Pat Buchanan: No Slur Was Intended Nor Made When Referring To ‘Your Boy’ Obama

Video
» 161 comments

Just as one fire involving a MSNBC contributor and their description of President Obama is finally put out, might a new one be starting? Today on Morning Joe, Mark Halperin returned to the show after his suspension for calling Obama a “dick.” Yet moments after Halperin completed his analysis of the debt deal, it was Pat Buchanan‘s turn to address his fresh controversy.

Last night we questioned the terminology used by Buchanan in a debate with Al Sharpton, and Buchanan didn’t waste any time attempting to set the record straight:

“Let me clarify something that happened last night on the Al Sharpton show, a very spirited discussion. I was asked who was the big losers in these battles, and the big winners. And I said one of the big losers, using boxing terminology, was ‘your boy’ and I meant the President of the United States. . . . This was taken – some folks took what I said as some kind of slur – none was meant, none was intended, none was delivered – for the record.”

It’s likely this will be all Buchanan says regarding the incident, and seems like a sufficient enough explanation. Discussing winners and losers, and how Obama was Sharpton’s “boy in the ring,” Buchanan’s potential offense (unlike Halperin’s) was in the heat of the moment, unintentional and probably requires a leap to make it truly offensive. Yet with Buchanan and Halperin as frequent Morning Joe guests, and the show’s loose format, it will be interesting to see if both men in the future refrain from even hinting at a name for Obama other than “President.”

    Common phrase  used by Blacks and Whites-He gets a pass. Really truly a non story.

    Funny considering all the screwed up things this guy has actually said over the years somebody thinks this is an issue.

    Look no farther to see what is wrong with this country.

    Sad.

    Not intended, sure was delivered tho. 

    I agree with Valerie though, non story…

    I’m sick and tired of all this ‘PC’ shit!! If he had called him a ‘man’..that would be ok? Because that would be a lie.

    Ultimate goal of defeating racism is race beoomes a non-factor.  Irony is Buchanon clearly was not thinking anything racial when he used the common term.  If he was, he clearly wouldn’t have said it.  Its sad that some cant see the obvious lack of motive, crying racism and MAKING race a factor.  Including you, Frances.

    No way was that unintentional…..White Southerner calling a grown Black Man “boy” has always been a slur and insult. 

    Pat Buchanan calling Obama “boy” to another Black man was meant as nothing else but a racist comment.  Reme,ber this is the same man who just a few days indicated he agreed wuth the Norweigian Killer’s ideology.

    ” it will be interesting to see if both men in the future refrain from even hinting at a name for Obama other than “President.”
    I would think it difficult to discuss the President and his actions on a daily basis without slipping up once in a while and referring to HeHimself with something truthful like “good god this clown is destroying our country”. 

  • Glenn Bovine

    Yes, Pat.

    Like if I call you and the little gNOpiggies, “my biootches” is just a term of endearment.

    Shut up, byiooootches.

    The fact that he felt the need to apologize, just proves how thin-skinned the left in this country is.  You cannot even use everyday terms when speaking because some offended lib could possibly take it the wrong way.  Why should we let the offended dictate what the true Americans in this nation say and do.

    Are you kidding me??  You have “liked” so many comments calling Tea Party and those that you don’t agree with, racists.  Now all of the sudden you have an epiphany and realize what you are advocating is ruining the country?  It doesn’t quite work like that, either you love the race card being overplayed as it damages your political opposition, or think it’s destroying honest debate in this country and needs to stop, you can’t have both.

    How is what Pat said racist at all? Its pretty common for people to use that phrase, “he’s your boy”. I love how nobody at Mediaite points out that Sharpton is the guy who said he wanted to “cut Obama’s nuts off”.

  • Exgoper

    Wrong. Each use of a racially charged phrase can be viewed in its context — what was said, how it was said, who said it and to whom. I’ve heard Pat Buchanan use this and similar phrases in the past and it’s obvious to any reasonable person that he’s not playing the race card. (If, however, he’d said something like, “your boy Barack Hussein Obama,” that would be quite a different manner.)

  • The_Reasonable_Lib

    You’re thinking of Jesse Jackson, boy.

  • Yukon Jack

    If the President was a female, those who support her would say: “You go GIRL!!”, and it would be considered as a heartfelt and sympathetic encouragement.

  • Valerie

    Actually the worst thing about so called conservatives is that they feel that the PC police is inhibiting their freedom of speech. Conservatives think you should be allowed to say whatever you want without repercussions. As I have been told by many a conservative PC is destroying America by silencing debate-this is akin to saying I am a racist I should be allowed to racist things if I base them on “facts.”

    Sad.

    I’m not really sure whether Pat was or was not being racist.  Everyone (with functioning brain matter) knows that Pat is a known bigot and racist.  He can easily fall into the either or category.  That he made a statment about it could just as well means he sincerely did not want to be misunderstood or that he just didn’t like getting caught so quickly! 

    Pat was a bigoted racist long before the tired tea nuts came on the scene, so with him it’s always a matter of which way is his White Nationalist views blowing.

    I am really surprised by all of these people who don’t know the connotations of the word “boy” when referring to a black person. Slave owners and racists in the south during the 60′s often referred to black men as “boys”. It was a way to demean and degrade men of color.
    That being said, I listen to Pat often and he uses this terminology when referring to many people, including GW Bush! I do not believe he intended this term as a reference to Obama’s race although when Al Sharpton was taken aback, I am sure he realized how it sounded later and then thought he needed to clarify this morning.

  • Anonymous

    Let’s be honest. The Liberals knew when putting up Obama for the nomination that they would have an ace in the hole with being able to shut down all criticism of him by screaming “racist” at every turn. They also knew they had a spare in Hillary. If she would have won the nomination then they could have used “sexist” to shut down all argument. It makes no difference that the left can talk about lynching Clarence Thomas or calling black Conservatives Uncle Tom. It makes no difference that they call Sara Palin and Michelle Bachman c*nt, slut, whore…All that matters is you don’t say anything like that to a Liberal.

    The left has no idea what hypocrisy is or what it means.

    Buchanan shouldn’t have wasted his time apologizing. I’ve heard Buchanan use that term a hundred times.

It’s the people who are ignoring the fact that race is an issue who are “destroying honest debate in this country.” Wake up and pay attention, or does your own racial blindness prevent you from doing so? We are not “playing the race card” simply because we point out a racial bias or disrespect.

    It’s an opportunity to pounce on someone whom the professional left (and their youth auxilliary here at mediatite) already thinks/knows is racist.

    Pat B did critisize him for being Black when saying “your Boy” as some on the left have tried to say. That is Political Correctness at it’s core. When you can’t say something harmless without someone figuring out a way to be offended.

    LOL. Calling him an “it” and a “boy.” Like he’s not fully human!

  • Calligal

    That is plain horseshit!

    They might get some mileage from the race card if the economy wasn’t in the tank. As things stand now, most white people will regard it for what it actually is: a red herring.

    Men have referred to other man as boys for pretty much ever. The Boys From Brazil. The Boys are Back In Town. Bad Boys. Is all of that racist? Women have too. Let’s Hear it for the Boy. Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. How about the Beach Boys and the Beastie Boys? Racists?

    I would like to hear more about the slave owners in the 60′s, though. Did they ever call black men “dumbass” or maybe “asshole”? If so, are those terms racist?

    WOW, I totally agree.  If someone says white whatever NO ONE even blinks.  SO WHAT. I find it crazy what people think is important these days.  I found this blog by chance and it cracks me up.

  • Sean68

    So Buchanan isn’t as protective of the black male psyche as some would have him be. So what? Most of us do know the history behind this particular taboo. It’s the reason blacks started referring to one another as “man” and to white males of all ages as “white boy.” Remember that the next time you hear some black guy call a grown white man “white boy’. It’s commonly used and make no mistake, it’s an insult.

  • Sean68

    Sharpton is a seasoned race-hustling a-hole. He’s been playing  on white liberal sensibilities for decades now. He pointed out that Buchanan used the term “boy” knowing full well that wasn’t how Buchanan meant it. Sharpton and those of hil ilk leap on shit like this without even thinking. It’s reflexive bad faith. They just can’t help themselves. The good news is, most white people have developed immunity to these bad faith accusations.

    So always err on the side of calling him a racist. That’s a good lesson. Teach it to your spawm, f-stick

    Buchanan tried to justify it by saying that it was not racially tinged or denigrating slur, that it was a boxing terminology.  He tried to take cover by saying  by saying that Rev agreed with him and also used a boxing terminology “the rope-a-dope.”  Not so fast Buchanan,  Rev Al did not  use the word rope-a-dope until after Bunchanan said “your boy.”  Rev. Ale used the phrase “rope-a-dope” when he told Bunchanan that resident Obama had bamboozled the GOP and the American people now realize how dangerous the Tea Partiers in Congress were.

    Pat Buchannan knew exactly what he was saying and how it would be viewed the second time he said it after Al Sharpton gave him a heads up about using the word boy in reference to the President of the United States. Buchannan is an old time unapolegetic racist and revels in slipping in every racist term he thinks he can get away with.

    Calling Obama Sharpton’s boy is offensive. Everyone knows Obama is Bill Ayers’ boy.

    I did not mean slavery during the 60′s as I am sure you know. I meant it was used during slavery. The term was also used during the 60′s in the south. Thats it. I am not saying the word itself is racists. I am commenting on the fact that people on here are pretending that they have no idea why the term could possibly be seen by a black person as having negative connotations. If you review my comments, I am actually saying that Pat was using the term in the general way that you use in your examples (my boy, the boys are back in town, et al) and that it was not referring to his race or that he was not trying to demean Obama.

    Here’s a challenge.  Go to a conservative web site, such as Town Hall, and count how many times a black person is attacked for the color of his or her skin.  And then go to the Daily Kos and count how many times Christians are attacked for their religious beliefs.  Then come back and report on the results.

    Based on my experience, attacks on Christians will out-number attacks on people’s skin color by a ratio of at least 1,000 to 1.  

    Here’s another experiment: post a racist comment at Mediaite or a comparable, and see how long it takes before a moderator removes it.  Then make the exact same statement about a Christian, and see if it is ever removed.   In other words, statement one will be “All blacks are (fill in the blank)” and the second statement will be “All Christians are (fill in the blank).”  I think it’s easy to predict the result of this experiment too.

    Count the number of African Americans in political office that has made a comment that would give you a thought that they were being a racists.  I will help you, none.  if you like the United States filled with hate and racism then you should get in line with the racists, hood wearing individuals and eat crow when there is a CHANGE made to this country.

    Having lived in and through the bigotry and discrimination of the 60′s and 70′s in Texas and the south, I know first hand the latent bigotry and prejudice and how it continues to manifest itself. There is no excuse and the “Token blacks” calling themselves TEA party-ers should take care responding to this encounter. Every rant saying there is no racism is an empty rant if you never lived in the south during the 60′s and 70′s. These name calling and prejudicial rants are becoming louder and louder in every forum or web site I visit. Polarization has gained steam on a down hill track with no brakes to apply! Wake up America or we’ll become two separate factions like the Shiites and the Sunnis.

    Sorry Dronetek but it was Jessie Jackson.  See how you got that wrong? Maybe if you put more thought into it you will understand how call any BLACK MAN A BOY is racist, but besides that…whether you or anyone else doesn’t like it, HE IS THE PRESIDENT!!

    The white man made up the “N” word. Believe me, it was not meant to be a term of endearment. It was ribald in its content and its meaning. If he had not meant it in a derogatory manner, he would have just mentioned the person he was speaking of by name. Every ethnicity has a ribald moniker created by the white race to distinguish them from the whites.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Erma-Jean/730640837 Erma Jean

    Buchanan is indeed a racist. I’m not calling him a racist because of that comment. I’m calling him a racist because I remember his as a blatant racist in the 70′s.  He may not have been thinking of what he was saying because it’s so much a part of his culture and nature. He just did it without thinking because he does it all of the time when he’s with his white friends and colleagues.

    You just said God. Has the sky fallen on you? I’m a Christian. I pray whenever and wherever I choose. I pray in the grocery line, on the job, in my car, in the shopping center. People are not forbidden to pray. I don’t have to kneel down to pray. This idea that people will be arrested if they pray is sheer folly. Prayer is as private as voting. No one has to know who you’re voting for to make the vote count. God doesn’t care that you don’t pray on the street corners. Isn’t that what he criticized the Pharisee’s for? They were praying loud on the street corners to be seen by others.

    Jessie Jackson said that about cutting off President Obama’s N**s, not Al Sharpton.
