Cause it's never just "boy" when someone says something racist here, they always say the racist thing and add boy to the end or something

I'd be surprised if Seth even realized the guys skin colour considering he was covering his head mostly

He literally just got his head out from under him as 5 guys jump on top of him. There’s a good chance he didn’t get a strong look at him. For real.

 

[Chris]

And they just always add it

why do racist assholes ruin things for everyone else

 

[Butters]

because they are racist assholes

 

[Chris]

Yeah the worst part is they went hard on calling all the black folk "boy" just bc it became so taboo here (finally) to say the n word. It was like their let's go brandon code

 

[Chris]

I mean the fact that I can remember in my lifetime when there was a shift from casually saying the n word to not saying it is pretty sad

 

[Butters]

I always know a piece of shit when i introduce myself as brandon and they gigle and are like, “do you know that lets go brandon chant”

 

[Chris]

I was like 12-13 or so, maybe even older

 

[Butters]

in my head i instantly think, “yeah this guy is worthless”

 

[Tremendez]

tbf even being around it and all the black people I've talked to (I promise it's not just my one black friend) agree that "boy" isn't the issue, it's what comes with it. They get really mad when people don't take concept into account either when it's clearly not a race thing lol

My feelings are context is king.

I know everyone is different, but I knew black peoples when I was in school that didn’t care about you saying the soft a n word the way they would to each other.

And especially if you’re just singing a song. Because the context isn’t bad, but obviously not everyone is like that and the works is different today then even when I was 15 and in school and honestly there wasn’t even this obsession with the word back then I disinterested feel like it is today so not too many even cared to use it.

But of course this is my vague recollection from 20 years ago and I grew up in the northeast smaller town.

Different loved experience from others for sure.

 

[Chris]

Lol I can remember it going from black to African American and back to black as the "accepted terms" cause most black folk actually hate being called "African American" lol they're just American

 

[Tremendez]

Correct changing simple words like lived to loved it lol
