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.

In post 34, he described his reason for, and method of blog pimping.

He excerpts his blog, so he can make money off the FReepers who want to read the rest. And he doesn’t disclose in advance that it’s a blog, because that would inhibit traffic to his blog, and cut into his profits.

Am I the only one who sees “LiAngelo,” and thinks of Orangejello and Lemonjello?

Whenever I see these names, I think of Shi-thead.

Black males have been stereo-typically portrayed as thieves, especially by other races. When crap like this happens it only reinforces that attitude.

You can bet one thing for sure. Like it or not, American blacks shopping in China will be under increased surveillance. And for good reason it seems.

The name of the site in the source link is FinkleBLOG.

The source link at the end of the excerpt is labeled finkleBLOGGER.

In this case, Mark is working, not blog pimping.

Trump got trolled and fell right into it.

Trump is a honey badger son, when are you going to figure that out?

Agreed. Ball is a racist and the only privilege in America is black entitlement privilege.

Governsleastgovernsbest is blogpimping. I get it, that there is an exception for him, but let’s not pretend he isn’t blog pimping. He’s not being held to the same standards as other FReepers, for whatever reason. He’s posting excerpts here, to draw traffic to his blog. When anyone else does that, it’s blog pimping, and they get harassed unmercifully, often getting chased off FR entirely.

You can keep telling me his blog pimping isn’t really blog pimping, but you and I both know it is.

Why does Scarborough have a tv show? Even Weinstein didn’t KILL his chicks.

I just want to add my support for GLGB; he has been here for years and contributed so much to FR (he watched the morning shows on our behalf, cutting down on the collective nausea ;) and putting a dent on Pepto Bismol sales ;) ).

He has, or had, his own show on public television, discussing politics. He is in no way a blog pimp.

As Mike Gallagher would say, GLGB, “keep fighting the good fight.” ;) And thanks for all of your hard work. :)

Oh Dear Lord...let's not give people ideas, LOL!

Why not name your child something respectable, like Thomas (Thomas Sowell)?

OTOH, wouldn't want to interrupt their downward mobility... /s ;)

Ball is a blatant, in your face, racist.

President Trump has allowed that knucklehead to display to all exactly what he is about.

This is a good thing.

Instead of meekly ignoring such an “issue”, President Trump brings it to the forefront and forces the MSM to cover the subject in a way that does not help the left.

While it goes without saying that almost anything is more important for President Trump to focus on, forcing conversations like these is something that needs to be done.

LaVar Ball being a media whore doesn't hurt Trump. It probably helps him.

I think so too. Listening to talk radio out of Chicago; people agree that Mr. Ball is "out of bounds," so to speak; completely ungrateful. LaVar Ball has probably helped the President more than hurt him, especially in the African-American community, who love their children and would not want them to face a decade in a Chinese jail. Mr. Ball comes across as a complete moron.

It won't happen, but MSNBC should fire Scarborough for this slander of President Trump. I know Morning Joe is an opinion show but what Scarborough said is calling President Trump racist and President Trump is not racist.

Joe, if you can hear a (racist) dog whistle, you're the dog.

On his show today, The Great One, Mark Levin, discussed at length Scarborough’s comments that I reported here.

Mark even mentioned Scarborough’s language blooper that I detected: “There’s racist overtures [sic–overtones?]”

I don’t know if Mark was inspired by my item, though it’s possible because he has cited me before.

I mention this because I think it demonstrates that the stuff I post is often the first out there on the web, and content of interest and importance to FReepers and other conservatives.
