U.S. Senator Tim Scott, R-SC, is running for president of the United States. “Love, unconditional love, binds hearts together,” he declared Monday, May 22.
While Democrats not surprisingly oppose Scott on most issues, they refuse to acknowledge that his announcement’s warm reception among Republicans shows that Black Americans have overcome or, at least, are overcoming.
Citing “systemic racism,” Joy Behar of “The View” said that Scott “doesn’t get it. Neither does Clarence [Thomas], and that’s why they’re Republicans.”
Scott was no child of privilege. His single, working-class mother reared him and his brother in modest North Charleston. After floundering in high school, a local Chick-fil-A manager mentored him. Scott focused and — after college — flourished in insurance.
After serving on Charleston’s County Council and in the state legislature, Scott ran for Congress in 2010. If the White supremacists — whom leftists see everywhere — wished to oppress Scott, this was their chance. Instead, Scott won 68% in a GOP primary runoff versus 32% for Paul Thurmond, the White son of the late Dixiecrat governor and U.S. senator Strom Thurmond.
Then-governor Nikki Haley, a Republican, appointed Scott to the U.S. Senate seat that Jim DeMint vacated to run the Heritage Foundation. This made Scott the first Black southern senator since 1881, when former slave Blanche Kelso Bruce R-MI, departed.

In stunning contrast, the “pro-Black” Democrat Party had 140 years to appoint or elect a Black Southern senator. Alas, they could not be bothered. They did not accomplish this until Georgia’s Raphael Warnock won a January 2021 runoff — eight years after Scott became senator.
Democrats want Blacks to shut up and vote Democrat. They do not want Blacks to think for themselves and see that Democrats trap Black kids in schools that don’t teach, even as top Democrats hypocritically enroll their own children in private classrooms.
Democrat policies impoverish Blacks and lionize criminals who prey upon law-abiding Blacks.
MSNBC’s former host Tiffany Cross called Scott a “token,” a “tap dancer,” and someone whom “Harriet Tubman would have left behind.”
Revolting.
The Los Angeles Times called veteran broadcaster and GOP presidential contender Larry Elder “the Black face of White supremacy.”
Democrats want Blacks to shut up and vote Democrat. They do not want Blacks to think for themselves and see that Democrats trap Black kids in schools that don’t teach, even as top Democrats hypocritically enroll their own children in private classrooms.
The good news is that, slowly but surely, Black voters are seeing through the Democrats’ race-mongering, shattered promises and bald-faced lies.

In 2020, President Donald Trump won 12% of Black voters (versus 8% in 2016’s exit polls), specifically, 19% of Black men and 9% of Black women (up from 13% and 4%, respectively, in 2016).
Amazing: One in five Black men voted to re-elect Trump.
So, rather than change their evil ways, Democrats demonize Scott to put open-minded Blacks back in their place.
