Tim Scott and the “token black guy”
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- 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!

Tim Scott's next mission to explain why Medicare shouldn't negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies.
John Coffey's kindness and servility in the face of a system that treats him as a monster for no reason is not a celebration of a character, it is an indictment of the status quo. It should also be seen as an indictment of the protagonist's character; your tears mean NOTHING, prison guards. If you aren't willing to sacrifice anything in return for a man who has given everything, what kind of person are you?
White. 😂
Thank you for demonstrating that the "magical Negro" was not only a feature of movies in racist past, but also in the post-Jim Crow USA
The reason Tim Scott acts the way he does is because of one reason and one reason only.....power. He has to appeal to his donors as well as the White, Dixie, Trump-happy majority he represents. It also panders his self-hatred.
Tim Scott handed in his man card when he suspended his campaign and kissed Trump’s a$$.
Why didn't Candace owens invite timmy to her baby shower they are two of a kind.
@@benjaminchisolmjr7863 Candace Owens is against the Ukraine and Israel War. Tim supports these wars.
Tim never had a chance of winning the election. Tim cares more about Ukraine than he does black people.
Probably afraid Tim would steal her gay husband
I dislike Tim Scott to such a degree and in SO many ways- quite frankly- I can neither decide or say which of THEM TOPS THAT LIST
Dollemore sent me. This is my first video from you. I am disturbingly, pleasantly surprised. I am now a subscriber. Thank you.
I just signed up because of Dollemore myself and this is the first video I watched myself....
Me too. If Jesse recommends a site, I’m grateful for his opinion.
Me too!!!
This shows that Tim Scott is one of many Trump supported elected officials, who have traded away there morality, integrity, and love for America in exchange for personal gain.
Me too!!!
Jesse sent me and now I'm gonna watch all of your work!
Because Jesse was right... you're awesome!
Same
Same!
Same! ❤🎉
Unfortunately power corrupts no matter what color you are. Jesse sent me. Keep up the good work. Would love to see you hosting your own tv show one day!
Sell-Out. The names change, but the game stays the same. Tim Scott is there for Tim Scott. He claims that he's directed billions to help black communities but they are only getting booted out of their old neighborhoods using that same money that was meant to improve it.
Great work! The Magical Negro should be an elective at universities. The topic creates an interesting discussion that would benefit critical thinkers.
Thanks to Dollemore for showing your channel
Tim Scott is step and fetch it!
Tim Scott has been falling over himself sucking up to Mango Mussolini lately. Seeing him clearly understanding what happened in Charlottesville is more disturbing to me than watching him suck up to America’s Great White Hope. He does KNOW what he does.
You misspelled Dope… America’s Great White Dope.
Barrack still worst than him. Brought that racist Joe Biden into the white house.
The rest of Maga saw nothing special about Scott, so they dumped him.
Boy! Tim Scott and Candace Owens cut from the same cloth! Gotta please Massa!😅😅😅
ah Candace Owens, one of conservatives' favorite straight, white male talking heads.
Yeah, let’s not forget good ol Clarence Thomas! I mean, how do you explain that man. He’s that irony that’s a hard pill to swallow
Jesse Dollemore sent me - I really like your channel. It's a real eye opener and I'm now a subscriber. Thank you. With the utmost respect, I have to say that while the film of The Green Mile maybe used the "magical negro" trope, it missed the entire point of the book. John Coffee was torn up by his gift. He was truly a tortured soul and he wanted to die - he wanted release from his "gift". It didn't matter what color John Coffee's skin was; the story was about how what so many people would have thought was a blessing was, in fact, a curse. Paul Edgecomb (the Tom Hanks character) was going to work to get Coffee released and Coffee wouldn't let him, begged him not to. I only watched the movie once because it really annoyed me (as so many movies from Stephen King's books do) so I don't recall if they followed this part of the story or not, but taking the disease of the warden's wife into his body ... that wasn't Coffee being magical or altruistic... Coffee was getting himself a murder weapon that he then took back to the green mile and used it to kill the guy who had really killed those little girls. Edgecomb wasn't the hero of the book, Coffee was. It's a common theme with Stephen King, to use frequently marginalized people as heros. Sorry for the long post. 😏
Thanks amazing commentary.
He can come to the table, but he’s not welcome to eat
Tokens get spent, Tim.
Right?
That’s a good one! I’m stealing this.
dude this needs more views this is so well made
🙏🏾🤞🏾 one day! we’re growing 🙏🏾
Just found it. I am in.
I visited your channel on the recommendation of Jesse Dollemore. I’m now a subscriber. Your videos are excellent.
Your videos are really good quality. Nice work
I don't come across a lot of good analytical content on UA-cam, so you know I gotta subscribe when I see it. Great work!
Thanks for watching!
Jesse sent me. Seems like a great content creator.
Great information. I will thank you Jesse Dollemore profusely for guiding me here to your channel. I have learned so much today,
Great video! Incredible editing style btw, it's clear you put a lot of work into this, and I hope this blows up man!!
👍🏿
[Someone took the Picacho from my car. 😅]
Lmao... I was just talking about this with my friends ( because of how the society of magical... Missed the mark). Great work on the video!
Fascinating-how you connected the magical negro trope to Tim Scott. I see it. Almost 15-years ago, I did a paper on the trope’s presence in the 2008 film - The Secret Life of Bees. I am a film fanatic, however, prior to that I had not realized how prominent the use of that theme was. From that point on, I could not stop talking about it. Well done. Keep doing what you do.
Thank you. That paper sounds good!
Mark Robinson is about to show us a much more evil version of this trope
For Tim Scott to be "magical", he would need to possess some talent or skills that would distinguish himself as such... so far, I have yet to see that.
Magical negro characters didn't have to be literally magical. Sometimes they might have just been very wise or special in some other way. But yeah, Tim Scott doesn't really have that either. He's just kind of service to the main character of Trump. He's more like Samuel Jackson in Django Unchained.
Other than Token from South Park, Tim Scott may be the best example of a 'token black guy'. That could be recency bias. There's probably better examples I can't recall.
Ben Carson, Mark Robinson and Herschel Walker to name a few
Garrison, thank you for showing me another pov regarding those films. ❤
He’s Stephen from Django Unchained…nuff said. Dollemore sent me btw
Tim Scott is “Uncle Ruckus” come to life.
- Wow, UA-cam didn’t censor you?
You think he's bad? Wait until you hear about Mark Robinson
Senator Mushmouth... So fitting
He likes to put a mushroom in his mouth
....just ask Herschel Walker about GOP friendship..... guess the Republican party en masse lost his number.
Great analysis, Garrett. I will be sharing this video with family who live and vote in SC.
Excellent analysis! What I appreciate most about this video and your last on Clarence Thomas, is that you’re ultimately highlighting the significant influence both of these individuals have on a demographic group that I believe they genuinely started out wanting to serve. The question that is rhetorically posed, is how does one prevent this evolution from happening, especially in politics?
Thanks, Charles! Yeah, great question. Like I said, I’m still figuring out where I want to land on that last question. American politics are a bit frustrating
John Coffey wanted to die because of the evil in the world. Tom Hanks was going to try and let him go
Yep. Just kind of skipped over that part. They all were gonna let him go. But the rest of the video is accurate.😅
Also left out the extremely obvious biblical allusions… John Coffey is clearly the savior character, like that of Jesus Christ
This is probably the very best content on this matter I have ever seen/herd. Excellent job and Presentation.
Never thought I’d see such a good video essay on Tim Scott lmao but it’s the exact kind of content I want. This is the first video I’ve seen from you and I’m definitely going to check out more. Would love to work with you something :)
Thank you for a very insightful commentary.
I really appreciated the quality of this video and was shocked to see you don’t already have millions of subscribers.
Thank you, almighty algorithm, for bringing me here. We'll researched, well written, well presented. Subbed!
This is such a well put together video, great job!
I’m so thankful I found your channel
Watched you cover for Dollemore and now I'm subscribed to you as well. Great insights. Great breakdown of complex issues.
Can we all say joke. When we say Tim Scott.
I needed this ty my brother
What I dislike about Tim Scott most--If I became successful, surely anyone else can. That ignores so much. I tend to think of schools. Wealthier neighborhoods have better schools.
Great job eye opening thank you
Thank you so Very Much for assisting me in Understanding the mindset of this image from Both sides! Please Keep up the Good Work!!
Great analysis and commentary!
Thank you. I've been blindsided no pun intended..I was fixed on one thing while the other escaped me...This is very good...again thank you!
You were spot on with this one! Thanks!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I just discovered this channel and have been binging every video. Incredible work!
Tom Tim is who he is.
Thank you for this.
I just stumbled on your channel and M now a subscriber. Great content

Thank you for speaking on the insidious nature of these situations. Makes me feel heard.
Very eye opening information .....loving the hell out this channel been watching your content back to back...thanks again for what you do Sir,
That was excellent.
Diaper Don has dirt in Timmy. He has to start groveling
WOW-a concept that I was totally ignorant of-Thank You
EXCELLENT PROGRAM!! WELL DOCUMEN TED!
I was a Token Black Guy when i drove trucks for this country... Until i wanted to go lease/Owner operator...
Mr. Hayes, I enjoyed listening to your argument. Thank you for conducting granular research regarding this topic. I'll continue to watch your future videos.
excellent argument presented very succinctly. great work Garrison
Wow another banger Garrison! honestly never knew about Tim Scott before this video, but your explanations of his views is connecting some dots for me.
Always great to see you in comments! Thanks for watching.
I'm very impressed with these analytics. 👏
I am a new subscriber. Thank you for articulating the ideas that are running through my head!
This is deep!!
I never looked at The Green Mile that way, thank you for your perspective! Some definite food for thought.
Great Perspective keep Doing what you’re doing . I couldn’t agree with you more .
👨🏾🦲very informative video commentary. Thank you!🫵🏽👊🏾
I also came from Dollermore . Thanks for the Education . I am now a subscriber . Keep up the good work 👏
Here from Dollemore as well. Just took a real quick look at the titles of your vids, have to say I'm very excited. Not the average run of the mill reaction stuff, but some really interesting titles, and based on this some real thoughtful insights.
Always good to see a conversation about cinethetic racism. ❤❤
From David A. Wood: Hello again, fellow UA-camrs! David from Kettering, Ohio is back here. I just want to thank Mr. Garrison Hayes for his alternately entertaining/informative show about "The Magical Negro" trope.Thank you very much, Mr. Hayes, and I am very sorry that I did not mention your name in my previous text. Thanks again and I am sorry for my unintended omission! Goodbye for now and have yourselves a nice Thursday evening (April 11, 2024). Peace Out from Kettering, Ohio for sure this time! ☮️🇺🇸😃👍
Wonderful analysis my brother.
Remember Jack Benny"oh Rochester" coming mr. Benny!
Well thought and well spoken. I am great full for the respect that you showed Mr. Scott. We do not have the luxury of disrespecting each other in front of white people. Well done sir well done! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Excellent work my dear brother. Thank you for your inspiring work!
I've not seen The Green Mile, but i know now that it would upset me beyond imagining. it is the white man's twisted understanding of the pain of the former slave. I'm with you 100% brother. wonderfully informative video.
He wasn't a slave, slavery was abolished about 70 years before the movie takes place. You should watch it though, it's not as simple as he's making it
Uncle Tim Scott
Ambitious; self-interest.
This is such thoughtful analysis. Thank you for sharing. I’ve never thought about the movies you shared in this light, but you’re absolutely correct. Thank you for shining your light, young man. Keep up the fantastic work.
Great video, I just found you in my recommendations and subscribed.
Thank you for your input.
Great video .!!! Tim Scott Has lost is black card Never Vote for GOP .!!!
Tim’s lullaby:
“I wish i may,
I wish I might,
Be as white,
As I am bright.
But life is good,
And it ain’t hard
When you’re hangin’ on
To Trump’s petard.”
I really enjoyed this. First time I’ve come across your content but much to my joy! Good stuff 💯
Mind blowing and amazing!! Keep up the Great work ! TTP✊🏾
This must watch for any American voter. The GOP is such a rats nest of regressive policies and practices.
PS: I think the Matrix deserves an asterisk as IIRC the role of Neo was written with Will Smith in mind. OTOH, two white people making a film about Black freedom fighters might be a whole other discussion.
I am loving your work brother 👊🏿
Absolutely fantastic work
Excellent work, my friend. New subscriber.
Dollemore also recommended. I subbed
Brilliant 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

Incredibly clear, and succinct!
