Biden calls Black adviser ‘boy’ during FEMA briefing

Of course not. Nobody except old guys still living in the '50's call negroes 'boy'. Of course not. Nobody except old guys still living in the '50's call negroes 'boy'. Actually I don't hear negroes complaining about being called 'nigger'. They call each other that.
Apparently 'boy' and 'nigger' are only offensive to woke white folk.
But I do find it insulting that Biden called his black adviser 'boy'. Especially since he relies 100% on advisers.
Maybe the black guy he called boy should refer to Biden as his boy.

Well that was back in the 50's.

I have never heard of being called "boy" being offensive to the "woke" white folks.

When someone asks you if you know anyone who is knowledgeable in areas that they are asking about and you tell them, "this here is my boy who is very intelligent and this one you should be directing questions to you", is that offensive?

If the 'boy' is black, yes. There are different rules for blacks and whites. Get woke for fuck's sake!
 
- This is my dude who is very knowledgeable about the stuff. Ask this dude questions.
- This is my main man who is very knowledgeable about the stuff. Ask my main man questions.
- This is my boy who is very knowledgeable about the stuff. Ask him questions.
- This is my man who is very knowledgeable about the stuff. Ask that man questions.

How is "boy" a racist term?

Boy
In most situations, the word "boy" is not a problem. Used to describe a Black man, however, the word is troublesome. That's because historically, White people routinely described Black men as boys to suggest they weren't on equal footing with them. Both during and after enslavement, Black people weren't viewed as full-fledged people but as mentally, physically, and spiritually inferior beings to White people. Calling Black men "boys" was one way to express the racist ideologies of yesteryear.

Court finally says ‘boy’ comments are racist


The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals finally recognized that a supervisor’s use of the word ‘boy’ to refer to black employees is sufficient evidence of racism.

I am dumbfounded as to why it took the court so long to acknowledge that referring to a black man as “boy” is racist.

It depends on how it is used. Boy, I bet even you can imagine understand it is mostly harmless.

Then why did you say you didn't know what it means earlier? Trolling? Like I said, this is what you do.

You used the term "woke".

Here's your quote: "Apparently 'boy' and 'nigger' are only offensive to woke white folk."

I know what "woke" means. But I have no clue what your definition of it is. It's like you are making up a definition of the word that I have no clue about.

Biden calls Black adviser ‘boy’ during FEMA briefing

President Biden called a Black adviser “boy” during a Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) briefing on Monday.

The president used the term while introducing his senior adviser Cedric Richmond, a former Louisiana congressman.

“I’m here with my senior adviser and boy who knows Louisiana very, very well and New Orleans, Cedric Richmond,” Biden said at a press briefing with FEMA after Hurricane Ida rocked Louisiana.

“Boy” is considered to be a racially derogatory term toward Black men.

The president was criticized for his use of the term during his 2020 presidential campaign, when he recalled how segregationist Democrat Sen. James O. Eastland called him “son” but never “boy.”

Biden was also accused of making a racist remark during his presidential campaign when he infamously claimed that if a Black person did not vote Democrat, then they “ain’t black.”

The president’s latest slip came as he was engaged in a press conference with FEMA after Hurricane Ida made landfall in Louisiana.

The White House didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

You are overreacting over some petty bs, considering African Americans refer to their loved ones who they are proud of as in 'my boy'. It would have been different had President Biden used the 'N' word but he didn't, who was President Obama's devoted Vice President. Yet tRump frequently used the 'N' word against people of color. You hypocrites need to suck it up and move on as if you care about African Americans of color among whom also frequently use the 'N' word:

Additionally, President Biden has achieved the most diverse cabinet ever:

Biden’s full Cabinet of 15 executive secretaries was confirmed by the US Senate in a series of votes beginning in January and culminating last week with the approval of Marty Walsh as secretary of labor.

Key Cabinet secretaries include Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen and Attorney General Merrick Garland who heads the Justice Department.

Other Cabinet-level positions that required confirmation by the Senate include the Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, US Trade Representative Katherine Tai and UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield.

The Cabinet also includes Vice President Kamala Harris and White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain for a total of 25 members in addition to the president.

All told, the Biden Cabinet is the most diverse in US history with 10 women, six Black Americans, 4 Hispanics and the first Native American to hold a Cabinet post."
