Tim Scott is a Black Republican Senator who, in his appearance on The View, was viciously attacked by Sunny Hostin for daring to say that America is not systemically racist. Having cited his own personal successes as an example, he was informed that he was clearly the exception rather than the rule. Inspired by the millions of Black Americans who have escaped poverty and are living fulfilling lives, he insisted that the simplistic narrative endorsed by Hostin was both inciting anti-White racism amongst Blacks while reducing their chances of succeeding by granting them the status of helpless victims. Indeed he had the audacity to point out that Black unemployment was at its lowest level ever under the presidency of Donald Trump.
Black Actor Morgan Freeman, in his appearance on The View, pretty much echoed Tim Scott when he suggested that Whoopi and company were Racists inasmuch as all they talked about was Race. Was he suggesting there are no White racists in the U.S.? Of course not! But he was clearly implying that various issues within Black communities, such as their high levels of crime, had more to do with the culture of anger and entitlement promoted by the Left than anything “oppressive” imposed upon them by White America.
Retired doctor and politician Ben Carson, also a man of color, was asked by the ladies of The View how he could possibly endorse that racist monster, Donald Trump. Carson responded that Trump, with little acknowledgement from the press, has actively supported several pro-Black and pro-Jewish initiatives and that those close to him have seen little evidence of a racial animus. While hardly claiming that Trump is perfect, he suggested the very future of the country demanded its citizens re-elect him. When he asked Whoopi and company to focus on the “big picture” rather than Trump’s personal flaws, he was clearly implying the Ideas and Values endorsed by him, however imperfectly, were utterly superior to those endorsed by the woke Left. But the ladies of The View, and indeed the Left in general, are not interested in Ideas and Values and continued to wonder how Carson could support such a jerk!
In an effort to promote her book “Liars, Leakers and Liberals,” Judge Jeanine Pirro, to her chagrin, agreed to appear on The View. As she reported later on Fox News, her interview ended with Whoopi screaming off camera: “F… you. F… you. Get the F… out of this building.” I understand that this is a bit of an exaggeration, but Whoopi’s reaction to Pirro’s conservative views is not unlike the reaction of the Left in general to anything with which it disagrees. Hence our Orwellian world in which perfectly rational observations are habitually dismissed as Hate Speech, Misinformation, White Supremacism, etc., etc., all of which serve to legitimize the Left’s suppression of Free Speech which it pursues, absurdly, out of its devotion to Democracy. Truly absurd!
Rickey McIntyre, a Black man whose website is entitled Okay Rickk, has concluded that The View should not be on TV. His assertion that it does nothing but incite racial discord seems perfectly rational. Reason, sadly, as I have maintained throughout these blogs, is of little interest to the “woke” Left. McIntyre’s identifying catch phrase, significantly, is: “I love all people.”
