Not racist at all Rich. In fact, it's a term of loving endearment. I'm thinking you should locate the largest Black man you can find, quickly run up to him and share this wonderful term of endearment. He will love it and will probably give you big hugs and love taps to show his affection in kind. Go ahead and try it and let us know how it goes with your new found friend.
