in the 60s Jazz musicians started calling eachother "man", in retaliation to being called "boy" by white people.

This is where the term we use today comes from "mannnn"

Black excellence :blessed:

do not underestimate the use of language.

There's a big difference between a random black man calling you a nword, in comparison to calling you a brother

same with 'man' and 'boy'

:salute:
