Joy Behar took a moment on Tuesday to �whitesplain� racism to two prominent
black conservatives � Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Senator Tim
Scott (R-S.C.).

Behar, who is white, made the comments during ABC�s midday broadcast of �The
View,� and she argued that neither Thomas nor Scott � who had just announced
his 2024 presidential campaign a day earlier � truly knew what it was like to
be a black man in the United States of America.

Tim Scott have no clue what it's like to be a black man in America.

�[Tim Scott] is one of these guys who � you know, he�s like Clarence Thomas �
a black Republican who believes in pulling yourself by your bootstraps rather
than, to me, understanding the systemic racism that African Americans face in
this country and other minorities.�

�He doesn�t get it,� she continued, adding, �Neither does Clarence, and
that�s why they�re Republicans.�

Co-host Sunny Hostin, who is biracial, agreed, and the audience laughed. Both
Hostin and Behar have attacked Thomas previously � Hostin claimed that the
black conservative Justice did not really �represent� the black community,
and Behar accused him of being �to the right of Attila the Hun.�

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg had also recently gone after both Thomas and Scott as
well. Just after the Supreme Court delivered the Dobbs decision overturning
the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade, Goldberg suggested that interracial
marriages might be next on the chopping block. �You better hope they don�t
come for you, Clarence,� she said, noting that Thomas is married to a white
woman.

Several months later, Goldberg joked that she couldn�t tell the difference
between Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Rick Scott (R-FL) without a visual aid.

�We do deserve to have two strong parties,� Goldberg said during a discussion
about former Governor Nikki Haley (R-SC) announcing a 2024 presidential bid.
�So, you know, Tim Scott, black Tim Scott, right? Because there are two
Scotts and I don�t know how to differentiate them without a picture. Rick
Scott and Tim Scott. Tim Scott is black, right? Okay � He�s about to run �
announce he�s running.�

Scott officially announced his candidacy on Monday.

What happened to all that business about white people just shutting up
and letting black people speak that was all the rage during the height
of the BLM Summer of Love, and was actually endorsed by the screeching
harridans on THE VIEW?

We were repeatedly told that white people-- even white allies-- need to
shut their mouths when black people are speaking about their lived
truths. And Behar and Goldberg and the other fishwives on the show were
in complete agreement.

You mean someone who doesn't constantly whine about being a victim and
look to government handouts-- specifically from Democrats-- to hold
their hands throughout their lives?

The soft bigotry of low expectations.
