LeVar Ball Is Satirizing Identity Politics (whether He Knows It or Not)
American Thinker.com ^ | November 23, 2017 | Thomas Lifson

Progressives are desperate to Do Something about LaVar Ball, because his publicity bonanza has exacted a high price from the Left. In multiple ways. That’s why they’re playing the race card already, and portraying Trump as in the wrong (as he always must be in their world).

First of all, President Trump is being victimized (as in dissed) after doing a genuine good deed. Every normal human being feels sympathy for him, which leaves the left feeling lonely and angry. But it gets worse. Much worse.

Nobody will admit it, but the performance artist names LaVar Ball is satirizing the very philosophical roots of progressivism. They are the butt of the joke, and they don’t get it yet.

President Trump, we must never forget, was the master of reality television. He understands the dramatic possibilities of a clash of personalities played out on a screen. For two generations, the left has used its mastery of the media to reinforce dramatic narratives unfavorable to their political enemies. President Trump is giving them a taste of their own medicine.

LVB already made a name for himself in the sports media as a publicity hound, but now is into Kardashian territory, purportedly already besieged with offers from reality TV producers. He has become infamous, a household name, because he is a clown, spouting nonsense so stupid that even Chris Cuomo laughs at it.

As dumb as some of the people who post wrong info here on Free Republic confusing an innocent person with the one on the thread.

Poor LeVar Burton is being mistaken for this guy.

People also think that Marilyn Manson just died.

Imagine how you would feel after a neighbor you hate rescued your family from a house fire.

Most people would feel grateful because their love for their family far exceeds any hatred toward the neighbor. Now compare that to Ball’s response.

He hates Trump more than he loves his children.

Being laughed at by Cabana Boi is not an achievement.

I don't think it was the good deed so much as the complaining that they didn't thank him for it afterwards.

Another rage filled black person who has not been able to get beyond the color of his own skin (which is the sustaining cause of why most blacks are just not ready to lead). He thinks about his skin color every day of his miserable life and always will.

Yup. His Ghetto is showing.

Just another ignorant asswipe.

Trump should have left his worthless ass over there.

I’ve got a perfect solution.

Send the budding young thud back to the ChiComs.

It’s not like he’s a productive member of OUR society, after all.

Fairly worthless, completely interchangeable, completely replaceable
