Black Lives Matter, NAACP silent in wake of 'Uncle Tim' Twitter trend
Fox News
Some prominent liberal groups, including Black Lives Matter and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), haven't weighed in on the "Uncle Tim" Twitter insults lobbed at Sen. Tim Scott Wednesday night.
The senator, who is behind a push for police reform legislation and had a bill on the issue blocked via filibuster by Senate Democrats last year, made headlines by declaring "America is not a racist country." "I've also experienced a different kind of intolerance," Scott also said. "I get called Uncle Tom and the N-word by progressives, by liberals. Just last week, a national newspaper suggested my family's poverty was actually a privilege."More Related News
