Chelsea Clinton doesn't seem to be doing herself or her mother's campaign any favors by popping off on twitter on matters of international celebrity concern. No doubt, she thinks she is.
Just a week or so ago her attack on Bernie Sanders for supposedly wanting to destroy Medicare was seen as unhelpful to her mother's campaign by Democrat insiders. Her claim was even trashed by the liberal Politifact as "mostly false."
On the matter of whether Academy Awards voters were being racist toward black actors and "black" films because none were nominated this years, well, Ms. Rampling was insufficiently sympathetic to the argument that Hollywood has gone all white supremacy-y.
Look at it this way, to win the Democratic Presidential Nomination and then the presidency, Chelsea's mother needs blacks to turn out for her in a big way. Anything the Clintons can do to shore up their bonafides with black voters, no matter how silly and cynical, they'll try it. And if that means accusing an some white old lady actress of being racist, they're happy to do it.
