• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Biden gave a speech at the Congressional Black caucas Foundation's
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Annual Legislative Conference on Saturday. The reason I repeated where
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: he was at twice is because the audience is very
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: important in this situation, you talking to black people. Okay,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: not to mention all this stuff is written for the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: President or his writers. Gonna share some of this he
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: had too, Okay. Now, President Biden was honoring recipients of

  Speaker 2: this year's awards that recognized individuals who have made significant
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: contributions society One of the recipients was the great James
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Todd Smith LL cool J, dropping the clues bomps for
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: LL cool J, and while giving his speech about ll
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: this happened the two of the.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Great artists of our time, representing the groundbreaking legacy of
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: hip hop in America. Ll J cool J, by the way,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: that boy's got you got man's got biceps bigger than
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: my thighs.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I think he spent ll J cool J. We'll get
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: back to that in a second.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: A lot of people are upset that Joe Biden referred
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to LL cool J as a boy. As you can hear,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: he corrected himself on the spot. You know why Joe
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Biden corrected himself because he's one hundred and thirty seven
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: years old. He fully understands the word boy in the
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: racial context around a white man referring to a black man.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: This boy, see, boy is absolutely a white racist word
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: when used in a certain context. And I know that
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: because I'm from South Carolina dropping the clues bomb for
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, and because i was raised watching Good Times, Okay,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and a young scholar by the name of Mike Eleven
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: broke that down to us.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Why boy is a white racist word.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, it was season one, episode nine.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: You remember this, right, boy is white racist worse. That's
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: all you needed to hear.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, once you knew that, you understood that boy with
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a white racist word. When the word boy is referred uh,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: when we when somebody uses the word boy to refer
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to an adult black man and the speaker is white,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: that takes on a whole different meaning.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And do you know in Alabama a.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: White supervisor passed up a brother for a promotion and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: called the brother a boy, and that black man sued, Yes,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: he worked at Tyson Chicken and Goats in Alabama, suit
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: his employer for workplace discrimination.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Look up the case.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: His name was a John Hitthen I think I pronounced
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: his name right en Hi t h and one. He
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: sued his employee for workplace discrimination and two separate juries
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: awarded Hitten back pay and punitive damages. And the US
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court agreed that the use of the word boy
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: could be racist and needed to be examined in the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: context in which it was spoken, and it sent the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: case back to the Eleventh Circuit. Now here's the rub
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: on the third trying of the fourteen year old case.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: The Eleventh US Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed, and throughout
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: all prior rulings on the case, my point is contexted,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: meaning matters. Okay, boy is a white racist word. Joe
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Biden knows this, That's why he corrected himself. But I'm
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: gonna tell you what I found egregious the fact that
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden got LL's name wrong to begin with.
• 3:23
