Welp, break out the champagne Black folks.
Sen. Tim Scott said Wednesday night that America is no longer “a racist country.” And oh… how Twitter has responded.
“Hear me clearly: America is not a racist country. It’s backwards to fight discrimination with different discrimination. And it’s wrong to try to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present,” the Senate’s lone Black Republican declared during his party’s official response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address in the House of Representatives.
“Original sin is never the end of the story. Not in our souls and not for our nation. The real story is always redemption,” Scott continued.
