Charles Blow read the F*** out of Susan Sarandon and he was SPOT ON!!!

[UMTerp01]

Susan Sarandon to me is falling in the same white privilege category as Patricia Arquette was when she made her white feminism speech at the Oscars a couple years ago, and General Hospital actress Nancy Lee Grahn who got scared off twitter for over a month when she tried to come for Viola Davis after her emmy speech. These people and their entitled asses get on my fucking nerves. Charles Blow read her for filth and I loved every second of it!!!

[WhiteTara]

1. what does this mean?

Charles Blow read that heifa for filth and I loved every second of it!!!

[1StrongBlackMan]

38. Translation: ...

Charles Blow called bullshit on her.

[WhiteTara]

44. thanks! I learned something new

[1StrongBlackMan]

45. Mind you ... It was a loose translation ...

If you choose to use UMTerp01's phraseology, next time you go in on someone ... I would highly recommend editing out the "heifer" part ... especially, if applying it to a Black female.

[WhiteTara]

46. I promise never to use that term for

any woman. I can't stand the term "chick" either.

[nichomachus]

2. Shame on Charles Blow

Whoever the fuck he is. Susan has a right to her opinion. Playing the race card against her is just bigoted.

[UMTerp01]

3. How is this playing the race card on her?

n/t

[mcar]

4. Oh my goodness

[Digital Puppy]

6. SMH...

[Number23]

14. As usual, you are posting EXACTLY what I'm thinking

I always get so tickled whenever someone black makes any comment about ANYTHING how it certainly turns into "race baiting" and "playing the race card" from folks. It's just... precious.

Blow didn't say one damn thing about race. He mentions Muslims and refugees but they could be of any race. Not that that EVER seems to matter.

[Starry Messenger]

7. And you are...?

Group host here: let this post in here be your final one, thank you.

[Cha]

20. SS is the one who needs to be ashamed.. @SusanSarandon "Some people believe Donald Trump will bring

the revolution immediately"

Charles Blow wasn't "race baiting".. you got that wrong.

Thank you Charles Blow and Kurt Eichenwald ..

30. Charles Blo

is spot on and this is the African American Group. If you can't handle it leave and delete your comment

[steve2470]

32. No race card whatsoever! WTF nt

[1StrongBlackMan]

39. He's the same guy that DU:Progressives just loved ...

last week, when he went in on HRC ... and the week before that, when he went in on President Obama ... and the week before that, when he wrote something complimentary of Sanders.

And where did he "play the race card."

(I'm still SMDH at DU:progressive's ease in using that phrase on Black folks.)

[JustAnotherGen]

40. The Race Card is a Dodge, Deflect, and Defer

That's used when someone is actually USING it to try to shut black people up.

Often those people are race baiters.

[1StrongBlackMan]

41. Race Baiters??? ... Per DU, that term is reserved to PoC that talk about racial/racism issues.

[JustAnotherGen]

43. Well DU has to come to terms with the fact that it is wrong

That simple.

It's like this (esoteric) when someone lodges something negative at you and that person claims to love you - then they are actually showing that you are bringing up something within them.

Since this has become the 'mantra' at DU - I can only think that the reason it keeps getting thrown at black Liberals and Progressives is because the people that claim to 'love us' don't like having the mirror held up in their face.

[EffieBlack]

48. He's black and he criticized a white person - ergo, he "played the race card."

Got it now?

[1StrongBlackMan]

49. Ahhhh, I see ...

I'm kind of slow sometimes.

[pnwmom]

50. Charles Blow has a right to HIS opinion.

And his opinion, which you couldn't even be bothered to listen to, is that Susan is speaking from a position of white privilege -- of very wealthy white privilege.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

5. Charles nailed it.

[JustAnotherGen]

8. Where was it

I just googled both of their names and found nothing.

[lovemydog]

12. See his video here:

I've now seen the Sarandon video. Had brooklynite not dropped the reference into a thread yesterday I would have missed this entirely. At DU - I have trashed GDP and committed to trashing threads with titles like: Insert Celebrity Endorsement For So and So Here . . . Unless it is finding out who has endorsed Trump or Cruz.

I want to know who I'm giving my money to at the box office and Amazon.

So - I own The Company You Keep and Wall Street 2 - I bought them for Redford and Stone. She won't get another dime of my money.

She is entitled to her opinion (very entitled) but with her talk of Revolution (as my husband calls it the (on edit) Gunny Sack Wearing Shoeless Raw Potato Eating Crowd) - she earned my dismissal.

She could easily bring her net worth down to 2 or 3 million (she's worth 50) and help people now. It begs the question - How much do you really need? How much does someone need who aspires to the Gunny Sack?

[brer cat]

25. Yes!

And kudos to your husband for "Funny Sack Wearing Shoeless Raw Potato Eating Crowd."

[JustAnotherGen]

29. Little update there

Gunny Sack wearing

Pssst - my Avatar and Sig Line have been updated in preparation for the coming revolution!

Waiting . . .

[brer cat]

33. Gunny sack, of course.

Love your new sig line...it is good to be prepared.

[JustAnotherGen]

35. I saw a thread today - about 1/2 an hour ago

In GDP about the Revolution is already under way.

I wanted to thank the poster for the heads up but thought that doing so would be perceived as a personal attack.

[BlueMTexpat]

9. This perhaps?

10. Thank you for the link. nt

[lovemydog]

11. Thank you.

As Charles Blow says, if you support a democratic nominee in the primaries and don't acknowledge that either of them would be far better than any of the republican nominees, we have a problem.

Sarandon makes these comments attacking Hillary from a white privilege perspective. Some Bernie supporters keep repeating right wing talking points against Clinton. That was a factor in my changing from a Bernie supporter to a Clinton supporter. I'm sick of blowhards demonizing Hillary and repeating right wing smears against her.

[Cha]

21. Wow.. thank you, lovemydog~

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. Her activism has turned into something else, and I won't name it here.

[betsuni]

15. I love how he calls Trump "the real estate developer"

Just saw the Sarandon interview. She repeats practically word-for-word stuff on the Internet. If people used their own words this "passion" everyone talks about would be more believable. Less passion, more thinking. She apparently leaned nothing from the 2000 election. Accusing people of being tools for taking large amounts of money from corporations and doing whatever they tell you? Ahem, I've seen "Stepmom."

So the Bush administration didn't wreck America enough for a revolution, but surely a Trump administration will? I see Trump referred to as an "anti-establishment candidate." I don't get it. He's a real estate developer, he IS the "status quo" -- how would he be anti-establishment? I'm all confused. I thought the "revolution" was about getting everyone out to vote. Or was it everybody going to Washington D.C. and protesting? Now it's something else?

(I have a personal problem with people referring to themselves in the third person. Both Trump and Sanders do it. It's bugging me.)

[Chitown Kev]

17. LOL

She repeats practically word-for-word stuff on the Internet.

But we get called low-information voters because we don't but Miss Sarandon brings that tomfoolery.

[Chitown Kev]

16. That is a necessary and FUNDAMENTAL reading for filth

I noticed that he couldn't even say the real estates developer's name, too, placing that accent on the shade

[JustAnotherGen]

19. Was directed to it on Facebook!

Kick and Rec.

He was polite and as respectful as one can be where when responding to a piece of shit used car sales woman.

For anyone not "in the know" - that is a description of people in the public eye that is 'acceptable' at DU as it was used by a member to describe President Obama. If it's good enough for him then it's good enough for her. She doesn't get a pass just because she is a woman - that would be sexist.

[Cha]

22. +1!

Gen

[JustAnotherGen]

23. You saw what I did there?

[Cha]

24. Yes..

[betsuni]

26. +1

[rjsquirrel]

28. Ha! Good one ...

I get it.

And the person who said that about Obama is as dead to me as Ann Coulter.

Of course like her he was always a phony.

[brer cat]

34. I do love you, JAG.

Especially when your stiletto is very sharp.

[JustAnotherGen]

37. Ahem

[rjsquirrel]

27. Susan Sarandon is still alive?

Guess the acting thing hasn't been so good lately.

Well she's dead to me.

She's everything wrong with naive pseudo-Marxist limousine liberalism.

[steve2470]

31. Charles Blow nails it and I agree with him completely

I really really really wish Ms. Sarandon had said "You know, I would really be super disappointed if Senator Sanders didn't become the Democratic nominee, but for the good of the nation, I'd hold my nose and vote for Secretary Clinton". Holding your nose and voting for the less-desired candidate is a time-honored tradition in our country, and, yes, I think Ms. Sarandon needs to do this, like THE REST OF WE RESPONSIBLE Democratic voters.

People staying home and not voting will just give us Trump or Cruz. Not acceptable, in any way shape or form.

[JustAnotherGen]

36. She won't though

She won't retract her statement and we have one person in particular at DU stating that anyone who says that we HEARD and SAW what we saw is a 'liar'.

She's trying to gaslight us.

At least Sarandon won't try that game.

[1StrongBlackMan]

42. LOL ...

Who you gonna believe, DU are your ly'in ass eyes, ears and brain?

[steve2470]

47. yea she probably won't

It's hard to admit you've been wrong (and disastrously so in her case) and admit it in public especially. Ms. Sarandon didn't come right out and say "I'm not going to vote for anyone" but she came pretty damn close to that.

She also should have said very very clearly that she didn't agree with "some people" who think a Trump election would bring about the revolution more quickly (yea right, more like a fascist revolution) and that she would never vote for Trump. She's been in the public eye a long time, and she should know how things can be interpreted.

I will have to go look for the gaslighter.

[Gothmog]

51. I love Charles Blow's comments
