There’s probably nothing more ironic than a white liberal telling an African-American man that he does not understand “racism.”
During an off-the-rails segment on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Joy Behar said South Carolina Republican Sen. does not seem to understand the difference between racism and systemic racism.
The conversation began when the panel spoke about Scott giving the State of the Union rebuttal to Joe Biden’s speech on Wednesday, during which Scott talked about race and said that the United States isn’t a racist country.
“He does not seem to understand — and a lot of them don’t seem to understand — the difference between a racist country and systemic racism,” Behar told the panel.
“Maybe it’s not a racist country, maybe Americans — the majority — are not racist. But we live in a country with systemic racism,” said Behar, who also called it “appalling” that Scott didn’t “acknowledge” the existence of systemic racism in the United States during his speech.
“At least acknowledge that there is systemic racism,” she added.
Sunny Hostin, another co-host of “The View,” said that Scott was chosen to give the rebuttal speech because of his race.

“Why was he chosen to give this rebuttal? He was chosen because he is the only black Republican senator,” said Hostin.
“He is the person that Republicans want to put out front because of the problem of racism in this country and he knows that. So I was sort of disappointed that he was used in this way and didn’t take that opportunity to address that type of — this type of issue head-on,” she added.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
