Let’s play a game. I will post a number of actual quotes and I’d like you to indicate to me whether they are racist or not. I am not going to tell you who said them.
About Tim Scott:
“Lucky for McConnell, he has his own tap dancer to try and re-orient the view of America for him.”
Racist or not?
“But please, senator, say more about how un-racist the country is while you trot out that tired line about going from cotton to Congress to clown. Perhaps this was merely Sen. Scott’s audition to be Sam Jackson’s understudy in the film ‘Django.’”
Racist or not?
“I had hoped that Scott might show some common sense, but it seems clear he is little more than an oreo with no real principles.”
Racist or not?
“After the speech an amazing thing happened, every black Republican Senator got together to let the American people know the Republican Party isn’t racist. And then Tim promptly returned to the sensory deprivation egg he calls home.”
Racist or not?
“Now, Tim Scott, he does not seem to understand — and a lot of them don’t seem to understand — the difference between a racist country and systemic racism. They don’t seem to get the difference.”
Because how could a black man form South Carolina know racism?
Racist or not?
“I want to play a clip from Senator Tim Scott and his completely asinine remarks”
Racist or not?
“Well you can almost see the strings being pulled behind Senator Scott.”
Racist or not?
Twitter trend : “Uncle Tim”
Racist or not?
“And sure, Tim Scott has spoken out about his encounters with law enforcement and he co-sponsored the anti-lynching bill in the Senate, but there are two sides to every token.”
“Token.” Racist or not?
“Let’s be clear: Tim Scott does not represent any constituency other than the small number of sleepy, slow-witted sufferers of Stockholm Syndrome who get elevated to prominence for repeating a false narrative about this country that makes conservative white people feel comfortable.”
Racist or not?
“I could go into great detail refuting each of his asinine points, but he did that for me. Lesson I learned, don’t argue with people Harriet Tubman would have left behind.”
Racist or not?
Not about Sen. Tim Scott
“i hate white people so much its not even funny.”
Racist or not?
“[Y]es I think white people need to be eradicate yes I will go feral over mediocre white men we exist.”
Racist or not?
….why do white people think everything is about them??”
Racist or not?
“I mean, I watched the Republican convention and seeing the slue of black speakers that they had it really did look like a modern day minstrel show to me”
Racist or not?
If you need to know the skin color of the authors of these quotes you’ve already lost. If you need to have “context” you’ve already lost.
These remarks are either racist or they are not racist. Skin color does not confer immunity to racist words and actions and no one should be able to hide behind color. Stripping away the identity of the authors makes for a much more interesting discussion about racist language.
What say you?
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Ever notice that ever since Cindy Sheehan, the Left has been desperately trying to find some way to confer immunity from criticism of their side’s dumb remarks?
Well, they finally succeeded.
It was Greta Thunberg who found their answer…..
They simply declare themselves to be “not racist,” then say any racist thing they please and HOW DARE YOU if you disagree.
It’s easy. By the rules set forth by the left, as laid out during the Obama disaster, if you are criticizing a black person’s positions, you ae racist. Of course, they get to apply the leftist exemption, which applies not only to racism, but to violence, corruption and even the law.
The left is racist central. They are a Costco for racism, providing it in bulk.
Personal attacks are the last defense of losers
And when you get from Caesar to Nero, Washington to Biden, things are gonna burn.
