More Racism from the Left

[Hammster]

Well what he LITERALLY said was nonsense. So folks have to kind of figure it out

What did he LITERALLY say?

 

[BigDaddy4]

Nice try, but considering I was responding to a post where you specifically named Trump, you know who I was referring to.

Then yes, even the current and ex-presidents are random people on Twitter to me. What of it?

 

[civilwarbuff]

How is a Black person being called an Uncle Tom by other Black people racist?

So blacks can't be racist?

 

[rambot]

What did he LITERALLY say?

I assume....

Scott, who is Black, declared the United States is not a racist country

Uh...well...that.

 

[rambot]

So blacks can't be racist?

Can't answer the question?

So he didn’t say that there was no racism in this country.

Thanks.

A country can't be racist. Tim Scott is correct, America isn't a racist country. It is also not a happy, sad or angry country. Countries don't have feelings.

No. He suggested a country can be racist. It cannot. Its people can be racist. It's government could be racist. It's institutions could be racist. It's culture could be racist.

But not the country. Hence my earlier descriptor.

I was responding to someone who said that he said that there was no racism in America. He never said those words. So I don’t know what you are going on about.

'Uncle Tim' slur against Tim Scott trends on Twitter after his Biden rebuttal

'Uncle Tim' slur against Tim Scott trends on Twitter after his Biden rebuttal

"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.

Cmments/thoughts?

He said an unpopular truth....

Was immediately proved right.

Then that seems to be a straw man since nobody has claimed the entire country is racist as a whole.

Nobody claimed black lives don't matter.

No. He suggested a country can be racist. It cannot. Its people can be racist. It's government could be racist. It's institutions could be racist. It's culture could be racist.

What is a country apart from those things?

Are you talking about the literal soil beneath our feet?

It's at least all those things. My point was that it was imprecise speech and so arguing one way or another of what he was actually saying doest have much weight to me.

It wasn’t imprecise if you listened in context. But hey, if that’s the worst criticism, I’m good with it.

Your whole argument revolves around ignoring context. You are arguing about literal statements while ignoring the context, but at the same time saying there is a context. It's a poor attempt at playing word games here.

Back atcha......

Maybe the right should boycott Twitter?

 

[Larniavc]

No. American as a country isn’t racist. There’s no systemic racism. However, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t individuals who are racist.

How exactly do you arrive at that conclusion?

Pulling one sentence out and making a big issue is ignoring context. That’s the opposite of what I’ve done. It’s completely disingenuous to say that I’m the one playing games.
