What a twit.
I’m not wasting the effort to click on this crap.
As a Conservative, who is Black I feel more at home in room full of Tea Party members than a room full of Marxist Leftists, enough said.
I know the NYT is going to fold and go completely out of business soon, but it's taking so long...
This is racist, bigoted, malicious, mendacious, and foul. They dare go here and we should spit in their damn eye for it.
Even if the Republicans managed to distance themselves from the thinly veiled racism of the Tea Party adherents who have moved the party rightward...Assumes as fact something that's been wholly created by the DNC and their slobbering media lapdogs.
He will be the first black senator since 1979? Wasn’t obama in the senate in 2006? Or is he not black enough. The racist democrats are not proud of his darkness.
Mr. Scott is a rational, intelligent man who is able to analyse rather than apply popular ideaolgical formulations regardless of how emotionally satisfying they may be.
More embarrassing, mindless nonsense from the left. Tim Scott is part of the Tea Party and is what got him elected over more establishment picks - if the Tea Party was racist then why did they choose him over white candidates? Are those such as Herman Cain, Vernon Parker, Allen West, etc. also promoting "thinly veiled racism"?
Does this author know that blacks voted in a majority for Calvin Coolidge in 1924? Calvin Coolidge was a fiscal Conservative who also broke up the Boston Police Strike yet garnered the endorsement of plenty of black papers. If blacks used to vote for a strong fiscal Conservative like Coolidge how is Tim Scott betraying blacks?
. . . And yet, his politics are apparently pretty closely in line with the preferences of most South Carolinians. Because he won the election. Isn't it ray-siss to suggest he should be representing his skin color, rather than his constituents?
Liberals don't have principles. They don't even understand the idea. They have talking points. Logical consistency with their previous sentence doesn't occur to them—they just ring some designated bells in random order. If you try to read what a liberal has written, sometimes the stupid is just too big to get your mind around.
Ironically only a mentally inferior person could think that spending more than you take in is a recipe for economic success.
Just another article that is targeting the peasant and slave class of the democrat party. It has no basis in reality, it is the propaganda of evil.
It’s amazing the volume of vitriol that can be squeezed from a tiny brain.
Just my personal observations- if you want to see stepin’ fetchit, Uncle Tom, tapdancin’ bowin n scrapin’ blacks, go to the Democrat party. They’re the ones who are used for entertainment purposes. You wanna see tough,strong-willed, independent-minded men and women, take a look at Conservative blacks....
Despite the Civil War, which won freedom for Blacks, it remains the case that any Blacks seeking to leave the Liberal plantation are labeled Uncle Toms and worse.
Get these “tokens” together and have each of them make a TV ad ripping the NYT and their fellow travelers and telling America what they believe. Run those ads occasionally during various time slots over the next few years. It would be a great investment.
Toss in a few up and coming blacks and let them have their say, too. I would donate to something like that. Even if the NYT hadn’t run this stupid article we should do this.
We (that is, our so-called leaders) have got to do long term planning. The commies are starting their second century of their relentless push. We seem to plan about three weeks ahead, but mostly it seems like we don’t plan at all. We just react and usually poorly.
uh...no we should not take positions that advance "black" interests.
Our position(s) should advance an inclusive American best interest.
This no talent a**clown hack is just engaging in projection. I believe it was Dems that came up with the idea of gerrymandering “Majority Minority” districts to deliberately increase the proportion of minorities in the House of Representatives.
If that’s not blatant tokenism, I don’t know what it is.
Haley won a state-wide election in South Carolina ... where the gerrymandering was done under the auspices of Kind Charles II of England. Scott will in all likelihood win election state-wide as well.
GOP minority elected officials have proven themselves more intelligent and capable than their Democrat counterparts - because they are elected based on things like merit and competence, not under a deck that is deliberately stacked in their favor. Cynthia McKinney and Shelia Jackson Lee are products of just such a deck-stacking system.
And it begins. Tim Scott has a giant bulls-eye on his back; he’s the highest profile black conservative politician in the country now. He better get ready.
