The Hill newspaper has posted an item online that chronicles the sports figures who have clashed with Donald J. Trump.
I am struck, as are you, with the common denominator that stands out. All the celebrities are African-American.
The sports figures — and I use the term “figures” because one of the men mentioned is LaVar Ball, the loudmouth father of a pro basketball player, LiAngelo Ball — all have gotten into beefs with the president, who has taken to Twitter to castigate them.
Is it a mere coincidence that all these individuals are black?
Or … is the president singling out these fellows because of their racial background?
I hate thinking that the president is a racist. The evidence continues to mount that the president’s worst instincts are proving to be so tragically true.
