30. He is very wrong

and I understand the anger at that. What i don't understand is perpetuating harmful stereotypes that some in this thread have gleefully been spreading. It's obvious Tim Scott is wrong. Racism is woven into the fabric of our society. And it's awful to deny that. I think some of the responses here have proven how wrong he is. A thread of "allies" who want to prove him wrong have done so better than they could have imagined.
