Gonad has a problem calling Martin a "boy." Is that because he's a racist (ahem) or because he doesn't know much about the use of the word.

As for the reality, as far as I am concerned when he is old enough to leave home at night, walk to the store to buy drink and eats, confront a neighborhood watch person, and start punching on him, then he is no longer "boy" or a "child" .... he just grew up.....
.. and rather than cry and riot ... all young men ought to take notice.....
Don't start nothing you can't finish. Better: Don't start nothing!
