This is a new one? Really? Have you gone your whole life without knowing that people consider "boy" a racial slur when used in reference to a black man?
Not worrying is one thing. Not knowing is something else for a man as old as you. Is that really a new one for you?
Snookums, I grew up in Chicago, from the days when Jesse Jackson started riots with MLK's bloody shirt to Jeremiah Wright screaming "God Damn America". I've grown up with fake outrage all my life.
I truly do not care what people find offensive.
I try to avoid using ethnic slurs, even though you can't avoid them in a place like Chicago.
I call Obama "boy" because he doesn't man up to the fact that this is HIS economy, he owns it, and what he's been doing isn't working. He blames Bush, he blames the Earthquake in Japan, he blames Greece, he blames whatever scapegoat is out there.
When he mans up and takes responsiblity, then I'll treat him like a man.
I don't like the guy. But I dislike Romney more. An election where the two least deserving guys in the country might be the only options.
