"Poll question: Quick Question and be honest:" Wed Sep-09-15 11:21 AM by Damali
For whatever reason, Ive just introduced you to my mom; her name is Mary Mack. I tell you, this is my mom. You hear me call her mom. You see that she is ok with me calling her mom. What will you call her, right off the bat, without asking first?

If you and I are friends then I will call her Ms. Mary. If we know each other only professionally and/or you are not black I will call her Ms. Mack. Note; I am from the south.

I don't call other people parents "Mom". Never did. Never will. Mrs Blank is good enough for me. Or if we are that familiar, I abbreviate Mrs. B. No further though.
I even know ladies that prefer I call them Mom. I say ok Mrs. B.

EXACTLY what I came to say!!!!
I understand...he shouldn't have called her Ice T's "bottom bitch." But if Ice T calls her "wife," I wouldn't meet her and say "Hey wife," yet, I will refer to her as Ice-T's Wife.

i would refer to her as Damali's mom when speaking about her... but i would not call her Damali's mom... as in "Excuse me, Damali's mom, can you pass me the salt please?"

43. "um did somebody say 'Hey Ice T's bottom Bitch' to her" In response to Reply # 17
bc that isn't the same as typing it on a message board that she 99% won't see.
This is such a logic fail.

have the language skills to formally address my wife and I. I noticed that the one neighbor has been correcting her kids to address me as Mr. FLUIDJ...I like that. I prefer that children address nearby adults in a more formal fashion.
59. "I learned in the army that titles go both ways" In response to Reply # 51
Captain Smith doesn't call Sgt Jones "Jones", he calls him "Sgt Jones" because both men deserve the respect of their title. I carried with me when I got out. If I address you by a title, it means that our relationship is formal or professional, which means you should also call me by my title. I'd rather be on a first name basis with people.
44. "How would she liked to be addressed as?" In response to Reply # 0
I personally would call her Ms. Mack, but if she prefers to be addressed as mom or her first name, then I would oblige. I would feel uncomfortable calling someone mom unless we had a STRONG rapport.
48. "none of the above...." In response to Reply # 0
I would call her, Ms Mary Mack...mack mack...all dressed in black...black....black. with silver buttons...buttons...buttons....all down her back....back...back.
"As I've explained before, the meaning of human language changes with context. That is why you may call your wife honey, but I probably should not. That is why Toby Keith referring to himself as "White Trash With Money" will never be the same as me accusing Toby of being "white trash with money." That is why Dan Savage proposing a column entitled "Hey Faggot!" will never be the same as me seeing Dan Savage on the street and yelling "Hey Faggot!" This is how humans use language, and it is wholly consistent with how black humans use language. The effort to punish this use, like all respectability politics, is an effort to punish black humanity, is racism. "

56. "you are using this all types of wrong" In response to Reply # 49
people will refer to Dan Savages piece as the "Hey Faggot" price and the only people who would be outraged are those who don't know he has a segment with that name.
Pretty sure people also refer to Toby Keith as the white trash name he gave himself. "You going to see TK? Hell yeah, white trash with money 8s my boy!"
so when someone says... who is that white girl with the fat ass? and someone says "that's Ice T's bottom bitch, CoCo"
it's not a big deal. My wife is from the south and she schooled me on the bottom dollar bitch way back when we first met. I thought it was throwing shade but she was like nah, the bottom dollar bitch is the #1.
the only people offended by that term are the people who have no idea it's something those women take pride in. They put in work to get that label.
