“Boy” is racist!

We read:

“U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, a Hebron Republican, compared Obama and his message for change similar to a “snake oil salesman.” He said in his remarks at the GOP dinner that he also recently participated in a “highly classified, national security simulation” with Obama.

“I’m going to tell you something: That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button,” Davis said. “He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country.”

Big uproar on the Left about that, of course (e.g here). In many countries “boy” is undoubtedly a traditional term for a male servant of any age but I would have thought it clear that Davis was referring to the immature level of Obama’s behavior.

    >>>”boy”

    Shows how paternalistic Liberals are towards blacks. Just how when anybody says “monkey” Liberals see “blacks”.

    First thing I thought of was how folks who are older than the person they’re talking about a lot of times use the word ‘boy’ or ‘girl’. 9 times out of 10, if I’m talking about a teenager, I’ll call them a ‘kid’ (and I’m almost 44, *chuckle)
