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"

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:
