Brazen White GOP Rep Refuses to Apologize for Racial Insult

[ThisIsMe]

Horseshit. I am about as Southern as they get and as white as they come. Call me boy and we probably going to throw down.

Again, if you are southern, then you know ow when it's being used as an insult and when it's not.

I've lived most of my life in the south as well, and you know the difference.

Here, let me give you an example: (when addressing a black person)

"God dang boy, did you drink that entire 24 pack yourself?" = not racist

"You need to get off my land, BOY!" = racist

There is a difference.

 

[Zafira Cherry]

No one owes you an apology, Boi.

you got mommy issues

 

[Lesh]

call it what you will. I just think you are searching for outrage.

If she was talking directly TO Mr Greene, and used that word, with emphasis on the word "boy", I'd agree, but this was her talking casually ABOUT Mr greene, with no emphasis on the word boy...i think it was just random vernacular.

Keep trying to excuse this racist bullshit.

It’s not working but it tells us who you really are

It is nothing LIKE using the word “dude”

Bless your heart

Sure it is, you just don't want it to be

Sorry buddy… but using the word “boy” in reference to a black MAN.. after 150 or so years of Jim Crow… is the equivalent of using the “N” word

Bless your heart

 

[Hellokitty]

Ask him not me.

Okay I'm confused, is Boy a racial insult or just an insult?
The left has no issue calling black conservatives Uncle Toms, but I've never heard of them calling a white person an Uncle Tom. Uncle Tom is clearly a racial insult. Boy seems to be just an insult.

I admit I don't know the whole story on the BOY comment, but was anything made of the term PROP? Curious because dems like to insult black conservatives by calling them PROPS.

Lesh, it's no excuse. I'm just trying to call out the BS here. This is a page out of a very old playbook, that the left uses constantly. These accusations are nothing new.

As far as what it tells YOU? That's not really of concern, we already know you leftys think all Republicans are racists..hell, you got people on these forums who have accused me of being a white racist..all the time, yet they can never tell me WHY they think I'm white, lol.

So, whatever my comments tell you, well, you're just plain wrong.

You're simply looking to be outraged.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Bullshit and YOU know it

Nope, not at all.

You all need to understand how southerners talk and. HOW they use these words.

You do realize that white southern guys refer to other white southern guys as "boy", right? And as Winston eluded to, whether they are fighting words or not is dependent on the context and the tone of voice in which they are said.

Yup. Excuse after excuse… and lots of word salad excusing this racism

Sure, but we're not in jim crow south anymore, and people are not the raging racists that you all think they are. Some people say things and they don't mean any harm by them, it's just how they talk, but leave it up to people like you to assign meaning to their words, that they never intended.

What do we have here? Well Tennessee Rep. Diana Harshbarger called Texas Rep. Al Green “boy”.
Any of you Tennesseans, what do you say about this? In my opinion, this is the MAGA Party.

Green, who is 77, held a press conference in Texas earlier Tuesday alongside other community leaders in which he noted his personal experience with such racially coded language.

“This is especially sensitive for me because, as a child, I remember my father being stopped by a peace officer, and the officer referred to my father as ‘boy.’ And my mother was ‘girl.’ And it wasn’t just that one time. It was the way society addressed people of color who were of African ancestry at the time,” Green said.

“It wasn’t said to indicate that you were youthful. It was said to demean, to degrade, to denigrate. It was said such that you would know your place in society, and it was something that you would have said immediately to you.”

Brazen White GOP Rep Refuses to Apologize for Racial Insult

A white GOP congresswoman who called Texas Rep. Al Green “boy” didn’t apologize for her comment Tuesday and instead claimed that the senior Black lawmaker is “blowing it out of proportion.” More than 24 hours after an interview clip of her using the word in reference to Green gained attention...

Hmmm…I think the White Rep was quite nice…I would refer to Adam Schiff and Al Green as Fucking Ni__ers!

Nah I’m good, I use the word aloud daily…It’s how I refer to Adam Schiff and all others like him.

I’m sure you do use it regularly

At Klan meetings etc.

Sucks that ya can’t here huh?

 

[Darkwind]

you got mommy issues

Not at all. You, however, get triggered at words that you misunderstand.

Perhaps you should have mommy explain it to you.

 

[mudwhistle]

Again, and understanding of southern vernacular is needed. Its similar to how some people use the word "dude" when referencing other guys.

Again, you all are trying to look for something that isn't there.

I'm not looking for anything.
Both sides need to mind their Ps & Qs and not give the lying left ammunition.

They do? When did they say that?
