Wow. Bravenak (DU member) going at it with Sarandon!

Came across this on my feed. Some strong feelings there!

https://thedailybanter.com/2017/09/susan-sarandon-sics-her-twitter-bullies/

From the article:

"Susan seems quite out of touch with the realities faced by women of color on the web," Bravenak told the Banter. The incident reminded her of Sarandon's harassment of Dolores Huerta, the United Farm Workers co-founder she got in a shouting match with at the Nevada caucus last year. "Her weaponizing her whiteness and wealth to drive white progressives to attack us shows how removed she is from the daily challenges we face," she continued. "I hope she takes time to self-reflect."

Love her/hate her, Bravenak sure lays it out there.

Wow. Bravenak (DU member) going at it with Sarandon!

1. Excellent response!

65. Bravenak wrote an excellrent poem for Hillary. It's on her twitter feed. I don't know how

240. Here you go...

251. That woman is talented.

458. I follow her on Twitter . I must have missed that. Thanks for the info!

2. Score: Bravenak 1, Sarandon and bullies: 0

8. +1

21. I miss her, too.

37. I miss her also.

50. I am not on Twitter, but I (almost) wish that I were a member.

42. She really has her hands full

48. Bravenak is smart enought to fight a few Sarandons at once.

55. SHE IS BLOCKING THEM...

138. Fighting off bullies?

140. Wrong. Says right in the subtitle that someone "retweets something from a Resistance activist"

142. bingo, exactly right

342. Apparently the personal animosity allows some people to defend the

351. Yes.

445. Which one is the "bitter, nasty woman".

459. The one that was telling people that Trump would "bring on the revolution" without

144. She didn't send Sarandon anything. Sarandon decided to step in

253. Ah right, so it's about not bullying women?

303. Well, SS is not a victim here she was the bully.

333. Either bullying women is ok or it's not ok

347. Bravenak made a meme expressing her views of SS

350. +1

425. +1,000,000

338. Ah, right, the bullying of Bravenak is somehow not about the bullying of women.

340. Ah right, so disagreement means I'm a racist.

341. Defending racist and misogynistic bullies is what you're doing.

365. You're doing a gross disservice to racial equality

409. This is the exact attack that people who get called out defending racists engage in

447. Kentonio , I hate to see you ignore because what is then left is the

369. Don't you know?

443. As is common on DU

444. True dat. nt

359. +1

372. Bravenak started this nonsense.

407. Well, actually, that's not true.

441. That's a hell of a twist on reality.

355. Saradon is a boil upon the arse of humanity. She is an unrepentant Trump supporter...when she

360. +1

379. I despise her ...hope Brave rips her a new one.

146. If you don't know how Twitter works, probably best not to comment n/t

191. If someone puts out a "fuck you" meme with any other person's name

193. Not if the person deserves it, like Sarandon and Trump and Republicans.

207. We know she deserves it, but obviously she wouldn't think so.

224. Agreed..

246. You got that right. nt

278. lol civility is the concern now?

439. It seems they think the white lady...

448. Thank you.

149. Se didn't send it to her...but SS thought it was cool to send her

235. Agreed

237. +1000 (nt)

277. me too, big time.

3. "Weaponizing Her Whiteness"

4. Love her!

5. K&R

6. Bravenak is a true social warrior. She isnt perfect, but she gets it DONE!

121. Who is nt

238. "Getting it done" is way better than perfectionism, IMHO. (nt)

279. +1!

7. She's AWESOME!

9. KNR Thank you!

10. K&R! That's our Bravenak!

11. Interesing...

38. I was following that and wow...some real racists out there

12. Where is she? NT

16. She got booted

18. Wow, I had a feeling it wasn't by choice, but I had no idea why.

23. I'm totally hazy on the details

24. Looks like she's FFR, not actually banned.

25. You're not off base

29. That's actually not true. I have Jewish heritage and was accused of being anti-Semitic, too.

160. Article in the OP talks about another victim who had the same accusation slung at her.

212. Yep there are unreasonable people in every demographic

450. During the election? Have you looked at this thread?

174. In what context?
