Fresh off Joe Biden’s liberal media-ignored white supremacist controversy comes something else they won’t report on. An article has surfaced of Biden referring to Jesse Jackson as “boy.” This is pretty close to calling him the N-word. Well, it would be if Biden were a Republican. That “D” after his name excuses him from all racism. At this rate we can expect to see a Biden blackface picture on Friday and over the weekend a video of his speech at a KKK rally will surface.
Journalist Walker Bragman dug up an article from 1984 that had a troubling quote from then-Senator Joes Biden:

Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.), while praising Democratic presidential candidate Jesse L. Jackson, used the word “boy” to refer to him and Sen. Gary Hart (D-Colo.) during an informal news conference here late Friday night.
Jackson “is one of the brightest guys around,” Biden said in remarks made after a speech. “That boy ain’t no dummy, just like Gary Hart, that boy ain’t no dummy either.”
Biden’s remark came in response to a reporter’s question about the impact of Jackson’s candidacy on the Democratic Party.
The accuracy of this quote was confirmed by reporter David Poole, who was at the press conference in 1984:
Afterward, Biden strutted into the press room like a slugger who’d just hit one out of the park. Too intimidated to venture a question, I listened as reporters quizzed Biden about presidential politics. Someone asked Biden about the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who a few months earlier had won the Democratic primary in Virginia. I can’t remember the exact question, but I’ll never forget Biden’s answer.
“Jesse Jackson, that boy ain’t no dummy,” Biden said, quickly adding, “and Gary Hart, that boy ain’t no dummy either.”
None of the half-dozen or so reporters challenged Biden to explain his choice of words. He took a few more questions and went on his way.
It wasn’t until he left that reporters started asking each other, “Did he just say what I thought he said?” A radio reporter rewound his tape, and we all heard it again.
The reporters soon had themselves whipped into a froth. Several of them hadn’t planned on filing stories that night, but Biden’s slip had given the journalists a chance to carry their bylines onto the front page for a national audience.
Clearly reporters at the time found this Biden statement shocking, though almost none of them filed a story about it.
Now here’s how Biden’s people are going to try to put this fire out at the off chance the liberal media raises any questions:
First, they will say that Biden was giving praise to Jesse Jackson for being smart so therefore also calling him “boy” was not racist. Okay, now try this: “Jesse Jackson is one smart N-word.” Yeah, that’s racist and so is saying he’s a “smart boy.”
Next, they will point out that Biden also called Gary Hart, who is white, a “boy” so it’s not racist. Okay, try this: “Jackson and Hart are a couple of smart N-words.” Throwing in a white guy doesn’t cancel out the racism directed at the black man.
The real test to determine if this was racist is by inserting Donald Trump in place of Biden. If someone dug up an article from 1984 in which Trump referred to Jesse Jackson as “boy” what do you think the liberal media reaction would be? Honestly, there wouldn’t be anything on the news for 2 weeks besides hysterical liberals condemning Trump’s racism.
Since Biden announced his candidacy a couple of months ago, a week doesn’t go by without something insanely racist from his past popping up. He was against racial integration, he thinks blacks are terrible parents, he voted to reinstate Robert E. Lee’s US citizenship, and he brags about his cozy relationship with white supremacists.
My question is, why is this stuff just coming out now? Where was this the 2 previous times he tried and failed at running for president? Why didn’t we hear about any of his racism during the 2008 and 2012 elections when he was Obama’s running mate?
