Republicans criticized Black Lives Matter (BLM), the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and corporate America for refusing to condemn the “Uncle Tim” slur to black Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) that surfaced Wednesday and went viral on Twitter.
In the wake of his rebuttal to President Joe Biden’s address to a joint session of Congress, leftists on Twitter began using the hashtag “Uncle Tim” in reference to Scott, the lone black Republican in the Senate.
Democrats, who claim to be the only party to stand up for black Americans, have also reportedly remained silent on using the hashtag “Uncle Tim,” a play on the derogatory racial caricature Uncle Tom’s name presents black people as subservient.
Scott, the lone black Republican in the Senate, called out the hypocrisy of so-called “woke” corporate America.
He indicated that while they support BLM, sometimes echoing one of the leftist group’s favorite slogans, “Silence is violence,” they stay silent when the political ideology of a victim of racism does not align with the left.
On Friday, Sen. Scott tweeted:
Corporate America marches to the Left’s “silence is violence” rallying cry, but now that a conservative is attacked? Crickets.

This isn’t about me.
If you won’t stand up against racism, what are you saying to young Black & brown kids who dare to think differently? Be better. pic.twitter.com/wMnJak503h

If you tell the truth, like Tim Scott did, and you happen to be black, then you are really a bad guy. Now Tim, you know that the members of the lefty media and the DemocRAT-Chi-Com Party want you to get back on the DemocRAT plantation. The privileged and connected scum that run the big corporations feel guilty because they were born with silver spoons in their mouths and they know that all of those people out there in “flyover country” are just ignorant racists.
