Or does society just consider it racism if "Whitey boy" addresses the black boy as, "Sambo." ?

The only correct way is to say "light skinned" or "dark skinned". "Whitey boy" is a derogatory statement, I can't believe you even had to ask that. Most whites wont care what you call them unless they're racist (guess it goes both ways). I've been called everything by my dark skinned friends and vise versa. If you are friends with the person it may be a totally different story. Neither one should care either way than.

It depends on the person's tone and relationship. I mean, according to the media, confederate black persons address themselves with the 'N' word with affection and camaraderie. Now, a black person calling his white firend 'white boy', might sound a little differently if he's just an acquantance or stranger. I guess, it all depends on perception and level of relationship with the individual at hand, to determine the emotional intent of a term.

Kim: Well, if it's not MEANT to be racist, it could just be in fun. Like, calling a black person black isn't really racist. If it's meant to be derogatory, then yeah. But don't call black people Sambo. That's just... not cool. At all.
Kara: I guess it depends on the way it was meant and who it was directed to.

Please define "light skin person" If the light skinned person is of the same race as the "black person" then it's probably just "boys in the hood" messn. But, if the person is of another race, then the unthinkable has happened. There must be retribution!!! How could you ever look your mother in the eye if you didn't kill the sucka? I don't care which race is which. (This has been an exercise in absurdity)

I think it depends on the intent of the comment and the relationship of the two trading names.

I would think it is.
Personally i dont see color, i see people. I would NEVER refer to someone in a way that points out thier color.

Seems more then likely- but then it would depend on the individuals involved.
