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

Video
"Uncle Tim" trended on TwitterWednesday 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.
Conservatives erupted as it became clear Twitter was allowing a racially charged attack to appear on its "trending" section.

"Twitter is choosing to trend a racist attack from the left on Sen. Tim Scott," The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway tweeted. "Apparently they want him to suffer for the crime of upstaging Biden via a highly effective speech."

Twitter double standards are racist. Them allowing progressive left democrats to make racial insults against Senator Scott is typical of mainstream media bias. The play on Uncle Tom as uncle Tim is a racist message.

 

The racism on the left it seems knows no bounds. They despised seeing an African man say that America as a nation is not a racist country despite the personal individual discrimination he faced. The left despised talk of moving on from original sin to redemption.

 

People actually CARE about what Internet Trolls say on Twitter?

I wasn't aware of that.

Actually, regardless of the source, "Uncle Tim" (in that context) is an insult.
I think we all agree on that.

Of course, we can't eliminate the possibility that:

All of these "Twitter Trolls" may have been members of Trump's Dirty Tricks squad orchestrating a "False Flag"

 

It was obviously bat boy and Bigfoot.....

 

They had his speech on Sky's YouTube channel, the guy really cares about his country

 

Guess they proved him wrong...

How could anyone be so dense to say there is no racism in the US? Hell, I am lily white and have experienced it a few times.

 

Please quote where he stated that there is no racism in the US thanks in advance..

 

Here’s a transcript of the senators very fine and awesome speech...













TRANSCRIPT:

Good evening. I’m Senator Tim Scott from the great state of South Carolina. We just heard President Biden’s first address to Congress. Our President seems like a good man. His speech was full of good words. But President Biden promised you a specific kind of leadership.

He promised to unite a nation. To lower the temperature. To govern for all Americans, no matter how we voted. That was the pitch. You just heard it again. But our nation is starving for more than empty platitudes. We need policies and progress that bring us closer together.

But three months in, the actions of the president and his party are pulling us further apart. I won’t waste your time with finger-pointing or partisan bickering. You can get that on T.V. any time you want.

I want to have an honest conversation about common sense and common ground. About this feeling that our nation is sliding off its shared foundation and how we move forward together.

Growing up, I never dreamed I’d be standing here tonight. When I was a kid, my parents divorced. My mother, my brother, and I moved in with my grandparents. Three of us, sharing one bedroom. I was disillusioned and angry, and I nearly failed out of school. But I was blessed.

First, with a praying momma … I was also blessed by a Chick-Fil-A operator, John Moniz. And finally, with a string of opportunities that are only possible here in America. This past year, I’ve watched COVID attack every rung of the ladder that helped me up.

So many families have lost parents and grandparents too early. So many small businesses have gone under. Becoming a Christian transformed my life — but for months, too many churches were shut down. Most of all, I am saddened that millions of kids have lost a year of learning when they could not afford to lose a single day.

Locking vulnerable kids out of the classroom is locking adults out of their future. Our public schools should have reopened months ago. Other countries’ did. Private and religious schools did. Science has shown for months that schools are safe. But too often, powerful grown-ups set science aside. And kids like me were left behind. The clearest case for school choice in our lifetimes…

Last year, under Republican leadership, we passed five bipartisan COVID packages. Congress supported our schools, our hospitals, saved our economy, and funded Operation Warp Speed, delivering vaccines in record time. All five bills got 90 … votes in the Senate. Common sense found common ground.

In February, Republicans told President Biden we wanted to keep working together to finish this fight, but Democrats wanted to go it alone. They spent almost $2 trillion on a partisan bill that the White House bragged was the most liberal bill in American history! Only 1% went to vaccinations. No requirement to re-open schools promptly. COVID brought Congress together five times. This Administration pushed us apart.

Another issue that should unite us is infrastructure. Republicans support everything you think of when you think of “infrastructure.” Roads, bridges, ports, airports, waterways, high-speed broadband — we’re in for all of that. But again, Democrats want a partisan wish list. They won’t even build bridges to build bridges!

Less than 6% of the president’s plan goes to roads and bridges. It’s a liberal wish-list of Big Government waste, plus the biggest job-killing tax hikes in a generation. Experts say, when all is said and done, it would lower wages of the average American worker and shrink our economy.

Tonight we also heard about a so-called “Family Plan.” Even more taxing, even more spending, to put Washington even more in the middle of your life — from the cradle to college. The beauty of the American Dream is that families get to define it for themselves.

We should be expanding opportunities and options for all families — not throwing money at certain issues because Democrats think they know best.

“Infrastructure” spending that shrinks our economy is not common sense. Weakening our southern borders and creating a crisis is not compassionate. The president is abandoning principles he held for decades. Now, he says your tax dollars should fund abortions. He’s laying groundwork to pack the Supreme Court! This is not common ground.

Nowhere do we need common ground more desperately than in our discussions of race. I have experienced the pain of discrimination. I know what it feels like to be pulled over for no reason; to be followed around a store while I’m shopping.

I remember, every morning, at the kitchen table, my grandfather would open the newspaper and read it, I thought. Later, I realized he had never learned to read it. He just wanted to set the right example. I’ve also experienced a different kind of intolerance. I get called “Uncle Tom” and the N-word — by “progressives.” By liberals.

Just last week, a national newspaper suggested my family’s poverty was actually privilege because a relative owned land generations before my time. Believe me, I know first hand our healing is not finished. In 2015, after the shooting of Walter Scott, I wrote a bill to fund body cameras.

Last year, after the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, I built an even bigger police reform proposal. But my Democratic colleagues blocked it! I extended an olive branch. I offered them amendments. But Democrats used the filibuster to block the debate from even happening.

My friends across the aisle seemed to want the issue more than they wanted a solution. But I’m still working. I’m hopeful that this will be different.

When America comes together, we’ve made tremendous progress. But powerful forces want to pull us apart. A hundred years ago, kids in classrooms were taught the color of their skin was their most important characteristic — and if they looked a certain way, they were inferior.

Today, kids are being taught that the color of their skin defines them again — and if they look a certain way, they’re an oppressor. From colleges to corporations to our culture, people are making money and gaining power by pretending we haven’t made any progress at all, by doubling down on the divisions we’ve worked so hard to heal.

You know this stuff is wrong. Hear me clearly: America is not a racist country. It’s backwards to fight discrimination with different types of discrimination. And it’s wrong to try to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present.

I’m an African American who has voted in the South my entire life. I take voting rights personally. Republicans support making it easier to vote and harder to cheat. And so do the voters! Big majorities of Americans support early voting, and big majorities support Voter I.D. — including African Americans and Hispanics. Common sense makes common ground.

But today, this conversation has collapsed. The state of Georgia passed a law that expands early voting; preserves no-excuse mail-in voting; and, despite what the president claimed, did not reduce Election Day hours. If you actually read this law, it’s mainstream! It will be easier to vote early in Georgia than in Democrat-run New York.

But the Left doesn’t want you to know that. They want people virtue-signaling by yelling about a law they haven’t even read! Fact-checkers have called out the White House for misstatements. The president absurdly claims this is worse than Jim Crow.

What is going on here? I’ll tell you. A Washington power grab. This misplaced outrage is supposed to justify Democrats’ new sweeping bill that would take over elections for all 50 states; it would send public funds to political campaigns you disagree with, and make the bipartisan Federal Elections Commission partisan!

This is not about civil rights, or our racial past. It’s about rigging elections in the future. And, no — the same filibuster that President Obama and President Biden praised when they were senators, the same filibuster that the Democrats used to kill my police reform bill last year, has not suddenly become a racist relic just because the shoe is now on the other foot!

Race is not a political weapon to settle every issue the way one side wants. It’s far too important.

This should be a joyful springtime for our nation. This administration inherited a tide that had already turned. The coronavirus is on the run! Thanks to Operation Warp Speed and the Trump Administration, our country is flooded with safe and effective vaccines.

Thanks to our bipartisan work last year, job openings are rebounding. So why do we feel so divided, anxious? A nation with so much cause for hope should not feel so heavy-laden. A president who promised to bring us together should not push agendas that tear us apart.

The American family deserves better. And we know what better looks like!

Just before COVID, we had the most inclusive economy in my lifetime.

The lowest unemployment rates ever recorded for African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians. And a 70-year low, nearly, for women.

Wages were growing faster at the bottom than at the top…

That happened because Republicans focused on expanding opportunity for all Americans…

We passed Opportunity Zones, criminal justice reform, and permanent funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities for the first time ever.

We fought the drug epidemic, rebuilt our military, and cut taxes for working families and single moms like the one that raised me.

Our best future won’t come from Washington schemes or socialist dreams. It will come from you — the American people.

Black, Hispanic, white, and Asian. Republican and Democrat. Brave police officers and black neighborhoods.

We are not adversaries. We are family!

We are all in this together. And we get to live in the greatest country on Earth.

The country where my grandfather, in his 94 years, saw his family go from cotton to Congress in one lifetime.

So I am more than hopeful — I am confident — that our finest hour is yet to come.

Original sin is never the end of the story. Not in our souls, and not for our nation. The real story is always redemption.

I am standing here because my mom has prayed me through some really tough times.

I believe our nation has succeeded the same way:

Because generations of Americans, in their own ways, have asked for grace, and God has supplied it.

So I will close with a word from a worship song that really helped me through this past year. The music is new, but the words draw from Scripture.

[May] the Lord bless you and keep you,
Make His face shine upon you
And be gracious to you…

May His presence go before you,
And behind you, and beside you…

In your weeping and your rejoicing,
He is [with] you…

May His favor be upon [our nation] for a thousand generations
And your family… and your children…
And their children.

Good night, and God bless.

 

He didn’t say that there is no racism in America. He pointed out discrimination he himself has faced. What he said was that America is not a racist nation. He’s right. We are not systemically racist.

 

I have to agree with Senator Scott. America is not a racist country in that our system is set up in a racist manner. It used to be, but not anymore.

But as he demonstrated with his statement about experiencing racism, that does not mean America does not have racism.

But ultimately, it doesn't matter how one chooses to arbitrarily describe racism, whether it's systemic or situational. The racists who express racism and the people who it is expressed to will still have the same experiences whether you want to call America itself racist or describe America has having racism. These distinctions only matter in political discussions so we can argue over semantics.

At the end of the day, the actual racism people express and experience will not change based on terminology. There will still be racism and there will still be systemic racism too, even if it is likely isolated to smaller more local situations instead of national institutions.

 

Seems Tim has an issue within his community.

 

White progressives have no business calling a black man an uncle anything. It is a racial slur. There is something uniquely disgusting about the rules for thee but not for me attitude of the left. They are free to sling racial slurs around while at the same time calling everybody but themselves racist scum. There is a reason that the Pharisees were despised in the Bible.

 

Quick review, and these posts were not white progressives.

I did find it interesting that in a day when three white men, who terrorized a young black man, are charged with heinous racist crimes that Tim would make that statement.

 

Anecdotes are not evidence, data is. According to FBI crime stats, blacks are 10 times more likely to violently victimize white victims than whites are likely to violently victimize black victims. This data has been presented 100s of times on this forum.... 100s of times. The only rebuttal I have ever seen is that it is systemic racism by whites that causes this disparity..... only God can understand that logic.

Liberal Logic:
If a white harms a black person, it is always due to racism.
If a black harms a white person, it is always due to systemic white racism.

This is an unwinnable game. I have no idea why we conservatives keep pretending that data and logic are ever going to persuade those with religious beliefs.

 

More racism from the left. They just keep showing their true colors and their true heart filled with hatred.

 

What I find absolutely amusing is that the same people who scream systemic racism in our country sit here, in this very thread, and condone white liberals calling a black opposition an Uncle Tom (Tim). Biden I guess wasn't wrong in that this country is full of racist.... It's literally called the democratic party.

 

Appears to be POC doing it to me. For the record it's unfair and racist for non POC to denigrate Tim Scott. By all intent purposes a decent Senator and man. Even if he doesn't understand that our country isn't founded on Christian principles.

 

And yet, you still support the party and the people who used the insult, do you not? And attempting to blame shift is just another example of your unwillingness to criticize your own peeps. Of course, the actual citations of who was leading the charge on twitter you ignored. Why is that? Touré Neblett is no trump supporter are they?

 

If you remove the partisanship and biblical reference, in principle, I agree completely. Simply put, nobody should call any black person an uncle Tom. Everyone's a hypocrite. We wouldn't be human if we weren't. The differences lie in degree, and this isn't earth shaking, but yes, the more extreme the worldview, generally the more one encounters hypocrisy.

However, in this particular case, choosing the only black Republican senator, in a time of racial strife, to spout Republican talking points and rebut essentially nothing from Biden's speech, is going to elicit these responses. It's not like nobody could have predicted this. It's not like nobody could have predicted the outrage seen in this OP.

Biden gave a great speech, and Scott gave a "rebuttal" knowing he'd be called an Uncle Tom. Politics as usual.

 

"Hear me clearly: America is not a racist country."

 

Apparently you are having issues with discerning the difference in meaning I see. Saying there is no racism in the US is not the same as saying that the US is not a racist country.

 

He never said there was "no racism" in the United States. He said that America is not a racist country.

The difference I'm pretty sure being that he meant there is not a problem with systematic racism in the U.S. Which is quite a defensible position.

 

Would it have been different if congress man Donalds or congressman Owens had given our rebuttal?

 

No. It's about principle. That there are two black House members is irrelevant. It would have been a slightly better look to choose one of the House members, but nobody knows Donalds or Owens.

I don't think Tim Scott is an Uncle Tom, and nobody should call him that. What little I know of Scott earns my respect. I don't agree with him much, but he's intelligent and serious. The point is, putting him up there in that position at this point in time makes him look like an Uncle Tom.

The black community doesn't want to hear a black senator say Republicans good, Democrats bad. They want to hear a white senator tell them how they're going to support them as a community. They heard a white president do that. The Republican response failed in any attempt to speak to blacks. But that's not who the intended audience was anyway.

 

You mean this young black man?

In the months leading up to his death, Arbery was once again investigated for crimes centered around jogging when a string of convenience store robberies put him back on the radar of police.

“In 2019 and 2020,” the documents read, “local convenience store witness interviews reveal Mr. Arbery became known as ‘the jogger’ for his repeated conduct and behaviors of running up, stretching in front, and then entering several convenience stores where he would grab items and run out.” According to the documents, Arbery became violent on several occasions when confronted about his criminal behavior.
