Just carefully watch and listen how people in the media, and white people in general, will do verbal and written gymnastics to avoid calling any black male over the age of 17 a boy.
The only time an adult black is called a boy is if he is in a group with some white men. A typical example is when a reporter or announcer throws it back toa broadcast crew in the studio which consists of blacks and whites. Then it mightbe something like, "boys, back to you."
Ever notice how football and basketball coaches generally refer to their players as "men" when addressing them, while in hockey and baseball it's almost always "boys." Golfers are often referred to as boys by the media, also NASCAR drivers. Ever hear the old expression "he's a local boy"? Even with something that innocuous, when it's a black who's local, the boy part is left out. Instead, it's "He's a local product," or "He's a local kid."
Calling an adult black male a boy is ultra-politically incorrect yet white men of all ages are routinely referred to as boys, especially in the media.
Another thing that gets me is how white men more and more, besides being called "boys," are referred to simply by the purely biological term "male." Yes, I'm male, but so is my dog. I am a man and that's what I want to be called, not a "male."
And if not boy or male, the rest of the time it is the all-purpose "guy." The word "man" itself is well on its way to becoming extinct when applied to white men. It's just one battle out of many being waged to deprive white men of self-respect and of respect from others. I believe all racially conscious whites should refer to white men as men and not use the other terms, as often as possible.
