• Karine Jean-Pierre called 'Buckwheat' by radio host who insists he was

    Buckwheat was a Black child character in the “Little Rascals” short films and “Our Gang” series in the 1930s and is widely considered to be a
    racial stereotype.

    The owner of a conservative radio station in Tennessee is catching heat
    for referring to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as “Buckwheat,” the Advocate reports.

    Buckwheat was a Black child character in the “Little Rascals” short films and “Our Gang” series from the 1930s and is considered a racial
    stereotype. Eddie Murphy repeatedly satirized the character on “Saturday Night Live.”

    During a recent segment on WKOM’s “3 Dudes with a View” program, host Delk
    Kennedy compared Jean-Pierre to Buckwheat during a discussion about “gender-affirming care” for minors.

    “President Biden has come — both he and Buckwheat Jean-Pierre have come
    out and in favor of a national law, allowing minors without the consent
    of their parents to have gender changing procedures,” Kennedy stated to co-hosts Jim York and Clayton Harrison on the radio broadcast, according
    to the Advocate.

    Biden, in fact, signed an executive order in June 2022 promising to fight
    for health equality and access for the LGBTQI+ community while expanding
    access to gender-affirming care for minors.
