Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina made an unusual splash with his response to Joe Biden's quasi state-of-the-union address, declaring -- with the weight of his life experience in the real Jim Crow era in comparison to today -- that America "is not a racist country."
It was warm, engaging, and strongly argued, prompting pundits to declare him a rising Republican star -- from South Carolina no less, the state whose black voters vaulted the then-faltering Joe Biden into the Democrat nomination spot. South Carolina, eh?
Both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were absolutely forced to respond to that, which is unusual for a supposed president and vice president to have to do in the wake of a state of the union address, as Wall Street Journal columnist William McGurn notes here. Ordinarily, people pay attention to the president's speech, not the rebuttal. But Scott's rebuttal is what got the attention.
The left was much viler though, spewing out a slew of racist epithets against Scott for his "heresy." When Scott said America wasn't racist, they sought to prove him wrong -- by hurling every racist epithet they could think of at him, as if to prove him wrong by showing them their own stripes. "Uncle Tim," "Boy," and pictures of Al Jolson in blackface were just some of the disgusting things I saw on Twitter, all of them posted by leftists. I wrote about that here.
In the piece, I noted that white leftists had some nerve claiming to speak for black people, as they did. Which is where Lamar County, Texas's Democrat party leader, Gary O'Connor, comes in. O'Connor, who based on his picture, appears white, put up a post on Facebook calling Scott "an oreo" of all things.

According to the Daily Mail:
It went down very badly with black voters as it rightly should. Oh, hell, it goes down badly with anyone of any color who isn’t insane. It’s an insult that tells black people that anything good that they do for themselves makes them white-person wannabes, so let’s all slide into the mud of underclass values and march in lockstep for Democrats. If you don’t, “you ain’t black,” as another Democrat, Joe Biden, once said.
The liberal blacks and white are the oppressors. They oppress anyone that doesn’t think like them. It’s pure evil.
we are very confused. we hate tim scott (LOUSY RINO UNIPARTY CORPORATIST OPEN BORDER SCUMBAG!) more than we hate the guy that called tim scott an oreo.
and hate is linear, so our hate will be served up on a first come, first served basis.
the guy that called tim scott an oreo hates the same guy we hate. that makes us friends.
that’s the way hate works when you let hate rule your life.
Thomas Sowell, “I have noticed, in many countries around the world people of different races can get along together, sometimes even live as neighbors decades, even generations, and yet when the right DEMAGOGUE comes along he can turn them against each other, and be at each other’s throat.”
(aka BLM, ANTIFA, Rev. Al, Mad Max, Jessee, Crump, Democrat party machine, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, NPR, WP, NYT, Professors, movies, and the whole race baiting industry. They all make sure to keep the hate alive because of the value they each gain from it.)
Sowell, “ Intellectuals have taught people to hate those who are better off than themselves.” Just one of the triggers they so deftly use.
