Not a day goes by that we need to worry that our President will fail us when it comes to saying something outrageous or plain stupid. However, aside from the "they'll put y'all back in chains" comment and referring to former President Barack Obama as clean and intelligent, implying that this is unusual for Black people, Biden has been fairly good at not saying racist crap.
Until Wednesday.
The President mumbled to a group of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union member in Lanham, Maryland. It isn't known whether he told a story of how he wired his own house and believes more minorities need to not be scared of electricity, but he did manage to screw up.
He made reference to former wide receiver on the Johns Hopkins University football team and current Democratic Gov. Wes Moore, 44, “He’s the real deal, and the boy looked like he could still play,” the president said. “He got some guns on him.”
The word 'boy' is listed on Merriam-Webster's online dictionary in part as "dated, offensive; a male servant or an enslaved man." The add that the word is used in a "disparaging" way "to address a man of color and especially a Black man."

Now we all know that the words Biden speaks usually are words he is told to say, but when he goes off Teleprompter, this is what we get.
If a Republican or former President Trump used that word, the left would call for their impeachment and everyone knows it. But when you have the mainstream media on your side covering for you, or conveniently not reporting what they should, you get an old guy who is obviously in late cognitive decline but is not being pushed to be tested.
