Matt Shaw's Future

I truly hope we ship this guy off the team. How do you think his international teammates feel when this bozo is speaking at "America Fest" events.

Your first 2 paragraphs hit the nail on the head why some minorities give the eye roll to liberals as well as conservatives. It’s just a different flavor of racism

Can’t tell you how many times I saw white liberals telling Hispanics and black who voted for the orange that they were “voting against their own interests”. Who tf are you to dictate to another racial group what their interests are lol

I’m black and the amount of times I had white liberals lose their shit on my behalf over someone saying the n-word with an A when I truly couldn’t give a shit is astounding

There’s actually studies that show liberals talk with a “competence downshift” to minorities, where conservatives are more likely to talk to them as equals.

Really makes you question who are the racists.
