I disagree. If Geoff Davis had said about Obama, "That ******'s finger does not need to be on the button," instead of "That boy's finger does not need to be on the button," there would have been none of the dancing around about if it was racist or not.
Wrong. Using the term "******" is racist. In the context of the statement, the term "boy" was not racist. It could have been if used in a racist context.
Either way, it's racist or not. No middle ground.
The only middle ground you see is the assumption of racism you place on a term that there is no other evidence to support it was stated in a racist manner.
