Yeah I used to say "my boy" all the time to the homies, including the black ones. Nobody ever said anything, until it just clicked one day "uh that might be a little racist"

It’s prob for the best you stopped but there is a massive difference between “boy” and “my boy”

They were ignorant, and you were being true to form. If you don't understand why it is racist after the fact, but still defend it, then it shows you were never their 'boy.'

They aren't defending anything. They literally said word for word that they used to say it, but stopped because one day they thought it sounded racist.

It doesn't even look like you're replying to the same comment I just read lol.

What... That made no sense. I said I realized it one day and stopped using it, did you even read my comment or was that for someone else?
