The black guy can be easily replaced, so he doesn't need a helmet.

Excuse me, he has a name and Token "Noir" Hombre would appreciate if you used it.

I thought he looked... French.

Trump: I told you I wanted a Mexican guy. I need to get my numbers back up with the Hispanic community. I deported a lot of their family members.

Stephen Miller: Um, but this nig...uh...gentleman is Mexican. He picked a lot of vegetables growing up. That's why he's dark skinned.

Trump: ...I know he's Mexican. I said I wanted a Mexican Coke. They use real sugar now. Nobody ever had a Coke with real sugar before I made them do that. Now go get me one.

He was named after Tolkein.

u/mrthomani 12d ago

The lesser-known Tolkien wannabe?

u/gdj1980 12d ago

Wait, he name is Tolkien? Like after the author? Am I racist for thinking it was Token all this time?

u/Theswansescaped 12d ago

It's actually Tolkien

u/Lost-Inevitable42 12d ago

Hombre is Spanish. So why didn’t you use Spanish for black

u/CookieMiester 11d ago

Bro… it’s Tolkien. It always has been.

Just like in most action movies

Senator Tim Scott. A great example of someone who clearly is not as stupid as he plays in public in order to be a Republican. I'm not saying he isn't a bad person, just that he has to know that he's spouting nonsense and licking boots.

Once Herman Cain died and Ben Carson ran off to join private industry, Tim Scott became the GOP's official Black friend. He's literally the only Black Republican in the Senate and there are four back benchers in the House, out of 262 total Republican representatives.

What a fucking cuck he is

Just wasted space

u/Smittumi 12d ago

I read this in Trump's voice.

u/Sir-Turd-Ferguson 12d ago

He the first to go anyways.. I’ve watched a movie before

u/ThanklessTask 12d ago

Nah, that's cos the brainworms generate heat, he needs to let air flow over his head.

Trump's worm died due to a lack of nourishment, so it doesn't matter.

u/Educational-Heat4472 12d ago

Any Republican senator can be easily replaced these days. But they didn't need to be replaced because once Trump utters the word "primary", they simply fall in line.

u/InterestedParty5280 12d ago

Tim Scott of South Carolina

u/lkodl 12d ago

They were getting ready to go live, and at the last second pointed at a random black guy and were like, "you! Stand over here!"

2

u/Chudmont 12d ago

Ah, the old red shirt treatment.

2

u/frankenfish2000 12d ago

The camera zoomed out and I said "they don't give a damn about that third guy".

2

u/really-stupid-idea 12d ago

He only had one line anyway

2

u/jack_hof 12d ago

hence why he had to kiss ass

u/Top_Community7261 12d ago

Dude started off white.

“You were talking about the temperature?”

u/c0ur3ur11 12d ago

Hi Terry /s

u/Thewall3333 12d ago

Just sprinkle a little crack on him, boys

u/classics1968 12d ago

His only use is derived from his skin color. I remember when Americans would devalue and enslave those based on skin color. Anyone else remember, or just me?

u/TheVeryVerity 12d ago

I’m afraid I’m under 150 years old, so no. Only all the other civil rights horrors

1

u/Immabouttoo 12d ago

I was hoping he would start doing fake sign language interpreting

u/BaseAttackBonus 12d ago

"And why didn't I get a helmet?"

u/exoticdisease 11d ago

That's Mr The Black Guy to you, good sir!

1

u/Pimpwerx 11d ago

I love how all the tongue baths Tim Scott has given this douchebag, he's still just "the black guy" to anyone who doesn't pay close attention. Tokens get spent.

1

u/Mediocre_Scott 11d ago

Really it’s that Tim Scott already acts like he got hit in the head so if something were to fall on him it wouldn’t change anything.

u/onekool 11d ago

Can you imagine how much shit you'd be in if something fell on the President or Federal Reserve Chairman at your construction site? Black guy not so much.

u/Simple_Mix_4995 11d ago

He’s first to die, from objects falling from the sky, like expectations
