Senator Tim Scott, (R) South Carolina, just verified his uncle tom...

[brush]

bona fides by saying on FOX that "woke supremacy is as bad as white supremacy."

God. It's pitiful.

trump is gone, Scott. You don't have to kiss his ass anymore.

[Funtatlaguy]

1. I saw that and did a double take. Sad.

[niyad]

2. What in the f'n HELL does "woke supremacy" even mean?

[Blue_true]

4. It is a catch phrase that republicans are hoping obscures their intentions.

They know that when more people vote, they generally don’t fare well.

3. There is a family of the last name Scott that runs a successful

barbecue chain in South Carolina. Is he part of that family?

[SCantiGOP]

6. No, no relation

Common name in S.C.
And if you're ever in Kingstree, SC, stop at Scott’s Barbque.

19. I saw a show about Scott's Barbecue.

The Mom started it all and was still working in the business when the documentary was made.

I have been to Myrtle Beach once, but South Carolina doesn’t have many businesses that intersect my line of work. But if I am there for any reason, I will certainly try Scott’s Barbecue. Thanks for the head’s up, know I will know that I am not supporting Senator Tim Scott.

5. he sounds as dull & vapid as

a wet noodle.

How bad is that, scott?

[SCantiGOP]

7. Trump endorsed him a few days ago

And he voted against Garland’s nomination, while Graham votes for it.
He’s as trumpy as you can get, and that will guarantee him re-election in 2022.

[brush]

8. Maybe not. Rep. Clyburn might use his formidable clout to help get him out.

That "woke supremacy" foolishness will make a good negative ad against Scott.

[SCantiGOP]

11. Wish that were right

But for now, repubs have almost a 10
point edge.
Jaime Harrison had more money than any Democratic candidate, was dead even for most of the race and lost by 10.3%.

[Blue_true]

20. Could that 10% be once loyal republicans who have re-thought

their allegiance to the Republican Party?

What is likely needed there is an ex-military person that appeal to African Americans of both parties, White Democrats, and a decent slice of White republicans. I hope that our side doesn’t tie ankle weights around that person’s ankles by crafting poorly thoughtout phrases that republican image makers can use to demonize the Democrat.

[SCantiGOP]

21. Democrats in S.C. admit

We don’t have much of a bench. We ran two very attractive candidates last two Governor’s races, and they lost badly. One had served two tours in Iraq.

[Blue_true]

22. Wow. nt

[budkin]

9. I call him Uncle Tim

He’s awful.

[TomSlick]

10. I pity the guy.

He has sold his shriveled soul for a temporary position. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?

[JI7]

12. I saw that but I don't like the term "Uncle Tom" used to describe these

things because I read the book and Uncle Tom was the opposite of these actions.

[brush]

17. I'm Black and uncle tom is the word we sometimes use to describe our total disgust at...

this sort of thing. Other terms like ass kisser, lickspittle, toady and lackey are used by the larger society but I wanted there to be no doubt as to where I stand on the matter.

[GeorgeGist]

13. Such a sad little man.

[radius777]

14. Conservative PoC/women/etc are often oblivious

to the fact that they only have rights due to the struggles of the social justice left over the past 50 years.

Conservative PoC will often say 'I don't need special rights, only what the Constitution gives me.' They simply don't get that the Constitution was written for/by white men who did not intend for anyone else to have rights.

[Dorian Gray]

15. Honestly

calling a black man "Uncle Tom" reeks of racism, so I don't think the Woke Supremacy has invaded DU. (Sorry, but it's a real pet peeve of mine. You can argue his point without resorting to a common insult for a black man.)

Like this: He's totally misguided, and I hate to see that he's sticking to the republican playbook and isn't infecting nuance into the discussion. As a black man, I'm sure he's experienced racism in his life, especially in SC. So what is he complaining about with "wokeness" specifically. And why is it a rallying cry on the right?

[brush]

18. Spare me. I'm Black and I reserve the right to use the term uncle tom...

to describe my utter disgust for such lickspittery.

Oh, but thanks for the whitesplaining. I'll try to remember it for the next time.

[Takket]

16. Yeah the lynching of Dr Suess was pretty disturbing
