My mother's father was an unequivocal racist from the tepid state of Florida whilst I knew him as a living human (sort of). One of the times in my early teen years when we visited the old racist, we happened to be driving along a state highway when the traffic came to a halt. My grandfather, the rumored former Ku Klux Klan member, saw a State police officer parked alongside the road. The old coot lowered his window and called out as loud as he could muster over to the large, black State policeman, "Boy, what the hell is the hold up?!?"
The large, black State police officer walked slowly over to my racist grandfather's car. When he arrived, he looked straight at the old bastard and said, "Sir, there's a brush fire a half mile up the road. Traffic should be moving along anytime now. Just be patient, sir."
Yeah, people (and you know who you are) know when they mean what they say.
If "boy" is offensive and has racial undertones, then how about Newton spending an entire press conference saying "Donkey Kong Suh"...? If a prominent white QB did that, it would have been a sports story so large it would have made deflategate look like a blip on the radar.And I believe now, as I believed 5 Years ago, that Cam Newton is a Poser who's just in it for the Money.
Indeed, I believe that his gutless reaction to That Fumble will define his Career.
And I believe that it should.
Cam Newton has always been all about Cam Newton.
But Bill Romanowski has always projected a KKK Vibe, in my eyes...
King: Bill Romanowski calling Cam Newton 'boy' was racist
And I don't believe that White Men should hang their heads in Shame for the Unspeakable Crimes that were perpetrated by their Ancestors against Black Men. We should all be judged upon our own Merits.
But there is Terminology that clearly radiates Racism...and "Boy" is part of it.
If it really is "laboratory-pure," I'm sold! Who needs organic?
Yes, that's a lovely Spin on what he said. Unfortunately for you and Romanowski, "Boy" has a very distinct, defined, and Racist meaning when addressed from a White Man to a Black Man.
Context matters.
I agree there's no such thing as white guilt.And I believe now, as I believed 5 Years ago, that Cam Newton is a Poser who's just in it for the Money.

The guy has always been a lunaticAnyone who lumps me in with those Racial Arsonist Lunatics is one stupid Son of a *****.
But Romanowski?? Always got a Bad Vibe from that guy.
He was already deeply suspect in my eyes.
And this??? Extremely suspect.
he wasn't being a racist.
**** the pc police.
White boy is very denigrating.
The most idiotic look one can have is being bald with a ponytail made from the few strands left in the back of the head.
and here's a rat's azz ya cheapo bastich....
Like millions of others, I have little patience for the PC police myself. You'd think they'd have more important things to do than worry about what others sayNext time I give a Rat's Ass about your opinion will be the first time.
Yup. Just ask Vanilla Ice.......
