You will never last in the NFL with that attitude. The world doesn't revolve around you, boy! #CamNewton

Again, i am not arguing that it's not a racist word when used in a racist context. If your intent with the word is to "knock a black man down a notch" then it's obviously racist. Im arguing that simply using the word does not change the context into a racial one.

Look at the context and interpret the use of the word. Don't look at the word and interpret the context. That's all im saying.

Boy, uh huh, boy, uh huh
Boy, uh huh, boy, uh huh

Boy, uh huh, boy, uh huh
Boy, uh huh, boy, uh huh

Boy, uh huh, boy, uh huh
Boy, uh huh, boy, uh huh

I want to be where the boys are
But I'm not allowed
I wait outside of the boy's bar
I wait for them to all come out

I'm not a boy
I'm not a boy

It's not my fault
That I'm not a boy
It's not my fault
I don't have those toys

I'm not a boy
I'm not a boy

Boy, uh huh, boy, uh huh
Boy, uh huh, boy, uh huh

Boy, uh huh, boy, uh huh
Boy, uh huh, boy, uh huh

And now it's alright
(And now it's alright)
Without those boys
(Without those boys)
I stay at home at night
(I stay at home at night)
And I play with my toys
(And I play with my toys)

Boy
I'm not a boy
Boy
I'm not a boy

Boy
I'm not a boy
Boy
I'm not a, not a, not a boy

Chunky doesn't mix with Marshmallow Cream like creamy does. Heathen.

The game of 'either don't ever criticize black men, or return to lynchings?'

That's a reeruned game.

Either you're trolling or stupid or both.

How about if a word has a storied history of being a slur used against a certain group of people.... you don't use it? Simple? Cool.

Not only that, but Chunky can puncture holes in your bread when you're trying to make a PB&J.

Honestly, Chunky PB is like PB&J terrorism.

Cam is black
Cam is a man
Billy wanted to knock him down a notch with that tweet.

These three facts are established.

The only remaining question is if Billy was aware of the historical use.

From here on out, anyone who uses the word "boy" is a racist, because "it's a racist term, everybody knows it".

Thank god im not white....

OK folks, please get me up to speed here. If we quit using this devistating, racist word that is obviously meant for death and destruction, what do we call young/young-acting male humans? In this instance, Im good with puss, but Im not sure if thats racist or not

No, the question that remains is whether or not Billy decided to use the word "boy" because of his skin color or because of his maturity.
