Yippee! Now the Democrats can't call Republicans racist!

I like what In know of Tim Scott. But already, the "narrative" - poor, black, southern, single mom, yadda-yadda-yadda... nauseating. I hate identity politics, and I especially hate how bad the GOP is at trying to play that game.

Hopefully he doesn't mind being called an Uncle Tom, a House Negro, an inauthentic black, or a traitor to his race.

He was, WITHOUT regard to race, the BEST candidate being considered. He would vote more like me than most anyone unless I could get appointed to the seat myself......and I was NOT on the short list. 

This is what we want, people. A color blind society that allows us to advance based on our ideas and our character.  We cannot help that the idiot left will try to reduce him to being a black Republican. That must never deter us from choosing the best candidate.  The leftist media will try to undercut, in any way possible, ANY candidate who was appointed or even elected.

Ignore them.

They would be easier to ignore if Republicans weren't so eager to prove their non-racism by highlighting the "Black narrative"  bona-fides of Black Republicans as if there is a need to authenticate Republican Blacks, and that doing so inoculates them from attack.

No poor/southern/fatherless/self-made-bootstraps narrative of Black conservatives will buy them a moment's peace from the Left. So why play the game? Why behave as if that narrative is a defining characteristic?

As I said earlier, what I know of Scott, I like very much. I just wish the GOP didn't feel it necessary to tout his Black-cred in the process of justifying Haley's pick. He's either a good man, or he isn't. The GOP shouldn't fall into the trap of playing the Left's race game. It never helps anything.

The media is already disapprovingly commenting that "there are now no blacks in the Republican House caucus".  Well gee, how many blacks are in the Democrat Senate caucus???

Not half as much as I do Pan. I may be kicked to the curb as my search to get into heaven just for hating these evil bastards.

Quote
Republican Tim Scott is the only African American in the US Senate.
Mediaite reported, via Lucianne:

    You have got to hand it to the New York Times’ editors – they’ve got moxy. A Times opinion piece on Tuesday introducing their readers to the newest Senator from the Palmetto State, former Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC), speaks about him – and those with who share his political affiliation and skin color – in the terms you would describe a curious science project. In “The Puzzle of Black Republicans,” the Times summons all the subtlety of the Kool-Aid Man as they smash through the perception that the “paper of record” maintains a single shred of neutrality as they advance the notion that non-Democratic African-Americans are a curiosity to be examined like some newly discovered species of fish.

Gateway has the Times screenshot; you have to see it.  It actually says "modern black Republicans have been more tokens than signs of progress".
