Tim Scott and the “token black guy”

Leave Morpheus out of this now damn…

The case of Botham John is a real life example of the Magical N. When his brother hugged his brother's assailant, the judge too. Then the same woman appealed her sentence a month in.

Dollemore recommended you. I'm a fan!

In the green mile that movie would have lasted 15 minutes I'm real life… they would have killed him as soon as they found him with those girls

Isn’t the green mile just a veiled allegory for Christ ?

I think you need to do a deeper dive into who Tim Scott is. His role in helping bi-partisan legislation get passed such as the first step act, how he has successfully encouraged republicans members of congress to diversify their staff, or most importantly and I’m shocked this wasn’t included his famous speech talking about how as a sitting senator he was pulled over for driving while black and during the peak of the BLM movement he put forth legislation that included 80% of what the democrats had proposed that would have gotten passed but only for got shut down because “it didn’t do enough”. Leading to nothing getting passed in the end. One community can’t be married to one party. You need to work with both if you want to see progress made. You may disagree with Tim Scott philosophically but has consistently proven through his actions not words that he tries to work to the benefit of the Black community and the US as a whole. If you want to make analysis of whether he succeeds or not fine. But the first half of the video was unnecessary and just selling a narrative that hurts in the long run. Labeling Tim Scott a Token, Uncle Tom, or Magical Nero just hurts the Black Community in the long run. You can disagree with him, not agree with his philosophy, but he’s your ally for getting bi-partisan legislation passed not your enemy. You need the right wing too.

"Less CRT"? Wow…..How shameless can you get?

You ain’t shit for pointing out the white dude’s eyebrow reaction after the “… in case I had to fight” statement 😂😂😂

👳🏾‍♂️All' the is a stage and, we the people merely ♟️actors

This is called Meritorious Manumission..I learned this term years ago from Dr Claude Anderson.
These were slave Codes out of Virginia but spread.
A Slave could be freed or rewarded some type of accolade if:

1.They save a White Person's life

2.They invent something that is useful to the Master

3.They inform the Master of an impending Slave Rebellion.

THese " Slave Codes" Manifest in Movies and Snitch Culture.

What I don't like about your analysis of 'The Defiant Ones' is you leave out the part where Tony Curtis's character goes back to save Poitier's character after the woman they encounter give him directions to get lost in the swamp.

Clarence Thomas too

However, if it's a black main character and a white person helps them then it's white savior complex. Right? So what you're really saying is that integration in movies is bad. This is not a facetious comment, if you have a white main character with black side characters people claim magical negro. If you have black main characters and white side characters people, claim white savior complex. What is the solution? I did not engage with the rest of your video because the first two minutes were so ridiculous.

If the viewer isn't careful they might come to a different conclusion then the conclusion I want you to make. It couldn't possibly be nuanced, but it must be my own personal film critic that is the one true meaning. So let me shoehorn some things together to create engagement to my video. We all know what Tim Scott is, no need to slander the late Sidney Poitier with your hateful reaction.

I think they did it for those magical dollars. There are thousands of movies that have magical caucasians in them.

Uncle Tim Scott

Thank you for this video. I'm white, middle aged, southern, living in Texas. "The magical negro" concept is spot on. I have maintained blindness of this, never actually considering the concept/character. I believe a similar concept can be applied to tribal people throughout the Americas. You may have read Sherman Alexie. It came to my mind that this magical character might have roots in minstrel shows. My mind is now a whirlwind of thoughts of what I have blindly accepted that actually was this sort of character. I really appreciate your knowledge & humane logic.

I love the defiant ones. I never thought of it like that. I just saw two men. Geez I guess I’m that naïve. Hmm.

Tim Scott, Clarence Thomas, and Candace Owens are Oreos ! Please list more! 😂

Tim Scott strikes me as incredibly delusional… is he toking something weird?

I think the Green Mile more so shows the injustice of a racist system that would kill a black man that is not only an upstanding citizen, but that they know is innocent. And that the complicit white guards are helpless to stop the system even if they wanted to. I think it's a display of how rotten to the core the system truly is. I don't think necessarily it's a black guy taking on the troubles of white people lol. I think it makes white people look worse not better. So I think possibly your criticism is undue at least partially.

The problem here is Tim Scott wasn’t magical, he didn’t help at all. All he did was kowtow to Trump and humiliate himself.

I said that about The blk panther and I didn't like it and would never pay to see the same crap I see everyday
