Here's a shocker: MSNBC's old racist uncle called the president "your boy" to RevAl while laughing about him getting "whipped" and claims there's nothing racist about it. As if his public racism, as above, and here http://buchanan.org/blog/pjb-a-brief-for-whitey-969 is irrelevant in discerning the meaning of his comments.
On MSNBC Tuesday night, Pat Buchanan called President Obama "your boy" when speaking to Rev. Al Sharpton, who has been hosting the 6pm hour on the network. He said that Sharpton's "boy" Obama got "whipped" by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
"My what?... My President, Barack Obama? What did you say?" Sharpton retorted in disbelief. Buchanan attempted to cover his tracks by saying he was using boxing terminology, meaning "your boy in the ring," but Sharpton shot back "he's nobody's boy -- he's your president."
