Yes, I have a problem with a black dude saying 'whiteboy' to a white guy. Flip the cards - what if a Dave called Greg a 'blackboy'?

Only douchebags with no sense of context or history would bring up this argument.

Hmm, I'll elaborate since I can't seem to get any sleep anyway. "Whiteboy" is merely divisive. "Blackboy" on the other hand- in the context of American society with its long history of institutionalized violence against blacks and other minorities- would be divisive AND would not fail to be an implicit sanction of all the racialist, racist ideological bs which one can find in the very fabric of American history, especially against blacks. Thus, both terms are indeed offensive and supposed to be, but they're nothing equal. You'd have to be a tard with little or no real experience of racism to believe otherwise.

blah blah blah.

VHI and MTV are basically the same channel - at least they are owned by the folks.

And - Mr. Whitefolks didn't just equate "white boy" to "black boy," he also equated it to the one roommate's very insensitive remarks about "ghetto" people and living in the inner city and whatever else that judgmental bitch said. He said that it was worse. So, let's start with that argument. Calling someone a "white boy" while talking to them is hardly the same as making ignorant generalizations about people. It's confrontational, divisive,etc...but it's not the same.

Then there was the argument that "white boy" is the same as "black boy". Calling a black man "boy" just has a different confrontation than calling someone "white boy." And yes it is because of the history and derogation of black men and the intentional use of the word "boy" and refusal to call them men in any circumstance to put them in their place. Deal with it, that's the reality of it. The "boy" thing is just different. It doesn't make "white boy" right, but it is clearly not the same. There are a lot of words that were used in certain ways historically to denegrate and still carry the stigma today - they aren't just limited to words to which African Americans might take offense. I'm sure most minorities have a list.

Yawn. Everyone is getting hung up degree and historical context. I don't give a fuck if its the same or not.

'Blackville' is unnecessary. 'Whiteboy' is unncessary

They're all skanks and psychos. Sarah's pretty much the only RELATIVE normal one and even she comes form a fucked up background. Her parents solution to whatever problem she tells them about is the fucking BIBLE. 3 different times now. Even Sarah snapped at it once. Will was way wrong to go after Greg's girlfriend but she was just as wrong and Greg is a complete douche as well for how he treats her. That she went back to him saying Will was the instigator and she told him to back off shows what a skank she is.

Is anyone else completely creeped out when Greg says "Females".? He's got some serious issues. Sociopathic almost.

I was waiting for someone to go there.
