10 Racist Attacks On Tim Scott From So-Called Progressives
< < Go Back
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott delivered the Republican response to President Joe Biden’s first joint address to Congress Wednesday, offering a firm rebuke to the left’s vilification of the United States as an irredeemably racist empire built for the purpose to oppress.
Leftist online keyboard warriors, however, were less than enthusiastic that a black senator dissented from their claim that all black people and minorities are oppressed by a Republican Party supposedly infected with white supremacy.
The words “Uncle Tim” began trending on Twitter, tying Scott to the pre-Civil War slave character “Uncle Tom” in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1850s abolition book “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” “Uncle Tom” is used as a slur against black people. Yet the racially offensive trend was amplified by Twitter in its trending topics for hours following the speech.
