There is a great big world out there, I never assume something that happens where I live is the norm in some other part of the country.
I was also raised by a man who was frequently addressed as "boy" for his first 30 years on this planet, even while serving his country. So one of his "things" was that all of his children were to address adults as Mr., Miss, or Mrs. and that we were always to address his brothers and sisters as Uncle or Aunt.
Sorry if that so offensive to some. I don't know why it should bother anybody else. I'm not telling anybody else how they should be addressed.

Going from how we have players address us to making up for Jim Crow seemed like a very big difference in seriousness and tone to me. I didn't see the connection before but now I do.
