Friends out of convenience because he allows their racism to continue instead of making the republican party fake truth.Tim Scott has a lot of friends on this thread...
No, racist, it's not that simple.I don't understand why you think saying that means anything.Now watch the premise of the title play out in the responses that are going to come from racists who will defend Tim Scott.
It means nothing, because anyone that disagrees with IM2 IM2 will call a racist. Then he’ll say you see I told you. He’s an idiot.
What did I say that was racist?
Are you saying that a black man is only allowed to hold certain opinions and that he is incapable of forming his own thoughts without them being dictated to him? IOW, I don't see you complaining that white people who speak out against white privilege or racism are race traitors and such. Apparently they are allowed to form their own opinions but black men are not?Now watch the premise of the title play out in the responses that are going to come from racists who will defend Tim Scott.
How not to talk about American racism: Tim Scott lures Democrats into a trap
Tim Scott is the only black Republican in the U.S. Senate. In that role, like other Black conservatives, Scott is a professional "best black friend" and human shield against accusations of racism. In so many ways, Scott and other Black conservatives fulfill many white racists' American Dream of compliant, sycophantic, loyal and submissive Black people.
In a wide-ranging rebuttal to Biden's discussion of race and racism, Scott offered a series of personal anecdotes:
The climax of Scott's rebuttal to Biden's speech to Congress came with this proclamation: "Hear me clearly: America is not a racist country. It's backwards to fight discrimination with different discrimination. And it's wrong to try to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present."Nowhere do we need common ground more desperately than in our discussions of race. I have experienced the pain of discrimination. I know what it feels like to be pulled over for no reason. To be followed around a store while I'm shopping. I remember, every morning, at the kitchen table, my grandfather would have the newspaper in his hands. Later, I realized he had never learned to read it. He just wanted to set the right example. I've also experienced a different kind of intolerance.
I get called "Uncle Tom" and the N-word — by 'progressives'! By liberals! Just last week, a national newspaper suggested my family's poverty was actually privilege because a relative owned land generations before my time. Believe me, I know our healing is not finished.
Scott's real goal in his rebuttal to Biden's speech was not to tell the truth about racism and white supremacy, but instead to repeat Republican talking points about how Democrats and liberals are the "real racists" in America. Scott says such a thing with deep commitment and a straight face, even as today's Republican Party is trying to impose a new version of Jim Crow American apartheid on Black and brown people across the country.
Scott's speech may have been chock full of GOP talking points, but there was an old favorite that wasn't explicitly deployed but was obviously implied. In the aftermath of the Trump presidency, the coronavirus pandemic, and the racial justice protests that exploded across the country after the murder of George Floyd, America embarked on a fragile but badly needed racial reckoning. White conservatives needed someone to tell them that they weren't racists resisting a changing world, but rather the progress on racial equality was something that was being inflicted on them. The GOP needed a Black friend. By laundering and displaying the party's tired talking points, Sen. Scott served as just that. His speech gave white conservatives cover. After all, we all know that it's impossible to be racist if you happen to have a Black friend.
Just read the first page of your thread. You were exactly right. The racists are coming out of the woodwork to defend Diamond and Silk version 2.0. Nobody expects him to change anyone's mind, but he is useful to keep the crazies stirred up.That fool is a racist idiot. But like I said in the OP.Meaning what exactly?..it's people like you that's the reason blacks are where they are
Now watch the premise of the title play out in the responses that are going to come from racists who will defend Tim Scott.
Tim Scott is not thinking for himself.I prefer "Tim Scott - one of the few remaining blacks in America that's not brainwashed and can think for himself"
Tim Scott has more integrity and honesty in his little toe than your average Democrat has all over.
No, that's what republicans do.Are you saying that a black man is only allowed to hold certain opinions and that he is incapable of forming his own thoughts without them being dictated to him? IOW, I don't see you complaining that white people who speak out against white privilege or racism are race traitors and such. Apparently they are allowed to form their own opinions but black men are not?Now watch the premise of the title play out in the responses that are going to come from racists who will defend Tim Scott.

Impeding what?
YOUR agenda?
Oddly, he has that right...
and might be part of the reason he was elected.
He's not that articulate. But you defend him because he allows you to say, "lookee thar, Tim Scott says we aren't racist and he's black so we aren't racists because Tim Scott speaks for all black people."Mush Mouth is being told what to think and especially what to say by the likes of Turtle McConnell.

That's why millions of white people voted for Barry Oboingo....Guess they were racist too, huh?He's not that articulate.

I meant appeasing because what Scott did was appease the white racist base such as you and allows those like you to continue on with your agenda of white supremacy.

Since less than 40 percent of the whites in America voted for Obama each time....That's why millions of white people voted for Barry Oboingo....Guess they were racist too, huh?He's not that articulate.
