Obama tells GOP presidential candidate Tim Scott just how he's allowed to be black
By Monica Showalter
Is there anything worse than a white liberal who tells a black person how he's allowed to be black?
Maybe it's President Obama, who these days has gone the Joe Biden route, and is now effectively telling Sen. Tim Scott how he's allowed to "live his truth" and be black.
According to The Guardian:
Barack Obama has criticized two Republican presidential hopefuls, the South Carolina senator Tim Scott and the former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, over their stances on race relations in America.
In a podcast interview, Obama, who became the first Black US president when he was elected in 2008, said that while presenting a hopeful message on race relations was important, “that has to be undergirded with an honest accounting of our past and our present”.
Scott is the only Black candidate in the 2024 Republican presidential primary race and Haley is Indian American.
Asked about Scott’s messaging, Obama said there was sometimes a tendency among Republican candidates to gloss over the effects of racism, arguing that candidates need to address racial disparities to be taken seriously on the subject of American unity.
Which has got to leave a sour taste in Scott's mouth, given that he's the only black man in the presidential race, and what's more, he's actually lived firsthand through the era of real racism as a child growing up in the South.
