“Hear me clearly,” Scott said. “America is not a racist country.”
With those nine words, Scott undermined everything that motivates today’s organized left, and to prove Scott wrong, to prove America is indeed a racist country, Democrats hurled the worst kind of racism directly at Scott.
Instead of addressing the substance of his argument, Democrats took direct aim at his skin color. For hours, “Uncle Tim” — a play on the slur “Uncle Tom” — was allowed to trend on Twitter, and the only reason it trended at all was Democrats, including countless members of the Blue Checkmark Mafia, who ensured it trended.
Cable news anchors smeared him for throwing “white Republicans” a lifeline, which is just a dog whistle screaming “Uncle Tom.”
The disease of racism has never left the Democrat party. It’s still there and as toxic as ever. Scott accurately describes it as “liberal oppression.” Think about this, because I’m sure Scott has: it is modern-day Democrats who:
- encourage riots in predominantly black neighborhoods.
- believe white people should be allowed to smoke the brand of cigarettes they enjoy while black people should not.
- oppose school choice in favor of herding inner-city children into failing government-run schools.
- allow something as blatantly racist as “Uncle Tim” to trend on Twitter.
- “disappear” documentaries about esteemed black Americans because that particular black American dares hold beliefs Democrats will not allow blacks to hold.
- encourage black youth to give up on their dreams with racialist propaganda about how it’s impossible for blacks to succeed in America.
- call for the kind of boycotts that rob a predominantly black city like Atlanta of $100 million in business revenue.
- whose idea of criminal justice reform is to release violent criminals who prey disproportionately on black Americans.
- are desperate to flood the country with the illegal labor that takes starter jobs away from the inner-city kids who need them most and undermine the wages of the black working class.
And most damning of all…
“I get called ‘Uncle Tom’ and the N-word, by progressives, by liberals!” Scott said in his Wednesday night speech, and within minutes Democrats were attacking him as “Uncle Tim,” Twitter was promoting it, and today no one has paid any kind of social or professional price for these overt acts of racism.
