Actress Bette Midler, who is far from being known for her intelligence, tweeted out a racist remark which suggested some black people, who were attending a Trump rally, were being paid to be there. She topped of her remark using the racial slur “blackground.”
“Look, there are African American men in this shot! How much did he pay them to be ‘blackground?’” Midler tweeted in a caption accompanying the image of the Trump rally.
Midler’s tweet set off a barrage of criticism from twitter users who called her out for her blatant racism.
Political commentator Dave Rubin lectured Midler about how black people may have their own opinions and don’t necessarily prescribe to “group think.”
“Hi Bette. Maybe you’re not aware but some black people think differently than Progressive dogma wants them to think. Black people are individuals like you or me, with a varied set of opinions. Happy to discuss sometime. Loved you in First Wives Club…” Rubin tweeted.
Now that’s racism.
A comment really can’t get much more racist than that.
What IS she known for then, her looks?
Condescending and belittling - but then no one ever accused Midler of having any class......
Midler is one of the most overrated POS in her field. I’ve always thought “shut up” wasn’t good enough for her.
Here large sagging tweets
Projection, projection, projection.
Free stuff is the only way democrats ever win. They have no idea what it means to vote based on principles of what's best for the country now and in the future. So they ask themselves 'why would a black person be at a Trump rally when we have convinced black people that he is racist.'
They have only one trick, so they believe it must be that trick.
That is how projection works. Your vocabulary of available explanations for other people's behavior is limited to your own bad behavior because ... it's all you know.
Bette, having never done anything based on an actual principle, can't fathom anything else. Pity her.
Dunno what she looks like now but that used to be one scary broad.
Pretty close...I have gotten “why did you marry a white woman and not stay in your own race/Polynesian?” from white liberals before.
Perhaps her understudy should handle her tweets.
Bette is PO’d because they left the white ‘RAT plantation.
She and Joy Behar could be sisters. The libs want the rallies shut down. They can’t stand the success and the truth that comes out in these rallies.
She thinks she is entitled to tell black people what to think.
{face palm}
I knew I was exaggerating a bit but it still surprises me that people can be so blazingly stupid. Liberals just keep stepping up to the plate!
No.
Well, she's known for flashing her boobies while on stage "entertaining" a crowd. I wouldn't buy a ticket to see her perform, especially not for her looks!
You mean like "white privilege?" I always wondered what you could use it for.
Bette....who?
In my book she isn’t a has-been...she’s a never-wuz.
