"These days, one can barely finish a first cup of coffee without confronting more accusations of racism in America. Cable news, print and social media, and even congressional proceedings are all now geared toward convincing the nation of its systemic bigotry.
"Today, everything is racist. Biden’s congressional address in late April wallowed in assertions of our supposed collective racist ills. Even his recent Infrastructure bill defines highways as racist.
"Senator Tim Scott, R-S.C., pushed back on that canard in his bold response to Biden’s congressional snooze-fest, declaring: “America is not a racist country”. Then began the left’s racist attacks.
"Within minutes, progressives on Twitter trended the hashtag “Uncle Tim”, a disturbing moniker dismissing Senator Scott’s remarks because of the color of his skin. Leftwing guests on cable news ridiculed Scott as the only black Republican in the U.S. Senate. Odd, because the Democrats currently only field two (Booker and Warnock). In fact, there were no Democrat Senators until 1996. Republicans have the honor of electing the first in 1870 and several more since.
"Earlier in April, in an effort to again tar Republicans with the racist mantle, Democrats in the Senate held a day-long examination of what they identified as “Jim Crow” laws revisited, specifically those evils underpinning the new Georgia voting statutes.
"Not only are these assertions and countless others simply unsupported by the facts, they grossly misrepresent the history of “Jim Crow” laws and the responsibility of the modern day Democratic Party for this heirloom of their past." . . . Full article here...
