I am a male, a boy, a man, a lad, a dude, a sir, and a gentleman. You can refer to me as such using terms in the appropriate context. Women are allowed to call me a good boy, or say boys will be boys. But another man is not allowed to call me boy, or son in a challenging tone, only my biological father can do so. An older man of advanced years is allowed to call me a young boy, as in you’re still a young boy, as long as it’s done in a reminiscent, or nostalgic tone. I don’t care what label you apply to me as long as it is both accurate, and respectful.

It’s ok for black people (or anyone) to say β€œboy, you/you’re crazy/wild” to me after I have said or done something unhinged, awesome, or said something out of pocket, or something similar that deserves said response.
