Cory Booker slams Bloomberg for calling him a racist slur ("Well spoken")

[pyetro]

"Well spoken".
I wanna take Booker's side here but.
I'm confused.
If Bloomberg says Booker is not well spoken, he would be equally attacked.
Bloomberg says he shouldn't have called Booker 'well-spoken'

 

[TNHarley]

Well spoken is racist now?
America us full of complete idiots.

 

[TNHarley]

And then Bloomberg apologizes?
Lol what a pussy

This is just hilarious. Not all people are well spoken, regardless of their skin color. Biden is a poor speaker. Sanders rambles sometimes. Trump is not a good speaker when he's speaking without a teleprompter. Obama almost stuttered sometimes when he spoke without a teleprompter.

Saying that Booker is "well-spoken" is code for "He sounds White."

How could yinz not know that?

 

[kyzr]

The fact that Cory ran into a burning building to save a woman is enough for me to give him a pass
Mayor Booker saves woman in fire

Yeah, that was back when he was a pretty cool guy. Then he got elected to the Senate and became a radical, partisan shit turd.

Sure. He always calls the White Candidates "Well-Spoken" too, right?

Democrats’ Race Politics Backfire.

“Democrats offer diversity, not competence. But Booker has a point. The experienced white senators are even worse than him and Harris. One’s a crook, one’s a liar, and one’s a commie. They are all socialists, which means they are willing to give you the shirt off your back.”​

Because everyone knows that a negro that speaks anything close to proper English is way out of the norm.

Bloomberg was stereotyping.

Make them live up to their own rules.​

How do you think stereotypes get to be stereotypes?

Booker is presumedly bi-lingual, knowing both White English as well as Jive. He was mayor of Newark, you know

Most of America is post racial. The fact that Cory Booker is "well-spoken" is not a surprise to most Americans. There is no more need to comment on the fact that he is well spoken than there is to point out that he has two legs.

Dimms made their beds.

Yes, well spoken is considered a slur.

Bloomberg is a tool.

 

[Nostra]

What is the alternative to being “well spoken”?

Blithering idiot?

Stuttering moron?

I must admit I would use either of those to describe Spartacus before I would say “well spoken”.
