Brazen White GOP Rep Refuses to Apologize for Racial Insult

[Zafira Cherry]

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.”

You are a disgrace

I actually am admired by most people.

 

[pknopp]

Not one to defend the GOP but what I read is she said "Boy oh boy". Not the same as calling someone "boy".

 

[Blaster]

Green should resign from Congress.

Come on, really? Leave it to left wing sites like daily beast to scour the internet looking for every phrase they can to try and claim it's racism.

Look, the woman is from tennessee...she's a country girl, you can hear it in her voice...that's just how country folk talk. The use of the term "boy" is just a mannerism for them. They use that word for ANY male person regardless of race.

No one owes you an apology, Boi.

it's not bullshit lesh, you must not have spent any time in the south, have you?

Now, what IS bullshit is how you leftys look for any and every reason to claim racism. You try to find it in places it doesn't exist.

Real racism needs to be rooted out, but stuff like this is just overblown.

Dimwingers can’t define a boy or a girl.

This is the best the Dems have? Bwahahahaha!!!
