Bad example. The very fact you can’t even write out the word without getting a knock from mods here tells the word is an obvious insult and clearly racist whereas ‘boy’ is not.
Cool.
Then I have to wonder what schools do when they have to mention anything about a black kid. Do they avoid the word boy altogether in that case?
Nazis, confederate sympathizers. It’s all the same racist nonsense to me.
I’m having a great time watching y’all try turn the benign word boy into the new N word. This will surely be Biden’s downfall.
Yes. The N word is a racist word with a well known racist history behind it that is understood by just about everyone. There’s even a big push within the black community to discourage themselves from using it against each other for that very reason.
It’s insulting no matter who uses the term. That some people are allowed to get away with it doesn’t change the very obvious meaning of the term. There’s no instance where you can casually use the word in conversation and not come across like an ignorant racist jerk.
Right. That’s why you often hear so much about people being canceled for using the word boy, right?
Calling someone "your boy", calling someone "a boy from....", and referring to someone as "Boy" are different things. People that do not understand nuance, language and context fail to comprehend this.
It's been proven but you don't accept it - there are entire threads about it. You always give it a pass by refusing to accept the evidence. As for Biden, whether he has said racist things in the past or not has no bearing on whether this particular comment is racist, and it isn't.
Right, I don’t disagree with any of that. I disagree with the contention in this thread that the word boy carries the same connotation.
Same here. But his comment wasn’t about them. It was about people on both sides of the statue argument. It’s obvious that you’ve just bought the lie about what he said, and never actually read it or heard it.
Just so I understand, if Biden had said to his advisor, “Come here, boy”, that would be perfectly acceptable and nobody would be in an uproar?
