For starters, Sen. Scott did something that most on the left would not expect from a black conservative: He acknowledged the existence of racism and even discussed his experiences. Moreover, he did so without pretending that Neo-Nazis are systematically murdering scores of unsuspecting black men every single day. //

Secondly, Sen. Scott gave them an argument that he knew they could not adequately debunk. If they disagree with the senator about the prevalence of racism in America, they have to prove that it is an overall racist nation in 2021. This is quite a gargantuan task, given that the vast majority of all Americans are not racist. For this reason, the so-called progressive crowd is lying about his remarks – they are unable to counter his assertion.
