Another day, another shockingly out-of-touch take from The View.

Today, it comes courtesy of Joy Behar. During a segment discussing Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-SC) presidential run and a clip where he said that people want a “positive conservative who has a backbone, but also believes that the best is yet to come,” Behar took the opportunity to lecture the presidential hopeful and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who was not the subject of the segment, about racism.

She said, "[They believe] in pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, rather than understanding the systemic racism that African Americans face in this country.” Behar added, “he doesn’t get it, and neither does Clarence.”

Wow. Does she even know who she is talking about?

Thomas grew up in a small town in Georgia during the era of Jim Crow. He was raised by his grandfather after his father left the family and their house burned down in a fire — leaving them homeless. After excelling academically, he was admitted as the only black student in an all-white seminary in the hopes of becoming a priest. However, he left after becoming increasingly frustrated with the church’s lack of action on civil rights. The straw that broke the camel's back was when he overheard a classmate say, “I hope the S.O.B. dies,” after receiving the news that Martin Luther King Jr. had been shot. The rest of the story is well known: Thomas attended College of the Holy Cross, then Yale Law School, and eventually became a justice on the Supreme Court.

Scott, meanwhile, came from a single-parent home where his mother worked 16-hour days. His family were the descendants of slaves. He frequently tells the story of his grandfather, who had to drop out of school in the third grade in order to pick cotton on his family’s farm. Yet, he proudly says that his family went from “cotton to Congress” in one lifetime.

The idea that these two men simply "don't understand" American racism and that somehow Joy Behar has a better, deeper understanding than they do would be laughable if only she didn’t actually believe it.

It takes a special kind of arrogance to speak in such an infantilizing way about Scott and Thomas. But one should not be surprised, because it is a natural consequence of the new liberal consensus on race. As Columbia University professor and New York Times columnist John McWhorter points out, the words of today’s prominent commentators on race, such as Ibram X. Kendi, Robin DiAngelo, and Ta-Nehisi Coates, are not just read and grappled with, but rather are treated with a type of awe and reverence that one could only find in religion. As such, the prevailing left-wing views on race are felt by many leftists to be received as wisdom from on high. This can have no other endpoint than to see people such as Behar making these kinds of statements.

As one Twitter user correctly pointed out, a conclusion like this really can only come from someone who is thoroughly "blinded by ideology and insulated by a bubble of privileges."

There is no sense from the Left that maybe the life experiences of Scott and Thomas have simply led them to conclusions that diverge in good faith from Behar’s own. There is only a sense of contempt.
