manners=pandering-to-the-right these days?

i guess i should just allow the slights against me go unaddressed (i do try though! i have been decreasing my frequency here) while those who perpetuate them may continue to "fire when ready".

but really, what manners do i seem to lack here?

I think the word "my" makes it ok? As opposed to talking to Obama and saying "listen here boy".

huh. i wonder if context means anything. if the term itself were so harmful, why wouldn't my friend be mad when i called them that?

(to your point, com guy, now that my naivete is clearing i think that 'my' wouldn't matter because in the "listen here" context, it seems to be implied)

i think you need to ask your friend that...just for a test though, go up to the next 3 black men you see and don't know, and call them boy...report back when you emerge from the hospital on how it went

i'm not sure if you missed where i said i called my friends that. perhaps in time those guys could become by boys, but why would i go use such terms reserved for friends on strangers? also, have you ever seen the espn show "PTI"? kornheiser and wilbon must be racists if this is your threshold test...

There isn't anything wrong with him calling his friends his boys, my boys, the boys.

it's like you talking about the lsu tigers winning the national championship and you saying "'we' won the national championship".

seriously, man, all you are trying to do is be a **** and act like i am racist. like i said before, it must be different times/eras. i grew up with these kids not even recognizing the difference in skin color. give up. and give up trying to act like my boy obama is a racist, too. he trandscends your small-mindedness.

Too bad we're not all so transcendently big-minded.

I do not disagree with you Ron about the context of using the term "boy." The context and the tone makes all of the difference.

As for Obama being racist, some of his very own quotes from his writing "Audacity of Hope" smack of bigoted language, regardless of what his intentions may have been.

I've never said that Obama was racist, so quit spinning. My comments were directed at you and using the term "boy". Making up a statement doesn't help the tiny shred of credibility you may have...

Maybe his use of boy is what really makes obama a bad candidate for office, I know none of my "boys' are ready for that job.

Can't answer this, Ron? Better stick to bragging exaggerating about cheerleaders.

actually, i didn't feel like responding to anything. why should i? so you can just respnd with more he's-the-devil hyperbole?

and, truth be told, i never was with the cheerleaders in college. they weren't that attractive and they were way too short. asu on the other hand (and like most of the rest of the pac 10 cheerleaders it seems) very quite the opposite.

I never said he was the devil, Ron. I just don't accept that, like you, he's a saint.
