Bette Midler Apologizes for Tweeting ‘Women Are the N-Word of the World’
Breitbart ^ | October 6, 2018 | Breitbart News

Bette Midler is apologizing for a tweet that caused a social media backlash when she compared the struggle of women to the history of racism. The singer-actress wrote that women “are the n-word of the world” and “They are the most disrespected creatures on earth.” Midler was quoting the title of a 1972 song written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

Bette Midler✔ @BetteMidler

The too brief investigation of allegations against Kavanaugh infuriated me. Angrily I tweeted w/o thinking my choice of words would be enraging to black women who doubly suffer, both by being women and by being black. I am an ally and stand with you; always have. And I apologize.

Lennon had Yoko...Jagger had Marianne.At least Marianne had some talent.And she wasn’t tough to look at either.

I think he really loved her; I've never seen better proof of that than the picture that was posted in #24 (see above). Near as I can tell, she really loved him too. Good for them. I wish he was alive today; even though he was a pretty typical liberal entertainer, he wasn't an idiot, and might have matured in an interesting way.

I liked Paul's songs more, but he definitely had something.

Apology not accepted. You are the enemy, Bette and your fame will not save you.

I loved her in “Ruthless People”

Was a good movie. But I don't have a need to watch them anymore.

Good thing John Lennon is dead - he wrote the lyric. Can you imagine...what the loonie toons running around in the streets today would say about him ?

Well, her apology is as bad as her original tweet....It is sexist and racist! Being a woman and/or being African American is bad?? Maybe she could issue an apology for her apology.

Yeah, because fatso Middler never got a chance. She should have had to live the life a real enslaved negro woman. OR simply take a trip to a third world $hithole and see how much they will pay her for her screeching.

These weak kneed liberal women are a disgrace to themselves and this country.
