'Uncle Tim' slur against Tim Scott trends on Twitter after his Biden rebuttal
Fox News ^ | 4/29/21 | By David Rutz

Critics erupt on social media site for allowing 'racist attack from the left' to trend

----

"Uncle Tim" trended on Twitter Wednesday night as left-wing users flooded the site with the racial slur on Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C, following his rebuttal to President Biden's address to Congress.

Scott, who is Black, declared the United States is not a racist country while noting he had encountered racism in his life. Some of it, he said, came from the left in the form of being called an "Uncle Tom," a derogatory phrase for Blacks who are viewed as too deferential to Whites.

His rhetoric infuriated some progressives, and Twitter placed "Uncle Tim" on its trending topics as more tweets relayed the insulting, racially charged play on his name. Among them was former MSNBC host Touré Neblett.

For all of the White liberal lips on the black azz, they can still call a black man a n*gger if he/she goes against the DNC slave masters. It’s such a perverted relationship.

You only come to realize Uncle Tom as the ‘hero’, after you’ve read the book, which probably 98-percent of people can’t claim that status. So when idiots throw the term around, as a negative insult....you can automatically judge the guy as having never read the book.

McCarthy and Lindsey Graham raced to the Cameras to call Tim Scott the Next US President.

Shades of Michael Steele.

Tim Scott called Trump Racist for arresting rioters as they burned DC in 2020.

Juxtapose that with Scott’s initial reaction to Jan 6th.

Notice all these roads (Lindsey, Haley, Scott) lead to SC.

If Scott was a threat to Deep State, he wouldn’t have been allowed to speak.

That is increasingly obvious to anyone who has Jesus in their heart.

America is not fundamentally racist but the black community is.
