Sen. Tim Scott’s Speech Reveals Republicans Weakness.
Thy Black Man ^ | May 1, 2021 | Raynard Jackson

Why am I seemingly the only one that is pissed off at the lack of preparation for the aftermath of Sen. Tim Scott’s rebuttal to President Biden’s speech before a joint session of Congress this week?

Where was the RNC, the Senatorial Committee, the House Campaign Committee, and outside conservative groups?

Where were all the supposed Black conservatives who like running their mouths on all the talking heads TV and radio shows?

I was disgusted and thoroughly embarrassed by the lack of a coordinated media strategy to support Sen. Scott.  Scott is the junior senator from South Carolina who was asked by the party to give the rebuttal to Biden’s speech earlier this week and by most accounts, hit it out of the ballpark!

The most memorable part of his speech was: “…Hear me clearly:  America is not a racist country.  It’s backwards to fight discrimination with different types of discrimination.  And it’s wrong to try to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present.”

The Democrats have not changed their racist playbook since the 1960s.  No one in our party thought to set up a communications war room to insulate Sen. Scott from the inevitable attacks that were sure to come. This inevitable attack on Sen. Scott was so obvious that even Stevie Wonder saw it coming!

This is what happens when you don’t see and understand the value of diversity.  Yes, you need Blacks who understand our community, understand politics, and understand strategic communications.  And yes, they MUST be “credible” Blacks; not the buffoonish Blacks conservatives seem drawn to.

There should have been an inside/outside strategy to push back on the racist attacks Scott was subjected to.

Dhimmicraps view people like Tim Scott, Ben Carson, Clarence Thomas, and the like as stolen property. Never let them say they don’t.

You're not. We all are. But by now we know that this is what Republicans do. And that's why we lose.

“…Hear me clearly: America is not a racist country. It’s backwards to fight discrimination with different types of discrimination. And it’s wrong to try to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present.”

But there is systemic, institutional racism in America. It's called the Democrat Party.

The Democrats have not changed their racist playbook since the 1960s.

CORRECTION: The Democrats have not changed their racist playbook since the 1820s. The only thing that has changed is the color of the hoods.

I saw several important black people on Fox, backing up Scott. Whites, too.
