Bette Midler Disparages Black People Who Attend Trump Rally: ‘How Much Did He Pay Them?’
Defiant America ^ | 7/24/19 | Mack Cogburn

Actress Bette Midler, who is far from being known for her intelligence, tweeted out a racist remark which suggested some black people, who were attending a Trump rally, were being paid to be there. She topped of her remark using the racial slur “blackground.”

“Look, there are African American men in this shot! How much did he pay them to be ‘blackground?’” Midler tweeted in a caption accompanying the image of the Trump rally.

Midler’s tweet set off a barrage of criticism from twitter users who called her out for her blatant racism.

Political commentator Dave Rubin lectured Midler about how black people may have their own opinions and don’t necessarily prescribe to “group think.”

“Hi Bette. Maybe you’re not aware but some black people think differently than Progressive dogma wants them to think. Black people are individuals like you or me, with a varied set of opinions. Happy to discuss sometime. Loved you in First Wives Club…” Rubin tweeted.

just as people in public aren’t taking a bath in a bathroom, gays in bathhouses aren’t there for bathing.

Black support for Trump, or at least their growing disdain for Dems, is often rooted in a very real resentment of the foreign invasion of this country. While Americans of all stripes lose jobs to foreigners here, blacks can probably see the real impact most. I can’t think of a single field where I see less blacks now, coupled with more Hispanics. Whether it is in low-skilled work (service industries) or government jobs, they’re being replaced very quickly - and they see it very clearly. They know they’ve been dumped for the new, more numerous “minority du jour”, and no longer pay heed to the mantra that they have nowhere else to go.

Correction: I can’t think of a single field where I DON’T see less blacks now, coupled with more Hispanics.

Blactivists are becoming more vocal about removing white women from the list of “preferred minorities” in this country; they see no “historical discrimination” that even comes close to what they endured until 50 years ago, and know that plenty in fact grew up fairly well off (at least by comparison). Race & gender politics have really come back to haunt Dems; far too few blacks (especially men) saw any reason to support Hillary in 2016. In fact, they were key to her losses in PA, MI, WI; I’ll give them credit for that.

It warms my heart, thinking of this hateful pig grinding her teeth in frustration, as Trump enjoys success after success.

There was a woman, whose name I cannot remember, worked on the Bush campaign. She was one of the few people around Bush who was really intelligent, I thought. She came up with this:

THE SOFT BIGOTRY OF LOW EXPECTATIONS.

That is Bette Midler. A Bigot.
