Scarborough: Trump Criticism of LaVar Ball is Racist “Dog Whistle”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/20/2017 5:21:02 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

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.

I don’t know, MM. I always saw bullies as cowards (after all, bullies only prey on the weak, or those they perceive as weak; and they flee in terror if anyone fights back).

Reminder: If you are hearing a Racist Dog Whistle, you’re the Racist Dog.

I’m pretty sure there are rules for blog pimping here. I think you’re supposed to include the whole thing, and post it in the Blog category, not News. I’m not sure about that, but I do know that the deceptive practice of steering FReepers to your blog so you can make money off us is generally frowned on.

I hear you. My comment was to the effect I do not equate bulliness with courage, though others might.

I think the first thing we learn in the schoolyard should be: bullies are not courageous!

This guy is a hell of a parent....his kid is a thief.....and dad is a total dumb ass.

I guess this jerk would have preferred to let his son rot in jail in China for a decade or so than to have the President of the United States personally intervene to save him from that fate.

What an ungrateful ... won't finish that sentence so as not to get banned.

Mr. President, if you or any of your staff are reading this thread, please know that the dad is an idiot and many, many people appreciate your efforts on behalf of an American, no matter how stupid he may be. ;)

“Joe knows about dog whistles since he pretends to be engaged to skanky old dog Mika.”

Almost word-for-word what I was thinking. With Mika, Joe definitely knows his dogs.

The word “racist” is one of Joe’s most frequent adjectives in describing white conservatives.

Trump got trolled and fell right into it. LaVar Ball is the media whore to end all media whores

You say that as if you think that the combination of LaVar Ball and the (despised) media will turn this into a net negative for Trump.

A majority of people despise the media. LaVar Ball being a media whore doesn't hurt Trump. It probably helps him.

He's been on FR several years before you. He got his start reviewing morning news shows and posting about them here at FR.

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.

The rules for bloggers are the same for everyone else and copyright rules apply. However, some people do get bounced for being blog pimps. Mark is a long time FReeper, not a blog pimp.

That’s what I took away from this story. Blacks are always complaining about “security following me around the store,” then these already-successful, free-ride athletes go to a store in a foreign country and shoplift luxury items they could have afforded to pay for. And then they wonder why... and every Black person who has ever been suspected even though they were 100% innocent MUST be thinking, like Chris Rock, that certain people ruin everything for the rest of them.
