Reply to comment by ADarwinAward in 11 current and former East Cleveland police officers indicted after ‘appalling’ behavior caught on video, prosecutor says by AudibleNod

That’s a southern thing, not saying the dude isn’t racist but old heads call people ‘boy’ all the time I don’t think its an indication of their racial beliefs.

Also you don’t have to be white to exhibit the disrespect and inhumanity that many cops do, just a couple months ago we had 5 black cops literally jump another black man gang style to the point that he died.

It’s strictly a southern thing when they’re referring to people of color. Infantilizing them

You cannot possibly be that ignorant to think that it’s ok to call a black man in the south “boy.” Are you serious?

My southern father taught me that saying that was racist by the age of 5 or 6. I refuse to believe anyone living in the south is this uninformed and naive.

Just plain old gaslighting.
