"Hear me clearly," "America is not a racist country."- Tim Scott

I think he means that there have been a systematic racism since the founding of the USA. Since the CRA and the 60s, while racism in general might have been reduced, there's still "residual racism".

Agreed.

And it’s hardly limited to whites. And it’s not a realistic expectation to think it will disappear. I think we’re getting somewhere with you.

iv'ee been around the block more then once.
Iv'e told the story of how my black neighbor back when I was a kid "enlightened me" that he wanted the same thing for his family when he moved into the house next door - as the white couple with kids did that moved out.
It stayed with me. It taught me all people are the same. Skin color is meaningless.

Now the Progs want to overturn that, and the teachings of Dr King that skin color doesn't matter

it's loathsome that Progs/Dems/Whatever the fuck now say white people are privleged or the black man
can't succeed because of "systemic racism" or whatever garbage you Dems are lying about for political gain.

it's simply not true. we are a colorblind society. we have a rainbow of success stories,
an a thriving black middle class outside the ghetto, or large swatches of Dem cities.


This 1619 Project mentality, this lie we are a racist society- unable to shake off the original sin of racism
is destroying our E Pluribus Unum, and our common heritage.
And it's hurting young blacks expectations for themselves

The CRA ended systemic racism. period. it does not exist anymore.
When we find isolated instances of racism, we root them out, we prosecute and we do not accept it as a social norm.

Lying and calling the USA a failed racist construct imparts a sense of victimization to young blacks.
You ( not you personally) are creating the notion they cannot succeed, or any failures are because they are victims.

It's the "soft prejudice of diminished expectations" I find most vile

With all due respect good brother, in spite of the wisdom that your neighbor gave you, he could not break your conditioning.

Question: Are you of the opinion that race played no part in the epidemic of police murders of unarmed people the world .. and more importantly, young blacks and our children, are watching daily? In your mind race has nothing to do with it?

ONLY conditioning would make you deny the obvious. ONLY conditioning would make you claim that America is not a racist nation, founded on a racist history. How did your neighbor miss that?

The CRA did not end systematic racism and to profess that demonstrates that “truth” is told to you, not discovered for yourself. I say that with no disrespect intended, but your conditioning is stronger than your own sense of humanity, stronger than your intelligence.

I mentored middle school at-risk students for 11years. You, my brother could not teach them anything with blinders on. They do not exist in your world of make-believe. They exist in a world where any interaction with police, could result in their murder. They exist in a country where even after 400 years in America, we still have to fight against YOUR SIDE for the right to vote still trying to proclaim Trump is the king.

I could go on and on for days, but America is clearly a racist nation, and just because many Americans are not racist, MOSTLY ALL ON THE OPPOSITE OF YOUR SIDE, does not deny the existence and racist intentions of YOUR SIDE.

In no way am I suggesting that you are infected with the disease of racism, but you are certainly misinformed about who and what America is. We survive and prosper IN SPITE of institutional racism.

The entire world is watching America be the racist nation it has always been.

So I quote a right wing asshole CFM and ask the right if it’s a racist statement and some racist fuck blob lies to pretend I adhere to their racist brain cancer stupidity

You didn't quote anyone. I quoted Y O U.

You're also still the only JPP poster who's repeatedly bragged about spitting in a black man's face.

So once again a white man is telling a black person he is only allowed to have one experience in this country and think and speak one way. Having nuanced or even contrarian views is not allowed. Your attitude towards Scott, and others like him, is 'learn to stay in your lane black man'.

With all due respect brother, the white man you are talking to has skin in the game and most likely has worked to give Scott the freedom to say truly stupid shit on the world stage, as did all the liberals who fought to get him there. Thus, he not only has a right to criticize Scott, he has the same obligation to criticize Scott as I do.
 
Scott is merely a GOP boy, used as a prop and symbol for their 'Big Tent' bullshit

how many other blacks in the GOP Senate?.........if Scott hadn't been able to bamboozle enough S.Carolina hicks there would be ZERO black GOP senators

naw, he ain't no Tom!!

Hear me clearly," he said. "America is not a racist country." :thumbsup:

Scott used the GOP rebuttal to continue a theme he started earlier in the week about how there is unity in the country's diversity, claiming that Republicans have supported policies that have reformed the criminal justice system and opened the economy to all Americans regardless of race.

"Just before COVID, we had the most inclusive economy in my lifetime," he said.
"The lowest unemployment rate ever recorded for African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians, and a 70 year low nearly for women. Wages were growing faster for the bottom 25% than the top 25%. That happened because Republicans focused on expanding opportunity for all Americans."

Republicans controlled Washington in May 2018 when the African American unemployment rate dipped to 5.9%, for instance.

It's not surprising for a Trump ass kisser to say that.

No politician is above reproach so Tim Scott is free to be criticized just as anyone else is. I have no issue with that. But there's a much deeper issue/message to Nordberg's criticism. Most of us are familiar with the Uncle Tom and what it entails. That's clearly what Nordberg is calling Tim Scott here. The term white supremacy gets used quite a bit, to me Nordberg's comments ITT towards Scott are an example.

I like your dog on the Oriental rug, evince, and I admire your optimism as well.
Maybe we can eventually evolve into what you'd like us to become.

But we must address the world as it exists.
I'm a hard left progressive, politically.
I marched with Dr. King as a college student in the 1960s.

I don't want to be a racist, but I'm obviously not perfect.
We know that because you've called me a racist at least ten times on these pages--
sometimes for such trivial reasons that it suggests you may have racist feelings about Euro Americans like me.
Why wouldn't you?

I'm not your enemy. If I'm not perfect, I'm also not TDAK or one of the other Hitler Youth members on these pages.
Don't put too much trust in change through teaching people.
The REAL racists on JPP know damn well that they're racists already...and simply don't care.

Every country inhabited by more than one race is a racist country.
People are tribal by nature.

The best we can do is legislate against racist behavior.
We can't legislate how people feel.

People are what they are.
We don't get to draw our own blueprints.

You called Tim Scott a Lawn boy and a Uncle Tom so you are a disgusting piece of shit.

I merely joined my African American brothers and sisters in calling him that.
They're the ones that he's embarrassing.
I have plenty of white morons like you embarrassing me.

Scott clearly sees personal profit in speaking righty positives. Tokens do get special protections. Systemic racism is inequality in institutions and systems of power. Examples are employment, government agencies, and social services. It takes the form of unfair policies, practices, and discrimination. It results in discriminatory treatment, unequal opportunities, and poorer outcomes.
We have it bigly. Schools and police treatment are some of the most obvious. Getting followed around at stores is a more subtle example. it exists in all minorities' lives.
