What am I looking at another lashing by bots? Pretty soon the nigerian dude will be here.

I'm surprised you didn't spell it with the double "g" like your confederate friend.

One: I know low to spell nigerian, of course it should be capitalized but your friend don't capitalize his name. I don't have any confederate friends that I am aware of, I just un-followed someone a couple months ago for saying Eric Holder needed to be strung up by a rope, only he said it much nastier, I don't even like Eric Holder but that's the kind of behavior I deem unacceptable. Two: I am related to black people, my older sister was married to one before her death, had another child prior to that with another black man who went up for adoption. I often times had her kids for extended periods even before I had my own children. Two of my best friends in life were African American before their deaths. One I wrote about here when I first got here, Three Trees In A Triangle. So please do, once again, excuse yourself.

So you understand that referring to me as someone's "boy" is unacceptable then.

If you thought I meant it in a sexual manner then yes but that wasn't my intent.

Using the term 'boy' to refer to a black man is a well known American slur that references slavery days.

I find it hard to believe you are not aware of this, but I'm willing to accept it wasn't your intention. Fair enough.

Oh, okay. I think I've seen references to that before, sorry for the misunderstanding. I admit it doesn't quite click with me as I am so use to demeaning references used during my generation that to me seem so harsh that it makes you forget how others related in history back then. I would imagine it to be like a post traumatic analogy...your mind pulls forward the worse of what you experience/see/hear.
