"Holla atchya boy!"
Um...haven't we spent the last, oh I don't know, 400 years or so trying to get away from someone hollering at us calling us 'boy'? Have we progressed so much that we're right back wearing chains?
Sho 'nuff.
Except this time our chains are slave-made and help fuel wars. At least they bling.

You have a point my dear. But to play devil's advocate, did you ever think that some people liked to be called "ya boy", "n@gga", "son", etc? What once were degrading terms are now used as terms of endearment. At least I think so?!I feel where you were going with this though.
It's common knowledge in the Black community that they're terms of endearment, indeed to most of the community at large, but the parallel particularly to 'the term 'boy' is frightening. I bet the white record execs old enough to remember are laughing all the way to the Lloyd Banks.
