You’ll have to explain your comment.

Unless you know my past history of how I use words, you wont understand my explanation.

Because of his history of racist comments.

That's not an explanation. Don't bother replying unless you can demonstrate how the statement as used and in its context is racist.

No that wouldn’t sound right.

Is that how he said it?

Why isn’t it right? “Boy” isn’t racist, correct?

Okay.

If you don’t know how calling a back man “boy” is racist, then my explanation won’t help.

He didn't call a black man, "Boy". Try again.

He didn’t call him boy. He was talking about a boy from Louisiana.

Do you understand the contextual difference there or not? Because that’s what makes all the difference between a potentially racist remark or a completely benign statement. If you don’t understand there is a difference there then I have no interest in discussing this any further with you.

No, the denying racism exists is pretty much a left wing phenomenon.

So you admit that systemic racism is real? Or do you deny it?

Correct. Fortunately, the example you gave is not what the president said so it is entirely inconsequential to the matter at hand.

I guess now that the war in Afghanistan is over the right have to manufacture a new crisis to keep their base angry until the midterms and so we go back to Biden being a racist while ignoring the racist we just gave the boot back in November.

Not surprised to see such total nonsense spread around by D'Souza, who I had had the opportunity to defeat pretty soundly in public argument.

(Thanks people for giving me another opportunity to mention that.)

Yeah. Okay.

Well, I guess that’s the official spin.

Biden manufacturers all by himself, especially when he goes off script.

Oh so now you go from "racism" to "systemic racism". Can you explain how it works?

It’s literally his words he actually said, unlike your example of “come here boy” that he did not say.

It's all racism. I don't deny that either one exists, but you said that left-wingers (like me) deny that it exists. Meanwhile, the fact is that you are in denial of systemic racism at least, if not all racism. That's how that works.

I can agree with that but then, that’s not specifically racist. A little demeaning but I mean, I’m a grown man and have been called a boy by people who are much older than me. I’d never take it as a racial slur though.

I'm just saying that saying that about a black man could be considered racist, considering the historical connotations.

Cool...give me some examples of racism against white people and the problems it causes.

How can I be in denial of a concept you can't even explain?

And I didn’t say that he said it. I was addressing your comment that “boy” isn’t racist.
