I hope so... If so, YOU GO BOY!!!!!!

that is so demeaning!

the irish are the negroes of the British Isles.

they have earned a great deal of respect

Sean Penn has already been to iraq, smoking up a storm, and from reports i read just asked Bono to make the trip himself

bono can find many more famous men in CA, anyway.

watch your mouth, or is it covered?

Surely no harm was meant by the use of the word "boy"..........
 
Hmm. Sounded like a figure of speech actually. I can only think of one meaning of the word boy. Unlike "the irish are the negroes of the British Isles." Care to elaborate? I don't feel like reading between any lines.
 
Methinks he was refering to the position of the Irish in the past when they were pretty much considered to be the lowest level of the white races. The British used them for endentured servants (read: slaves) for a long time. It was all quite horrible. Racism against the Irsish was quite common in England for a long time, and still exists in some areas today.
 
WHAT THE HELL? HAHAHAHAH, IT'S A FIGURE OF SPEECH WHEN YOU SAY "YOU GO GIRL" OR "YOU GO BOY"..... IT IS A POSITIVE SAYING....

The war on Iraq is frightening and wrong and I think we need a few prominent popular figures to speack up against it?

Girl (debbie), I think u need to check yourself before you wreck youself ..... :p

WTF?

You cannot be serious. Please tell me this is a joke.

Can you actually say you believe that Amna was making a racist comment and we should all be offended?

Have we become so damn PC that innocent slang terms need to put under a microscope and examined for hidden racist undertones? Give me a break.

I seriously doubt any Irish b-boys in the crowd took offense. We all know what secret hip-hop heads those Irish kids are..


:laugh:
 
I don't suppose my explanation of the objection helped things. I can't see how boy would be offensive to an Irishman. At most, in hte wrong tone of voice it could be offensive to a black person. But Irish. I just thought I'd explain what I surmised the term "negroes of the British Isles" to mean. It does describe a real situation (though not an extensive one any more). I'll throw in my WTF with everyone else and say I never saw that reaction coming.
