Does anti-racism also mean slurring black conservatives? – The Spectator

The latest target for online mobs is South Carolina s Republican senator Tim Scott. His crime is apparently being a black conservative who gave a thoughtful televised response to President Biden s address to a joint session of Congress. The mob responded by calling him Uncle Tim , a none-too-clever play on the old racial epithet, Uncle Tom . Twitter allowed that hashtag to trend.

Scott has endured such insults before. So have all black conservatives.  They shouldn t have to stand alone in their response. Good people, including those who disagree sharply with conservatives, should stand with them. Slanders like these, left unanswered, degrade us all.
