For everyone's info, here's a helpful column explaining why the word "boy" is racially charged when used by a white person about a black man:

After reading your article it would seem that the word girl would also be offensive to black women

I think Gail said that was still cool.

I distinctly heard her say, "...but calling players whiny bitches is still lit, skrrrt", then she dropped the mic and dabbed.

I don’t know what is and isn’t racist anymore. This whole thing has been crazy. I guess just don’t talk to them is the safe thing to do.

Good.

As non-american I can tell you that USA is one ****ed up country. And as it happened to many empires in the history it's going to go to ****. I predict it happens in this century for sure.

It's honestly not hard. Calling black men 'boy' as a derogatory statement has been a thing literally as long as the N word. Come the **** on people.

Jazz are on a pestering fan hunt now? So calling an opposing players "you suck" is out of the question now? lol
