Tim Scott and the “token black guy”

Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) recently announced that he is running for president. As the only Black senator in the Republican caucus, Scott plays a unique role in American politics. Especially when it comes to issues of race. So in this video, I want to blend a little media analysis with some political analysis. This video essays spans from American cinema to American economic policy.

For me, this is the beginning of a conversation I’ve been wanting to have for a while now. It isn’t exhaustive, and I’m processing.

I’ll be hanging out in the comment section to hear your thoughts as well!
