But her emails

The mocking phrase used to water down and oversimplify the general point being made in an attempt to dismiss the severity of Hillary Clinton's preferential treatment at the hands of the FBI, back in 2015 when she was subpoenaed by Congress to turn over government emails that she illegally hosted on a private server that led to concerns over national security.

Clinton destroyed all devices containing any information related to the emails and wiped all of her servers in a blatant defiance of the subpoena, another illegal act that also went miraculously unprosecuted by the FBI and DOJ.

The point in Trump supporters bringing this up in relation to Trump being pursued on the documents he is accused of illegally possessing, is to compare the hypocritical ignorance of the left and democratic political spectrum with the situation at hand as Trump allegedly declassified the documents as sitting President while Hillary had not once ever stepped into the Oval Office.

The phrase "but her emails" serves to mock Trump supporters over Hillary taking advantage of the two-tiered justice system that ignores blatant democrat illegality and fabricates republican illegality.

Person 1: "Trump had documents at his Mar-A-Lago residence! That's illegal!"
Person 2: "That's not illegal because he declassified them. But even if it were, what about Hillary's emails?"
Person 1: "bUt HeR eMaIlS"
Person 2: "That's not an argument. If you're going to go after Trump, you need to address what Hillary did or we're not taking you seriously."

but me no buts

Don't argue with me. The first 'but' is a verb while the last one is a noun. I have never seen 'but' used as a verb except in this construction.

There are ifs and buts over what I have just said, but but me no buts.

but he's black

A phrase that makes a regular achievement seem better just because that person is African American.

You: Hey dude, John has a 2.7 GPA.
Friend: Okay, that's not really that good.
You: But he's black.
Friend: 2.7? That must be some type of record. He should get into Yale.

But Namjoon

But Namjoon is a tactic used by kpop fans whenever their favorite kpop group does something problematic. So to take the attention away from their favorite they bring up old problematic things that Kim Namjoon has done and apologized for. HOWEVER, in the recent comeback trailer for BTS’ MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA, Namjoon himself referred to this phrase and reclaimed the “But Namjoon” tag

1. A: Omg idol X did something nasty he should be called out!
B: But Namjoon did that too...
2. Namjoon (MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA comeback trailer lyrics): The three syllables of my name and the word “but” that should come before any of those.
