Yesterday marked a major mile stone in American Senate. Republican Tim Scott, a black man, from South Carolina becomes the first person of color to win a Senate election in the south since Reconstruction (making him the 5th black Senator in history) with an astounishing 61% of the votes

However, some ignorant shit heads can't celebrate because he's a Republican

As much as I dislike republicans, that Uncle Tom shit is racist. It's kind of like throwing around the term "wigger".

No, we just shouldn't be celebrating.

A black guy was elected?

Who fucking cares. Jesus.

Dude this is South Carolina.

Easily the most racist state in the union.

Considering he won by a very high margin and has define the stereotype of southern racism, this is very much to celebrate

But why can't we celebrate this when people celebrated Obama winning president?

Have you already forgotten the terrible things said about Obama when he won?

Dude this is South Carolina.

Easily the most racist state in the union.

I resent that claim.

Too bad he's a Republican.
