Bloomberg writer Francis Wilkinson recently wrote a piece claiming that Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina--an African American--only became a senator because Republicans "lowered the bar" for his appointment. He also claimed that Scotts candidacy serves as a "shield" for racist Tea Party members to hide behind.
In an article that is more invective than analysis, Wilkinson essentially called Senator Scott a do-nothing senator. He said Scott acted like a "shield" for racist, Confederate flag-waving Tea Party members who need someone to replace Herman Cain as the favorite candidate behind whom they can hide their racism.
Wilkinson made these assessments because Scott didn't get a Tea Party challenger even as so many other incumbents across the country did.
But the writer answered his own question in his own piece as to why Scott may not have faced a Tea Party challenger. "Scott placed himself so far to the right that there was no space for a Tea Party challenge on ideological grounds," Wilkinson wrote.
The columnist further reported that Scott "has an 'F' on the NAACP legislative scorecard" and a high score on the "right-wing Heritage Action scorecard--94 out of a possible 100."

When it comes to their opinion of blacks who slip the liberal plantation leftists are the definition of the racists they complain about.
If anyone can name one truly liberal black (not Harold Ford, he doesn't qualify--too middle of the road) who has any other concern than race...I'll eat my hat.
With all the ugly truths coming out in the IRS ‘Republican vote suppression’ scandal, NSA overreach, EPA corruption, negligent homocides by the VA, and Benghazi, it is not fantasy to believe that team Barry outright STOLE the 2012 election.
I have a theory:
Democrats are terrified of black conservatives and republicans.
In my book it means 'F' as in Fantastic.
The situation is, that the GOP does not ethnically define everyone.
That is in fact, the major difference between the viewpoint of white America, and the rest of the world.
Whites in America have given up racial definition for the most part. Even to a harmful extent. But they have.
Democrats define everyone and everything, all the time. So do Asians. Africans. South Americans.
Everyone but whites.
Whites are for some reason considered to be different.
That it in my view one of the main differences between the two parties.
I feel the Bloomberg writer is completely wrong on this.
I think Susan is just a useful bureaucrat.
And a committed Marxist.
I'm not a black man, but as a man, I'm sorely pissed and ashamed of the white fag bastard that issued this garbage.
I'd like to see Senator Scott come face to face with this pansy and ask him to repeat his charges directly to his face.
I thought so.;-) No prob.
Articles that explain how modern liberals suffer from a mental disorder.
Maybe the Democrat’s will classify them as 3/5th of a person.
Full personship to be restored upon return to the plantation.
[ Maybe the Democrats will classify them as 3/5th of a person. ]
The ironic thing is that if the south did count black slaves as 1:1 for matters of distributing representatives the House they would have steamrolled over the North and Slavery would have been legalized.
I really loathe how the Libs misinterpret how the 3/5 compromise was pro-slavery when it was actually the closest position to anti-slavery the north could have taken at the time.
Fredrick Douglas has written about the 3/5th thing and his say in the matter is very enlightening.
