Noticeably absent from the speaker line-up at the Let Freedom Ring event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington today: the nation’s only black Senator, Tim Scott.
Scott, a Republican Representative appointed by S.C. Governor Nikki Haley earlier this year to fill former Sen. Jim DeMint’s seat in the U.S. Senate after he retired, was not invited to participate in the historic event, a spokesperson for the Senator confirmed to Red Alert Politics in an email.
African-American leaders who did receive an invitation to speak at included Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) – who participated in the original March – Martin Luther King III, MSNBC host Al Sharpton and movie stars Jamie Foxx, Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker.
Well, does he qualify?
I mean, is he black-black, or is he kind of light-black?
Is he down for the struggle?
Otherwise he is not capital-B, Black.
Or, so I’m told by Obama’s closest black friends who overlook that Obama does not meet any of the requirements.
Liberal “logic”...
“rape-rape” = rape
“black-white” = black

They don’t like the fact that Scott is a CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE.
How dare he speak out for the sanctity of life, natural marriage, the Constitution and working for a living?!?
How's that for "equality"?
George Wallace would be so proud!
They must be racist.
They are not about civil rights anymore, far from it. They're simply a cudgel to beat the opponents of the democrat party with.
Its all purely political and it reeks of hypocrisy.

On his show today, Rush asked the question ...what would happen if Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas showed up at the MLK speechifying today? He was of the opinion that not only would Thomas be ‘booed’, he’d be kicked out.
He’s a Republican black....the worst disease of all to those darn racists.
Well, I’ll be - I never thought about it.
Apparently, we only have one black senator ?

Maybe they are insecure and thought “he’s too good for us. We could never get a guy like that”
No, no you couldn’t.
Truth not allowed for MLK day.
true choice and racial cohesion hinges on the second amendment and not some demon rat pipe dream government promise.
I think it is just as bad for a racist member to force little children to hold hand by race as well as to force them inter racially .
Remember Zimmerman was white or white-latino. Both fit the agenda of the left and truth has nothing to do with it.
I’m sure all the Reconstruction era Black Republicans were not mentioned either. I wonder why?/sarc
Don’t you know that a “black” Republican isn’t really black?
He does not fit the black race intifada all the fools and misfits want to anger and hate on. Demon rats love and strive on hate and force themselves on others. Intifada communist revolt program must go on. Illegal immigration is also there.
