Yes. I was appalled Watson thought that now Carter had used the term black boy, that the term Black Boy was appropriate for him to use about Obama. I couldn't believe folks wouldn't tell him to knock it off.

I would have commented on the Carter thing if I had seen it, but I didn't. However I did know Watson was saying Carter had said it- I just didn't think compounding that insult over and over again made anything better.

I'm sorry if what I said wasn't clear. I found Watson's post deeply offensive, and I have an emotional reaction to that kind of racism.
