I think it was a word used to refer to servants like bellhops and waiters, which in the South were often black. Calling someone “boy” when they aren’t serving you is offensive because you’re implying that they’re lesser than you.

Hollywood movie makers couldn't have racist southern stereotypes call people of socioeconomic factors niggers so they had them call them "boy" instead. So in other words, it's a completely made up slur.

Because "nigger" is taboo in Hollywood, so the studio execs had to come up with a slur for Southerners to say so the audience would know they are bad.

"Boy" in the old french capacity. Garcon means servant.
Foghorn Leghorn southern types in media are probably supposed to be racist but they always strike me as something more like those dicks who go to a restaurant snap their fingers at the waitstaff to summon them.

The way it was explained to me is that culture in the American South placed a lot of value on performative respect. You aren't "Josh" you're "Mr. Moon" if you're not on a "first name basis" to whomever is speaking with you.
Calling someone you should be at least performatively respectful to (tradesmen, shopkeepers, etc) by their first name is disrespectful. Not even bothering to call them by their name is even worse.
For those weeaboos out in the audience, it's supposedly not dissimilar to Japanese honorifics and respectful speech.

DING, DING, DING. (source: https://www.thoughtco.com/terms-many-dont-know-are-racist-2834522)
"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. Both during and after enslavement, Black people weren't viewed as full-fledged people but as mentally, physically, and spiritually inferior beings to White people."
If you call a black man "boy" in 2023 (especially if you're someone in the public eye), you're getting slammed as a racist 100%.
Not to mention that they banked hard on identity politics to formulate some appeal with normies and (especially) blacks. She was a carrot on a stick, dangled in front of the donkey's (npi) face to GOTV because OMGOMGOMG FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT WHO'S ALSO BLACK!!! YASSLAYKWEEN. Jettisoning her is spitting directly in the face of the blacks and telling them they're good for nothing but tokenism.
Remember, Jim Clyburn effectively saved Joe Biden's candidacy in 2020 in the make-or-break SC primary. Joe had done miserably prior, and he needed to win SC to prove his allure to the nogs, or else he'd have been finished. Clyburn was very clear that he wouldn't instruct his nog underlings to vote for Joe unless they got something in return (in this case, a pledge to seat the first black woman on SCOTUS). Joe promised that, Clyburn gave the go-ahead, and the rest is history.
Makes one wonder if a jettisoning of Kamala would make any nog politicians out there break ranks and encourage fellow nogs to stay home. Dumping her would just be so blatant, and I imagine some would be itching to send a cold, sober message to the DNC. Then again, we live in the time of VBNMW...

Sounds like the dems are getting a bit nervous about what the polls are saying about bidens support. I was wondering why this suddenly popped up but dems getting spooked by poll results explains alot
Imagine how desperate the democrats have to be to get taylor swift to start recruiting idiot fans to vote. Those swifties clearly aren't too swift

Im southern. In addition to the racial side of it, calling another grown man a "boy" regardless of race is extremely disrespectful, its akin to calling someone a baby/bitch. Blacks in the south love ganging up and insulting a white person by calling them "white boi".

Boy is common southern vernacular. It can be used as an insult but is mostly used by an older man to address a younger man. I got called boy by my family, neighbors, teachers, coaches, etc. We started pretending it was a racial slur because some politician that blacks didn't like said it. It's similar to when black people say white people can't say, "y'all," because it's cultural appropriation, when it's real origins are poor Irish and Scottish immigrants settling in Appalachia.
Basically this.

It's not the first time Joe calls a nigger boy, so I fail to see how the outcome will be different this time. Somebody will bitch for an hour, never gets repeated in the news cycle, down the memory hole it goes.
I'll never stop being amazed how "pattern recognition" seems to be such an alien skill to so many people.

"How do you do fellow conservatives? Gosh I sure hope we nominate anyone but Trump, who is totally not beating us in the poles to the point we can't even cover it up anymore. I mean, them. Beating them. Anyway, DeSantis 2024 because Trump is too old, and you'd have to be crazy to elect an old white guy. Trust me, I know."

I get what MIA is saying, but Trump is a spring chicken compared to Biden. I agree though we should have someone younger run. But Trump is the best we got, sadly.

It still amuses me that the DNC managed to sell an Indian-Jamaican (slaveowner descendant, btw) former pig prosecutor as a "YAS KWEEN BLACKED" representative. And of course, the niggercattle of the DNC plantation accepted it with mouth wide open.

I'm getting more convinced they'll get Newsom as time goes on. He's in the news a lot lately, over minor shit. The only governors I ever hear about in the media now are Abbott, DeSantis, and him. I might just be imagining it though, since he scares me the most out of all them. The under 40 female vote will hand him it, no problem. He's their American Pol Pot Trudeau.

Her very existance is a joke that will shut up those faggots in one of the simplest ways:
They will either be too retarded to understand the meaning, agree with the "far-right" dogwhistle in the middle of their purity spiral, or shut the fuck up.
Either way.

Guy looks like a gigantic faggot, but I think he has enough braincells to know that going in on 2024 is a horrible idea.
Doesn't mean he won't appear on the ballot, just that I expect a lot of shit will need to be given to him to butter up the deal to accept running and winning after fortication in the middle of the collapse.
