this term is turnin into a racial slur and no black person is going to agree, but they never agree with white people, cause we are "holding them down"
i think all blacks should not be able to say white boy just as white people cannot say ***

Your right Dan.
Alot of people say the "N" word is rude and hurtful and while i agree but i wonder why do black americans call each other that all the time? If a white person walked up and said it all heck would break lose.

You sound like your getting a tad racist there and that you should rethink what you say before you get yourself into trouble.
I don't think anyone should use the N word, not even dark people... it's not a nice word at all.
And dark people shouldn't call fair skinned people white boy or whatever because yeah it is a racial slur.
Just because you don't agree with them and don't like being called that........then you should really practice what you preach and even if you get called white boy be the bigger person

Censoring words is not the answer. People should be allowed to say whatever they like. It's called freedom of speech. I don't get mad when I'm called 'whiteboy', but my estimaton of the speaker's intelligence and basic humanity drops precipitously if it's meant as name-calling.

I love all racial slurs. I think we should be required to address members of other races by the most offensive perjorative term for that race. I will discuss this with the thought police and hopefully we can make it happen.
For Dan G, who is "differently abled" perjorative is similar to derogatory.

Yeah, really. I thought the reflex word would invariably be peckerwood. Which I think is a variant on woodpecker which still seems to have no explanation either. Ugh! You racial people will be the death of me with your assasinations of the english language.

the only reason that a white boy is called that is .because when you put yourself into a situation or confrontation.that's when you get that called too you . So dint ever put yourself into a bad situation where you have to sink or swim making it seem that you are the jerk .Back off step away and keep on moving ..you dint have to play the game that ends with a lose lose situation.

I'M NOT SEEING THE RACIAL SLUR...BUT IF YOU FEEL THIS WAY THEN ACT UPON IT WHEN SOMEBODY CALLS YOU THAT JUST LIKE BLACKS WOULD IF WE WERE CALLED THE N WORD
AND STOP GENERALIZING PLEASE ABOUT HOW BLACK PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE...I'M BLACK AND NO WHITE MAN IS HOLDING ME DOWN. EVERYTHING THING I HAVE EVER WANTED TO ACCOMPLISH IN LIFE HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.
