Susan Sarandon dogsplaining racism to a black woman might be the most fucked up Bernie thing ever.

Literally no words..

[mr_lebowski]

1. Black women responding to what she said is not her 'dogsplaining to black women' ...

There's some words for you.

Using one's dog as a literary device in this manner is just implying that something is very obvious.

I'm down on SS as well but unless this was her actual response to a black woman (which your thread does not show) ... let's not make shit up.

[George II]

4. Not only using the dog as a "literary device", but all but saying her dog is more aware....

....than black women.

[mr_lebowski]

6. Is there proof that she was replying to a black person in this manner?

Cause it's not in the OP. There's only people replying to her.

Not saying she didn't, I dunno ... but the OP isn't showing that happening.

[George II]

5. Here is the exact twitter interchange:

7. Your argument makes no sense, sorry ...

That's SS making a tweet, and someone else responding to her tweet.

Not the other way around.

11. In itself, but don't forget this is a continuation of exactly

what they are complaining about. Years of it, actually.

Sanders, bless his heart, is saddled with the history of extremely insulting behavior by many of his followers who took great offense at the AA bloc for their refusal to follow in Sanders' train. No surprise if AAs don't like and haven't forgotten those who acted out their cluelessness and/or antagonism by explaining black issues to them, over and over and over, as if they were too stupid to understand their own interests.

Can't expect that to somehow be forgotten in this "deja vu all over again, and did it ever actually stop?" primary.

Btw, THIS should help understand what was behind much of the acting out that some in Sanders' populist faction became genuinely famous for:

The Personality Trait That Is Ripping America (and the World) Apart: People who are antagonistic resonate more with populist messages

https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/beautiful-minds/the-personality-trait-that-is-ripping-america-and-the-world-apart/

There has been an increasing recognition in psychology that personality traits interact with messaging from leaders. "A crucial skill for politicians is... to speak the 'language of personality'... by identifying and conveying those individual characteristics that are most appealing at a certain time to a particular constituency." They found that voters select politicians whose traits match their own personality. ...

...Perhaps the most important interaction in the world today, however, is that between antagonism and populism. The core feature of populism is an anti-establishment message and a focus on the central importance of the people. The anti-establishment message portrays the political elite as corrupt and evil, and disinterested in the interests of "the pure people." ... the essential divide among populists is "the people versus the powerful."

In a recent series of studies ... the largest and most systematic investigation into the question: What happens when antagonistic citizens receive an anti-establishment message? They found strong support for the notion that the anti-establishment message of populists resonates the most with highly antagonistic people. This finding was confirmed in seven countries across three different continents. Antagonism predicted support for populists for both right-wing ... and left-wing populists.

And so...just don't be surprised as it continues.

17. "In itself, but"

No. Sorry. The premise of this thread is nonsense.

[Hortensis]

21. Just curious if you feel like answering, which of Sanders' factions

would you consider yourself part of? He draws more than just his two main ones of anti-capitalism/socialism types and populists from both right and left. Such as romantics who are drawn by the thought of being part of a great movement.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

22. Sorry. I stopped at "in itself but" that's about all the time I have for this.

So I’ll leave you to it.

[Hortensis]

23. Oh, good. I forgot to include solid Democrats who will

eventually vote happily for our nominee but see supporting Sanders now as a way of stepping up the drumbeat for the whole party. Didn't want to offend you if being a closet Biden supporter, for instance, were to describe you best.

[LanternWaste]

45. Saying a premise is nonsense yet not supporting the allegation is nonsense as well.

[mr_lebowski]

19. I will always be surprised when our side makes up bullshit, sorry ...

Susan Sarandon did not 'dogsplain to black women' ...

'Some black people have taken offense to what Susan Sarandon tweeted' is a proper headline/explanation of the circumstances.

It just is ...

[Hortensis]

24. Sure. Agree a few would and most wouldn't know or care.

But hope Scientific American's article provided a little insight into some of those who're already "enlivening" the debate. I haven't been paying attention to whatever "berniebro" types are colloquially called now, or which candidates some are moving on to, but Sanders has some on staff who are doing just that.

32. Zerlina makes perfect sense.. Thank

you, George.

It doesn't matter who SS is talking to.. her and her little dog have some nerve yapping about "racism" when SS promoted trump.

37. The responses might be a literary device to call Sarandon a female dog nt

[nini]

2. WTF?

Just when I think SS can't get any more disgusting.

Good luck with Black Twitter Susan.

[stonecutter357]

3. susan sarandon should be a registered sex offender for her roll in pritty babby !

[Hortensis]

8. LOL, thanks! My "most fucked up" are all viciously dishonest attacks, tho.

This insults many but doesn't actually slander any individuals.

[obamanut2012]

9. Well, she lectured Dolores Huerta on labor rights

And helping the poor.

It's a feature, not a bug.

[Amimnoch]

14. Damn. Beat me to it.

Was just about to ring that one up again. Never forget.

[still_one]

10. WTF!!! Please tell us rich white lady all about the black experience

[mr_lebowski]

27. This is just silly. In no way was Sarandon doing what you're accusing her of.

I'm not a big fan of SS or Bernie, but this thread is a severe misrepresentation of the facts.

[still_one]

31. Regardless whether the posts in this thread are hyperbolic or not, the fact is Sarandon is a

polarizing figure from her part in trying to influence people not to vote for the Democratic nominee in 2016, and that she does not seem to be aware of that is astonishing

In my view she is more detrimental, and sure as hell won’t help the Sanders campaign beyond his base which is what he needs, and a big reason why Elizabeth Warren is gaining momentum at his expense

[NYMinute]

38. Please try to see it from an African-American perspective nt

[Cha]

44. Well said, NYMinute..

[mcar]

12. ...

[bluedigger]

15. Desperate Kamala Harris supporter (lanny) doesn't understand how tweeting works.

[aidbo]

18. Most of the folks here don't seem to understand how twitter works either so its effective I guess.

[mr_lebowski]

26. I'm really not even that much of a Bernie person, but this thread is a f***ing joke ... (nt)

[Princetonian]

29. I agree. "Desperate" being the operative word.

25. This thread gets more ridiculous by the minute ...

[Zambero]

30. Awww, Susan brought her lap dog!

And a cute one at that. Putin can also rest assured that he has lap dogs right here in the U.S., as featured in the above photo wearing glasses.

[Cha]

46. Good god!

[betsuni]

28. A penny for your thoughts?

Do not want.

[Cha]

35. But penny's so

"smart" according to Sarandon.. she knows all about "racism".

[betsuni]

40. Like the person who said this in 2018:

"I'll be honest with you. I really didn't know this was happening. I had no idea hundreds of thousands of Americans, particularly African Americans, were being held in jail for months or years, even though they've never been convicted of a crime, simply because they can't afford bail. I've learned a lot. I see the racial disparities clearer than ever."

Glad he's evolving and being pulled to the Left on these issues.

[Scurrilous]

33. ...

[yardwork]

34. It's just a game for spoiled entitled Susan.

[myohmy2]

36. more distraction...

...read for yourself what Bernie has to say, you just might agree,

39. Plugging for BS in the darkest moments of his surrogates

(and completely ignoring the gravity of what Sarandon said with white privilege)

[Cha]

48. Thank you!

[Cha]

43. No thanks.

[Tarc]

42. Sarandon, the epitome of white privilege.

Cut her loose, Bernie, she brings nothing to the table for you.

[NurseJackie]

47. She's worthless.
