What is it with white liberals believing they have the right to levy racist attacks against black Republicans? That happened again last night from several corners of the left after Tim Scott delivered his rebuttal to Joe Biden’s boring, yet surprisingly dangerous address to Congress.
Keith Olbermann mocked Scott, claiming he had “Stockholm Syndrome,” for example. You know, because a black man can’t possibly think for himself. He needs a white savior like Olbermann to dictate to him.
Sen. Scott insisting America is not racist but our healing from racism isn’t finished and he’s been called racist names.
Incidentally, Senator, anybody calls you the N-word is a friend of Trump’s. We progressives refer to you as a victim of Stockholm Syndrome. https://t.co/rnSpvOQS9x

The racism espoused showed just how effective Scott’s speech was.
I’m going to watch Senator Tom Scott’s speech later. I guess it was good if the reaction is the Left doubling down on being racist towards him.

But one attack stood out above the rest. Someone named Scott Nevins, a verified Twitter user with around 30,000 followers, decided it was a good idea to call Tim Scott an Uncle Tom via some tortured verb form he made up. Nevins claims to be a “TV personality and host” and an “LGBTQ contributor” in California, though, his Twitter bio doesn’t say what he actually hosts.
This is the kind of past brilliance he’s offered the world.
If baking a cake for a gay wedding means you support gay marriage, then helping a pedophile get elected in Alabama means you support pedophilia. #RepublicanHypocrisy

Nevins couldn’t handle seeing a black man delivering political viewpoints he doesn’t agree with, so he claimed that Tim Scott was “uncle tom’ing.”

That tweet has since been deleted with this quasi-apology put in its place.
Tonight I tried to do an ironic joke about Sen Tim Scott using the term “Uncle Tom” in his rebuttal. While I was shocked by his lack of self awareness, I should not have used that term myself, even in reference. That was not right. I apologize.

The roasting began immediately. Apparently, Nevins has a long history of using the term “uncle tom” in various forms to make racist attacks on black Republicans, and I mean a long history.
What was your excuse for these 4 tweets? https://t.co/N3fQby2X2U pic.twitter.com/0tl9ogvTrh

Because liberals falsely see themselves as the savior of black America, they also have this weird idea that they have permission to be racist. They don’t, and they should be called out vigorously when they exhibit that tendency. As my colleague Jennifer Oliver O’Connell says, there’s nothing more racist than a white liberal. That’s proven true through their rhetoric, and their policies, over and over.
Maybe some lessons will be learned here? I kind of doubt it, though.
