(34,407 posts)46. Okay. I will apologize for being rude
I've lived in 5 states, most in the northeast. The very idea that 'white boy' could possibly have the same inference as calling a black man a 'boy', is preposterous. Calling any man a 'boy' would not have the same meaning as calling a black man a boy, but it would be demeaning or derogatory regardless of race. Finding a white boy to run for President is what we need to do, if we want to win in states that won't vote for any other species. Do you not recall the inference of 'white boys'? There is no way anyone who breathed the same air as me in high school in New York would come to that conclusion.
