Black Republicans Go Silent After Trump’s Racist Obama Post. Complicity by Choice. Trump went racist. Many Black Republicans went silent. That silence wasn’t restraint — it was betrayal. After Donald Trump reposted a racist video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama using dehumanizing imagery, Black Republican elected officials and party figures offered no public condemnation. Their silence was not neutral. It functioned as consent. On Roland Martin Unfiltered, the segment lays out how choosing party loyalty over moral clarity enables racism to move forward unchecked. In moments like this, silence is not restraint — it is participation. We’ve launched our official Telegram channel. Follow for the latest videos from #RolandMartinUnfiltered & Black Star Network.

For Tim Scott to write that "This is the racist thing I have seen to come out of this White house" means he recognizes that there were other Racist things that came out of this White House that he didn't speak about. So that BS about America is not a Racist country that he keeps spouting, he never believed himself and knew to be totally a LIE!!!! Just my observation.

Tim Scott said that this was the most racist thing that he ever heard come from the White House. Translation: Meaning that there were other racist things he heard....but this just happened to be the worst thus far.
