OK, I’m not all p.c. about never calling black boys, boys. I would never call someone Obama’s age a boy, even he is Obama.
You might note than in the next sentence I called Enin a young man.
I’m old enough that even young men in the military are boys to me, younger than some of my children, but the young men in the military qualify for that designation far more than a student in high school, still living in his parents’ home.
I was thinking of maturation process, as in grown to young man status by the measure of his character. In that regard, little barry bastard Soetoro will always be a boy.
