Black Republican senator Tim Scott of South Carolina is bitching about being a dummy to the racist right! |
There's two members of the U.S. Senate who are African American. Democratic senator Cory Booker of New Jersey and Republican senator Tim Scott of South Carolina.
This is the first in a long history of a senate where most of its members are WHITE males who are over 55 years old.
With the two African American members, there are three Hispanic members of the U.S. Senate.
Stallmigos Marco Rubio of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas are the Republicans and Senator Bob Menendez the Democrat from New Jersey.
The NAACP is happy that progress is happening in the Senate but are really disappointed in the comments of one member who believes the oldest civil rights organization is a "liberal entitlement".
Scott, being the appointed member of the senate is running for reelection. He is fulfilling the term vacated by Jim DeMint a far right politico who quit the senate to become the president of the Heritage Foundation.
Scott is the shield to the racist right's ongoing criticisms of being a bunch of extremists. They can say, "We'z got our Black guy in the party!"
But since the Democrats have one member elected as President of the United States and one recently elected to serve out the remainder of a fallen senator's term, it seems to be a good chance the Democrats are ahead of the curve.
Republicans love to claim Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as their own. They can't get over the fact that King supported equal rights for all Americans. He wanted social justice.
There's a controversy that's brewing between the NAACP and Scott. It started when one of the regional leaders called the senator a "ventriloquist dummy" for the racist right.
Scott believes such attacks distract from solutions that could help Americans.
“What we should be preaching … is the fact that in this country, conservatives, free market capitalism, produces greater success than the government can ever do,” he said.
Scott’s appearance came two days after the Rev. William Barber II, in a speech made at the Zion Baptist Church in Columbia, S.C., said Scott is a pawn of “the extreme right wing down here (in South Carolina)” which “finds a black guy to be senator and claims he’s the first black senator since Reconstruction and then he goes to Washington D.C. and articulates the agenda of the Tea Party,” The State newspaper reported.
Barber, who made the remarks as he addressed social issues including health care and voting, also criticized blacks who don’t follow King’s spirit, the newspaper reported.
Scott believes its "philosophical bigtory" of the NAACP.
Shame though, Scott believes that the NAACP is against America.
Although I give him respect for being the one ounce of color in the party of mostly White guys, he's a total ass kisser. He's entitled to be an ass kisser. We don't care!
Scott and the Stallmigos are the reasons to why the Republican Party is the party of idiots! It's a party of racist, sexist, Islamophobic, homophobic, condescending jackasses.
