President Donald Trump is feuding with LaVar Ball and LeVar Burton is taking the hit on Twitter.
Burton is an actor best known for playing Lt. La Forge in "Star Trek" on TV and film and for championing kids' education through the "Reading Rainbow" series. Ball is the father of Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball and UCLA basketball player LiAngelo Ball, one of three student players recently arrested in China for shoplifting.

Some of the president's followers in turn attacked Burton on Twitter, with one calling him a "has been actor with a thief for a son."

I don’t think they are being called racist because they confuse Ball with Burton. They are being called idiots.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Not racost, dumb, because they attacked the wrong person.
To: nickcarraway
The dumbest Trump supporter is still smarter than the smartest Hillary voter.
So there!

LOL - Burton confuses the words slight and sleight while complaining about confusing his name with Ball. Ironic.

Lavar Burton is just as much of a racist as Lavar Ball.

"But are they really Trump supporters doing this?" There are quotes from two apparent Trump supporters (out of some 100 Million) who confused the names on twitter, and the Left is running with it.
Also some Trump-neutral tweets made the same mistake. This is natural, since the names are phonetically similar and LeVar Burton is a familiar name to many.

"But are they really Trump supporters doing this?"One of the tweets being quoted is from an actor who worked on Star Trek with LeVar Burton. It was clearly a joke.

"Burton is an actor best known for playing Lt. La Forge in "Star Trek" on TV and film"
Oh, now I remember him.

This reminds me of the responses elicited from Obama supporters by an impish interviewer. He queried people re: whether they thought Obama was a Keynesian and the responses were hilarious.

Some of the president's followers in turn attacked Burton on Twitter, with one calling him a "has been actor with a thief for a son." How do we know that's not true? Has anyone checked Eian Burton's arrest record?

honest mistake.... they all look alike
To: nickcarraway
Shame on people who mistake “reading rainbow” for “reading is hard”.
