Calling A Black Man "boy"
Calling A Black Man "Boy"
Is the term "boy" offensive to black people when referring to a Black man?

It is offensive to any man to be called BOY. Color is irrelevant. However, if the comment is spewed with a southern drawl on a white man and all the contempt you can imagine, I am sure it will get the appropriate ire from a black man.

I am very positive it would be taken as an insult by a black person. In fact I think it is an insult to call any grown up male "Boy". The whole idea behind that wording is to imply the other is beneath you in stature and intelligence.

Yes it is a deep insult that I learned about when I was in college. I thank a nice friend who was black who taught me that this term was not something nice to him and his race. I was glad that he did not take offense and understood that my country hick rear end did not mean what I said. I got educated on that real well.
