Tim Scott: ‘Absolutely’ Lingering Effect of Centuries of Racism, Discrimination in America

Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that while he does not believe America was a racist country, there were lingering effects from racism and discrimination of the past.

Anchor John Dickerson said, “Let me ask you about your- your theory about race. You said America is not a racist country. And your response to the president. The president has subsequently said he agrees with you. So there’s some common ground there. You’ve also said to suggest there aren’t racial challenges and patterns is for someone to be blind. And you’ve also said that- that the system is breaking the back and breaking the spirit of millions of people in our country. And you’re talking about Black Americans who are being affected by that system. So help people understand when you say it’s not a racist country, but then you do talk about a system that targets Black Americans. You’ve talked about it today. Help people square those two statements.”

Scott said, “Sure. Well, first, let me say thank goodness that finally, our president, our vice president, and one of the leaders in the Democrat- Democrat caucus in the House, Jim Clyburn, have all come forward and said exactly what I’ve been saying for a long time. America is not a racist country. The question is, is there a lingering effect after a couple of centuries of racism and discrimination in this nation? The answer is absolutely. The question we should be debating and fighting over is how do we resolve those issues going forward.”

He added, “One side says I’m going to take from some to give to others. Fighting bigotry with bigotry is hypocrisy. It just doesn’t work. The second our side — what I’ve suggested is let’s expand opportunity and make sure that we are fully equipped for the challenges of the future. One of the reasons why we have fought for and won the highest level of funding for historically Black colleges, Republicans leading that fight, is because I understand that if I could level the playing field in education, we will actually see human flourishing like we’ve never seen before.”

[Antipathy]

America is a racist country. With disproportionate welfare, massive media circuses demonizing them and praising all other races and Affirmative Action denying people jobs on their skin color, there is definite racism towards a certain race.

Whites.

 

[UselessIdiot]

Every American company these days has a diversity and inclusion department, and hiring quotas. Black people are given preferential treatment when it comes to university admission and such, and they have a ton of representation in the media. A white person can lose their job and be unpersoned for saying anything the least bit "problematic"/controversial.

What lingering effects are they talking about?

 

[TLEN]

What's the point of lowering hiring standards until niggers can be hired if they refuse to work?

That is the lingering effect of racism and discrimination in America. Because people were racist in the past, as a lingering effect we've opened ourselves up to this sort of racial power play and unleashed the mind virus that to truly help black people/whoever, we need to give them everything in the world and punish white people for the sins of their ancestors.

Nobody is this obsessed about race in other countries (except maybe openly racist countries like North Korea or African shitholes where the government is all one ethnic group), even Western Europe isn't this bad about it and countries like Britain, France, and Belgium slaughtered colonial subjects by the millions with artificial famines. The majority of this racial garbage comes from American universities (even if it does owe a lot to French postmodernism), that's why only other Anglo countries come anywhere close to challenging the US for the crown of racial grievances.

tl;dr should've picked our own cotton

 

[Salubrious]

I mean, he did find out that America IS a racist country when a bunch of white liberals started calling him Uncle Tim.

I swear to GOD, white liberals are more racist than actual skinheads now. Plus they are straight up open about it. I can't remember the last time I saw an actual skinhead. And I post HERE!

 

[Ruin]

I can't even watch TV anymore. Literally every single network and cable show has some nigger whining about how slavery 200 years ago is the reason they can't read and rob a 711.

Black whining is why I went from mostly neutral on racial issues to an unapologetic racist. These whiny fucks need to shut the fuck up.

How do you "expand opportunity", in this context?

You need to drive resources to struggling black communities in order to help successive generations prosper, but many of those communities are driving resources away because of the state of their environment.

You're not going to get better schools with good teachers if much more time has to be devoted to disciplining the children or discipline is entirely foregone because everyone has given up on those kids-- and you're not going to get society-ready school graduates for the same reasons.

You're not going to get more grocery stores and pharmacies to nourish and help maintain growing and/or working minds and bodies when people are afraid to do business there on account of elevated violent crime. You're not going to get the stores that do exist to set their prices at more affordable levels when they need to offset revenue lost from robbery. You're not going to get more jobs in the area also for this reason.

Funding colleges that, frankly, didn't need the money in the first place is pointless-- not just because the colleges are still going to milk their students for everything they're worth or encourage them to shackle themselves to thousands of dollars in loan debt regardless of whether they're studying for a field that is likely to make adequate monetary returns, but because the problem doesn't start with colleges in the first place.

The problem starts in the home. I get Scott isn't an activist or a community organizer, so he doesn't have the latitude to mention this in interviews like these (because he'd have to state that these communities need to work out that issue, and given his particular notoriety as "that black Republican senator" that could easily screw him over in this sociopolitical climate), but you can only make literally anything he or I mentioned here work if you fix the pipe crack that is the broken home crisis that particularly affects the black community. No amount of "expanding opportunity" is going to yield fruit if there's no preparation.

Democrats can't stand when a black man escapes the plantation.

Of course they can't. More often than not, they're losing labor to a competing plantation.

Colleges ABSOLUTELY do not need any more money.
NO schools need more money.
It should be managed better.

If colleges cut their Humanities programs you'll see racial tensions disappear in less than a year.

All of my folks hate all of your folks
It's American as apple pie

It's hilarious every time a white liberal sees a black republican, they respond with anger and betrayal. "I'm doing this for you! You should know better." The phrase "should know better" gives me a nervous tick now.

I can't even watch TV anymore. Literally every single network and cable show has some nigger whining about how slavery 200 years ago is the reason they can't read and rob a 711.

Black whining is why I went from mostly neutral on racial issues to an unapologetic racist. These whiny fucks need to shut the fuck up.

I don't think they realize (or care) that it's having this effect on people. America hates black people more now than 18 months ago; that's a fact. And it's not because of "systemic racism", it's because BLM won't shut the fuck up, complain that they have the RIGHT to get reparations by looting, then call the store owners white supremacists when they complain.

Part of it is because they are so used to social media now where they can just shout rabble rabble rabble until they win. When that doesn't work in the real world, it CONFIRMS that people are systemically racist in their minds because obviously the oppressed minorities are the good guys, so anyone that stands against them must be bad.

I keep saying it, actual white supremacists think black people are a bunch of felons and thugs; now BLM is saying blacks should be able to commit felonies with impunity and YOU are bad if you call the cops. Congrats BLM, we are now the actual people white supremacists accuse us of being. Way to go!

Weren't most whites in serfdom for longer than blacks were in slavery?

There was a commercial I saw the other day on Nickelodeon where kids as young as 9 or 10 were talking about systematic racism and being denied something for the color of their skin. How we should end systematic racism because 14 year old Deshawn got pulled over with his parents one day out of the blue. It was so scripted it was unreal and I rolled my eyes and turned to Food Paradise.

He just contradicted himself. How many atrocities and horrific situations were influenced by race in this country?

I'm not challenging your question or calling it bullshit but the explanation to me was that when the Pilgrims landed, race issues weren't exactly something in the forefront of everyone's minds since iirc those people left for religious freedoms. All of the race shit came soon after with slavery and indian raids. That's what it sounds like to me but hey i could be reaching and seeing something not there.

Part of it is because they are so used to social media now where they can just shout rabble rabble rabble until they win. When that doesn't work in the real world, it CONFIRMS that people are systemically racist in their minds because obviously the oppressed minorities are the good guys, so anyone that stands against them must be bad.

Social media was a mistake first and foremost because of this shit here. It gives the dumbest of fucks a public voice that has a 50/50 chance of gaining traction and going viral or being treated as the voice of God. A lot of people need the reality check that not only is the internet not real life, but they are influencing real life by this social media shit. I remember someone telling me that the President is not only represented by its people but a mirror image of them as well. Trump being a meany boo boo on twitter is just art imitating life.

Weren't most whites in serfdom for longer than blacks were in slavery?

Not really, because lots of Africans had serfdom and slavery too even before they started selling their people to the Arabs and later huwhites. Serfdom is pretty much a medieval/early modern construct even if tying people to land is an ancient idea.

Most US whites were pretty free compared to Europe outside of Southern whites who at times were close to serfs (but still nowhere near as bad as, say, Imperial Russian serfs). White sharecroppers (not really serfs for a number of reasons) did tend to have it a little better than black sharecroppers economically.
