He meant Spartacus was an articulate Negro. And then he groveled to the race hustlers for being politically incorrect.

Bloomberg ain’t Trump.

[[Bloomberg apologizes after critics say his calling Booker ‘well spoken’ was racist]]

He shoudla said “What do you want me to say? He speaks like an idiot? Would that have satisfied you all?”

Translation: “How flattering! They want to try to be just like us!”

This type of racism is MUCH more damaging than the occasional N word from an idiot.

Booker is a snowflake, and Bloomberg is a Nimrod. Neither of them is POTUS material.

“Booker is not well spoken.”

To be fair, Latin is his first language.

“Only a complete idiot would apologize for referring to another person as “well spoken.”

Respectfully, I disagree, but I’m not black, so...maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about.

Bloomberg could have said that Booker doesn’t speak jive.

Well, he does speak like an idiot, and looking at the poll numbers, apparently all races can agree on that to a large degree.

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,”

He MEANT well, though...!

I’m no Bloomers fan, but what idiocy. He should have answered, “OK fine, Booker can’t speak worth a damn, sounds like a 3rd grader on crack.”

Michael Napoleon Complex Bloomberg had to apologize for the Booger. Did they switch drivers in The Clown Car?

If Bloomberg had 1/10th of what it takes to be a good President, he’d have responded that Booker is well, ahem, hung-up. And buy popcorn stocks in advance.

Nice statue, BTW. Must have been chilly the day of the pose.

(Yes, yes, I know that’s how this sort of art was rendered...)

Maybe he should have said Booker was 'articulate'.

That's a storybook, man!

It was racist. I like it when dems start calling each other racist.

Clean and articulate. The liberals, esp. the black ones, are showing their ignorance of the real English language (not their Ebonics version).

Saying that someone is “well spoken” is a nice compliment. Only the “stupid” don’t know or recognize that. Says a lot about the liberals.

Bloomberg is a coward. In Yiddish we might call him a “feigela”.
