Go ahead. Words mean nothing in politics. Only actions count.
And it seems to matter who is doing those actions are what makes them right or wrong to far too many.

When I was in the military being called a white boy was the slur of choice for black people. Quite irritating at the time. From what I understand this is a non-story above from the hair on fire Libs. Do better.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.”

Being called white boy is distasteful. But it isn’t on the heels of hundreds of years of slavery and over a hundred of Jim Crow and lynchingWhen I was in the military being called a white boy was the slur of choice for black people. Quite irritating at the time. From what I understand this is a non-story above from the hair on fire Libs. Do better.
I had nothing to do with slavery or Jim Crow yet I was called a white boy constantly. I was from a small town with no black people so that was my first experience with them. My first taste of racism left me with some very bad feelings.Being called white boy is distasteful.

“Boy” in this context equals the “N” word
It just does
BoohooI had nothing to do with slavery or Jim Crow yet I was called a white boy constantly. I was from a small town with no black people so that was my first experience with them. My first taste of racism left me with some very bad feelings.
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.
Hell…being called a white boy should be considered the greatest compliment one could possibly offer…I thank God everyday for my whiteness.When I was in the military being called a white boy was the slur of choice for black people.

I’m sure you’re a hit at the Klan meetingsHell…being called a white boy should be considered the greatest compliment one could possibly offer…I thank God everyday for my whiteness.
And I get to point out how terrible and hypocritical both parties are.
There’s nothing wrong with taking pride in your skin color…You tell dark people to be proud of their melanin all the time…don’t you?I’m sure you’re a hit at the Klan meetings

You are a disgrace
You need to come out of your shell.I actually am admired by most people.

She let it slipShe has the “right” to say racist shit
And we have the right to call her out on it
She let it slip
You could see she was comfortable in calling black men “boy”
Weak. Nobody cares.
You’re capable of hearing the word boy in its proper context because you’re not a hyper sensitive leftist who has been programmed to hear dog whistle words.
