't take it that way.

I didn't take it as racist either. But we don't live in some kind of post-racial civilization I'm pretty sure he knows it.

Seriously my brother.
You really don't say that.

It's one thing to say bbsam is my boy
It's another thing to say hey boy
Like led said it's a anonymous forum. And this ain't the 1800s anymore. I don't have a racist bone in my body. I'm a mutt. But cmon saying boy shouldn't be taken as a racist gesture.

It wasn't racial, it was intended to challenge his "manhood". (emasculate)

I never said I didn't know it could be considered that. We are on a chat forum no one is black or white here. I was downtown in the inner city this morning. I went to a grocery store. Was waited on my two African Americans. I was buying some Reesie cups because I got into the Halloween candy and I wanted to replace it before she found out. The cashier a woman joked when I wiped out my cash that I was going to tip her. I said I'll give you a tip if you want. She laughed. I tiled her and the guy that bagged to chocolate treats for me. I said take care brother. This might be construed as a racist thing to say by you as well. That's where this discussion came from. The man took the tip and said thanks brother and I went on my way. Just two men and a woman. You brought it into this. I always maintained that we were in an Internet chat forum. No colors in here.

If you piss me off on here and I call you son or boy it should have nothing to do with that. You are just a fictional character on here.

It's all about context. You're right that this isn't the 1800s, but racism and racial tension is alive and well.
