Is there some reason you feel the need to refer to others, including people that are obviously female, as "boy". It doesn't help your argument and only makes you appear to be a racist. Unless of course you're trying to do a bad Jackie Gleason impression of Smokey and the Bandit?

I apologize to any ladies I may have called boy. That isn't my usual practice. As a Southerner, the use of "boy" to another man isn't even an insult, just a manner of speaking. It's good for smoking out yankees and liberals though, both of whom will immedately feign offense at the first utterance of the term.

Jackie Gleason said "sumb***h" more than he said "boy". If he said "boy" he's the one doing an imitation of Southerners, not me.

Jackie Gleason used the term when talking to his son in the movie.

As far as using it to "smoke out yankees and liberals", well I guess you found me out. I'm a Yankee.

And I'm not feigning, it is offensive and as you stated in your post, (in not so direct words), meant to intimidate.

I'm sure Dr. Keyes would be impressed...
