President Joe Biden has a long history of saying racist things and pushing racist crime bills. That Biden showed up again Monday while speaking about Hurricane Ida's impacts on Louisiana and other southern states.
One of Biden's main advisors is a former Congressman from New Orleans Cedric Richmond. Richmond now serves in the Biden Administration as director of the White House Office of Public Engagement. To Biden though, Richmond is the 'boy who knows Louisiana very, very well and New Orleans.' Watch here.
Richmond is Black.
From ThoughtCo:
In most situations, the word "boy" is not a problem. Used to describe a Black man, however, the word is troublesome. That's because historically, White people routinely described Black men as boys to suggest they weren't on equal footing with them.
Biden should know better since he's so 'woke.' But, he doesn't. Look at his history.
In the '80s and '90s then a Senator, Biden, would often use the word, 'thugs,' to describe inner-city youth. From Reader's Digest: “Thug” conjures images of a little old and terrified white lady going up in an elevator with a Black man who isn’t wearing a suit. Perhaps the word wouldn’t be so racially charged if it weren’t typically used to describe Black men.
Biden gonna Biden.
