LeVar Burton, the actor who’s best known for his past work in “Reading Rainbow” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” is getting bombarded with angry tweets from Trump fans who have mistaken him for LaVar Ball.
LaVar Ball — the ****** of UCLA basketball player LiAngelo Ball, whom President Donald Trump helped free after he got caught shoplifting in China — has been in a public feud with Trump for the past several days. In particular, the president was incensed that Ball didn’t personally thank him for helping his *** get out of a potential prison sentence.
However, none of this has anything to do with LeVar Burton, the former “Reading Rainbow” host who simply happens to share a first name with LaVar Ball.
As UpRoxx notices, this hasn’t stopped furious Trump supporters from calling LeVar Burton “ungrateful” after they watched interviews of LaVar Ball on CNN and Fox News Tuesday morning.
On Twitter, LeVar Burton responded to a tweet that mistook him for LaVar Ball by calling it “one of the many sleights I am having to endure these days.”

@levarburton you sure don’t do much for the black cause with your unlawful ungrateful parenting skills.
They don't even share the same first name : one his named LaVar, the other is named LeVar. They only share the same skin color...
