A Salute to Tim Scott

 
I heard today, of something so low that was said
About Republican Senator Tim Scott, that it made me sick.
His speech was a joyful account of this land
And the proud folks who built it, fought and died for it.
He talked of the chance to become anything a person wanted to be
No matter his race,
If he worked hard, with determination, and learned all he could,
He could succeed.
He spoke of his childhood and his single mom
Who taught him those things,
And he worked long and hard and accomplished his goal
And is thankful to live in this land of opportunity.
Tim Scott is what this country is all about; he took that opportunity.
He was born poor, got an education, worked hard. And is now
A United States Senator.
An American patriot and proud to be.
He doesn’t want to change it, bad mouth it, or make anybody ashamed of their color.
It doesn’t matter. We are all Americans.
America is not racist.
However, a very sad, dishonorable, and despicable thing was said by those who feel the necessity to put down anyone who thinks differently from them.
 They called him “Uncle Tim,” following the lead our very own Pres and his Jim Crow remark.
Tim Scott is a good man. He has shown his true colors.
So have his attackers.
For those who didn’t hear his speech last night, you can YouTube it.
It is worth listening to.
