when you read or hear it.

Just using the word boy in a sentence with the name Obama doesn't make it racist. If you believe that then you are being very simplistic.

When you're black you have to learn what is and what isn't racist.

Here are some examples...

If someone says, "Obama, that boy is good." Well, that isn't racist.

If someone says, "That Obama boy won." Well, that is racist.

If someone says "Obama is articulate and pleasant." Well, that is racist.

If someone says "Obama is a nice guy and a great speaker." Well, that isn't racist.

If you'd like to provide additional examples so we can discuss them post them below.
