Latest installment in the ongoing saga of Everything’s Racist . . .
Joe Scarborough has asserted that President Trump deployed a racist “dog whistle” when he recently criticized LaVar Ball.
Trump’s beef was that LaVar had refused to give the President any credit for arranging the release of Ball’s son LiAngelo, who along with two other UCLA basketball players had been arrested for shoplifting in China.
According to Scarborough, on today’s Morning Joe:
“There’s racist overtures [sic–overtones?] here. Where the black man was not appreciative of what the white man did for him. And it’s a dog whistle, to say the least.”
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: When asked about Trump’s involvement last Friday by ESPN, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo ball, responded: “Who? What was he over there for? Don’t tell me nothing. Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out.”
President Trump responded on Sunday, quote: “Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal. I should have left them in jail!”
This is our president of the United States of America. Trump followed that up hours later tweeting: “Shoplifting is a very big deal in China, as it should be (5-10 years in jail), but not to father LaVar. Should have gotten his son out during my next trip to China instead. China told them why they were being released. Very ungrateful!”

JOE SCARBOROUGH: It is, there’s racist overtures here, where the black man was not appreciative of what the white man did for him. And it’s a dog whistle, to say the least.
Larry, I am the author of the original article at FinkelBlog. Governs=Finkelstein.
I make no apologies for excerpting the article for the purpose of encouraging people to view the original at FinkelBlog.
After more than 12 years of blogging at NewsBusters and Legal Insurrection, I’ve recently gone out on my own with FinkelBlog.
There have been considerable expenses with constructing the site. I also pay a monthly subscription for a video feed that allows me to create the YouTubes that I insert in my items. There are also ongoing site-hosting costs.
The excerpted form gives FReepers a good idea of what the article is about. If it sounds interesting to them, I’d appreciate them clicking over to FinkelBlog.

He then got picked up by sites willing to to pay him for his work. Now he is on his own trying to make a go of it.
Shame on you for attacking him like this.
