yes. seriously .



This is exactly how "boy" has been used to belittle black men.

But in my mind I'm the same as any man. If more people thought as I did we would all be equal. You aren't a black man to me on here or in life. You are a man in the real and an I don't or can't say for sure on here.

@wide load called me "boy" several times and I'm white as rice, and he knows it.

He also called me another name for a cat this week, and he is now in moderators queue.

Who's the boy now?

Shouldn't be is right....

The day we actually live in a post racial society, it shouldn't. Until then.......

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

That may have been how he meant it. I'm not questioning him. Sometimes you just need to choose better words.


For example I can't say *******************

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

Just because it dominates the headlines it doesn't mean it has a place here.

im not playing into the racist bs. We all bleed the same. With that being said I'm not tiptoeing around what I say, cause someone may take offense. Playing the race card over his post is weak in my opinion. Say it after me.."this is an anonymous forum". Don't take things so seriously.

The thing is is this obviously isn't as commonly known as some other terms.

I had no idea what it meant hyena didn't LB obviously didn't.

I'm just saying it could very easily be an honest mistake because depending on where you live you may honestly have no clue this is a thing.

Sounds like you are taking offense to someone taking offense. It's a two way street brotha.

You may think so...

Sorry. Wasn't trying to start a race war

Maybe this thread needs a time out?

I'm not taking offence.im trying to be reasonable. Where I live I don't notice racial tension, I know it happens in places but not around my area. Like I said I'm a mutt.

It could be an honest mistake but ignorance in real life can have consequences.

Trust me, it happens everywhere. Some less than others, but everywhere none the less.

I love everyone the same I'm not scared of anyone the same. I practically grew up in the Mansfield reformatory. My father was incarcerated there for 8 years hard time. He was a bad guy. I had to visit that place every other Sunday for 8 long years. 5 hours a pop. I grew up in the welfare system. Foster system for a spell. I like everyone that treats me like a human being. If you don't I don't bother with you. If you come at me I come at you.

You could have very easily ended up like your pops but you didn't take that road and are a wonderful husband and father for your kiddos... You should be proud of that. Although I will bet you will agree with me that none of this family stuff works as well as it does without a strong mother and wife... My wife makes it happen day in and day out and IS the glue that holds my family together !!

I skimmed over and thought we were talking about inviting multiple people into the bedroom.

i know right... Damn you brown cafe... We start with racial slurs, then jump into getting it on with a black guy... Throw in some girl on girl, then doggy hustle, now ending with an orgy.... That's bringing it full circle!!!
