jiallen, The term "boy" is used colloquially there kenny boy, not in a racial manner....


I can tell you have had limited exposure to other cultures. In some cultures referring to them as a "boy" can get your throat slit or beat up. You may have been innocent in your statement just as some of my white friends making a similar statement. But, if you were in mixed cultural or in race relation encounter group, or a predominate black community you would receive an out pour of anger from the blacks.


I give you the doubt that you were not making a racial slut. Maybe, you have learned something regarding what Kenneth expressed.
