Joe Biden refers to Maryland’s first Black governor as ‘boy’ in speech
washingtontimes ^ | By Jeff Mordock

President Biden on Wednesday used the term “boy” while referring to Wes Moore, Maryland’s first Black governor, in a speech about the economy.

Speaking in Maryland, Mr. Biden gave a shout to the governor, recalling Mr. Moore’s days playing wide receiver on Johns Hopkins University’s football team.

“You got a hell of a new governor in Wes Moore. He’s the real deal and the boy looks like he can still play,” the 80-year-old Mr. Biden said. “He’s got some guns on him.”

Using the word “boy” to describe a Black man is often viewed a racial slur. That’s because, historically, racist Whites used the term to suggest Blacks weren’t on equal footing with them, both before and after slavery.

Well, he is a boy compared to Old Joe who’s about 160 years old. Everyone’s a boy next to this decrepit old man.

Blacks using “boy” to describe a white man is 100% a deliberate racial slur now.

Or “Roaches”, as Biden referred to boys as a lifeguard.

As much as I deplore Biden, and the level is high, this is a non-story, IMO. I don’t think the comment was racial at all. Now, of course if a Republican said it, he’d be on the way to the gallows tomorrow morning, obviously.

“He’s got some guns on him” is kind of insensitive as well.

Biden will need to have Kamala explain it to him. I don’t think he has any notion of what that statement sounds like to most people today.

At least he didn’t say “I bet he’s hung like a horse”.
