'Uncle Tim' slur against Tim Scott trends on Twitter after his Biden rebuttal​


"Uncle Tim" trended on Twitter Wednesday night as left-wing users flooded the site with the racial slur on Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C, following his rebuttal to President Biden's address to Congress.

Scott, who is Black, declared the United States is not a racist country while noting he had encountered racism in his life. Some of it, he said, came from the left in the form of being called an "Uncle Tom," a derogatory phrase for Blacks who are viewed as too deferential to Whites.

His rhetoric infuriated some progressives, and Twitter placed "Uncle Tim" on its trending topics as more tweets relayed the insulting, racially charged play on his name. . . . .

Twitter allows ‘Uncle Tim’ to trend for hours after Sen. Tim Scott’s rebuttal, and then took action

Twitter allowed a racial slur about Sen. Tim Scott, the only black Republican senator, to trend on its site for 12 hours as he was attacked as an “Uncle Tim” for saying “America is not a racist country” in his rebuttal to President Biden’s first address to a joint session of Congress.

The term began to trend on Twitter late Wednesday evening after Scott noted in his speech that he has been the subject of derogatory comments about his race because of his political views.

It wasn’t until 10 o’clock Thursday morning that the social media giant stopped the attacks from appearing in its Trends.

Scott, in an appearance Thursday on “Fox & Friends,” slammed the use of the slur by his detractors, adding “you cannot step out of your lane according to the liberal elite left.”

“Intolerance so often comes from the left with words like ‘Uncle Tim’ being used against me by the left, and last night what was trending on social media was ‘Uncle Tim,’” Scott said.
