Discussion»Questions»Communication» "Don't start anything with me boy. Better be careful how you talk to white people". How insulting is it to him to call a black man "boy"?
which brings to mind something kinda unrelated, but not really.
you older folks will remember this; "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" by Glenn Miller......
welllll
the opening line is......"Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?"........
but back in those days, no one ever thought anything about it.
also on a fairly unrelated, but related note, the SEXIST song.'Sleepy Time Gal".......
BIG hit in the 1950's.
part of the lyric goes like this:
"........sleepy time gal you're turning night into day. .......then later,.
:you'll learn to cook and to sew what's more you'll love it I know; you're just a play at home lay at home stay at home sleepy time gal;..........
!!!!!!!!!!!! and people loved that song!!
AND I MUST ADD ONE MORE THEN I;LL STOP.
ABOUT THIS SAME TIME, A HUGE HIT WAS THE 'TOO FAT POLKA'.
....Oh, I don't want her, you can have her, she's too fat for me, oh, she's too fat for me, oh, she's too fat for me; oh I don't want her, you can have her, she's too fat for me; she's too fat, she's too fat, she's too fat for me;......
again...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and now I shall end my trip down memory lane.
ANY OTHER OLDER PEOPLE REMEMBER THESE SONGS; THEY WERE FROM THE 1950'S!!!
