In a promo video released for an upcoming episode of her Netflix talk show, comedian Chelsea Handler “identified” different types of racists for her audience.
One of the types of racists she “identified” was the “black white supremacist.” In other words — “Black people who think white people are better than them.”

And whom did Handler identify as “black white supremacists”? To little surprise, the liberal celebrity used conservative actress Stacey Dash, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, and former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke as examples of her absurd claims.
While Handler’s words were all part of a bit for her show, the sheer ridiculousness and even outrage of what she said seemed lost on her. She’s yet another celebrity so lost in her anti-Trump hysteria that she simply can’t see straight.

Dash, the star of films such as “Clueless,” decided to respond to Handler’s accusation in a post for Young Cons.
“Myself, Ben Carson, Sheriff David Clarke are ‘white supremacists’ in black skin. Is that it? Because we disagree with the liberal, Left agenda — a wealthy liberal celebrity gets to slander a brilliant and famous neurosurgeon, a respected man of the law, and me? There’s an opportunity to invoke white privilege here somewhere, I’m sure. Wait, I forgot, that’s a title exclusive to conservatives only,” wrote Dash.
She continued later, “Maybe read my autobiography and about my childhood of being exposed to drugs, violence, and abuse while growing up in the Bronx. Does that make me ‘black’ enough for you and anyone else who shares this judgmental and simplistic assessment of my beliefs?”

It is strange that it never dawned on Handler how absurd it was for her — a rich white woman — to be preaching to black people about how they “hate” other black people because their beliefs don’t align with hers.
What’s stranger is that all of this is coming from Handler, a woman who previously said she would refuse to interview first lady Melania Trump because she can “barely speak English.” In reality, Mrs. Trump speaks five languages. Handler’s assumption (because it didn’t seem like much of a joke) was based on the fact that Melania Trump has an accent.
Perhaps Handler should have made her own list of different types of racists — “Rich White Liberal Celebrities Who Hate Pesky Non-White People with Opposing Beliefs.”
