Bette Midler, like many of her aging star peers, found a new way to get attention: Social Justice Warrioring.
Bette has gotten positive feedback for spreading Hamas propaganda, wishing violence on Conservatives, and making homophobic jokes about our President… so it’s really no surprise she’s jumping on the “WOMEN ARE VICTIMS OF EVIL, EVIL MEN” train.
She went with this:

OOOOOH GURL.
YOU BETTER TREAD LIGHTLY WITH THIS ONE.
First off, there’s the OBVIOUS. She, a woman, is tweeting this from her ENORMOUS mansion. Bette Middler, a woman, hasn’t just ‘survived’ in America – she’s become a multi-millionaire in America. Can you BELIEVE it?! A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN!? Shocking, seeing as we’re all so damn oppressed up in here.
Please explain how, as an individual, you’ve managed to be an exception to all of that here in America, @BetteMidler. pic.twitter.com/ztqPeL10MT

Seriously Bette Midler is tweeting from her mansion in Beverly Hills about how oppressed she is while she has her maid organizing her Jimmy Choo collection. I can’t.

Right. This is the obvious response.
But then, remember – no matter HOW much of a SJW she is – she’s still white. Which on the left means you should probably not say anything that refers to race unless it’s to condemn white people as devils.
Note I used a screenshot for this. Guess why.

OOOOOOHHHHH YOU’RE IN TROUUUUBLE, BETTE.
Nothing like a white woman telling another white woman that her offensive Tweet, which invalidated black suffering, “didn’t invalidate black suffering.”
This is a classic example of whitesplaining.

CLASSIC WHITESPLAINING, Y’ALL.
I guess “whitesplaining” is a thing now?
So then she apologized “FOR REAL” this time.
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.

But it’s too little, too late. People are MAJORLY butthurt.
Your words tonight have wounded me deeply and what makes the wounds worst is that I do not think you fully comprehend their magnitude. Moreover, your attempt at an apology is not sufficient. I hope this excerpt from a piece I wrote will help you learn how to apologize.

I’m sorry, but if freaking Bette Midler’s TWEET can “wound you deeply” you need to re-evaluate your life.
Naw save it! You basically said that because you are a white woman you shouldn’t be treated like us & are shocked to be treated like a n—. Black slaves bore the stepchildren of white women’s husbands, & breastfed yalls babies conceived in marriage and ours conceived in rape!

NO! WE ARE THE ULTIMATE VICTIMS! DO NOT FORGET I AM A BIGGER VICTIM THAN YOU FOREVER!
Eek. This is turning into a dumpster fire.
“I just went all unwoke for a minute there because I was mad.” makes the wokeness sound like a behavior when you’re on your game rather than just how you roll.

Yeeeeahhh… that’s what PC culture is ALWAYS about. Duh.
American’s sins against black women are great and no amount of pretending that such evils didn’t happen will make the stench of racism & misogyny disappear from America’s history or from the minds of black women. #WhitePrivilege

Alright then.
Do not call a grown woman “girl” and do not tell her what to do or how to feel, white man. The audacity of you to *try* to affect an AAVE “tone” while berating a black woman for rightfully calling out racist behavior…now who’s engaging in racist behavior? (The answer is YOU)

These people are a TRIP.
