Thread Name: BS: Finger on the Button.
Subject: RE: BS: Finger on the Button.
He didn't apologize for, and no one here has yet commented on his use of the term "boy". No person in public life can be unaware of the offensiveness of that term in US racial relations, and I don't think it could credibly be claimed that the offensiveness was unintended (unlike the "monkey" use featured in another current thread, which arguably was innocently used).
