In today’s world liberal plantations have taken the place of slave plantations – albeit to the same effect. Just as overseers targeted slaves who dared to try and leave the slave plantation, so too do today’s liberal plantations target black Americans who dare to leave the liberal plantation.

This problem surfaced yet again this week when The View’s co-host Joy Behar took on the role of liberal plantation overseer by targeting South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, a newly declared GOP presidential candidate and, yes indeed, an African American. Paired with Senator Scott as a Behar target was, but of course, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Said the white liberal Behar of the African-American Scott and Thomas:

He is not pro-choice and he’s one of these guys, he’s like Clarence Thomas – a black Republican who believes in pulling yourself by your bootstraps, rather than, to me, understanding the systemic racism that African Americans face in this country and other minorities. He doesn’t get it, and neither does Clarence, and that’s why they’re Republicans.
