Trump supporters mistake LeVar Burton for LaVar Ball

Reading Rainbow’s LeVar Burton bombarded with tweets from angry Trump fans who think he’s LaVar Ball


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.”

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...

lol poor LaVar, I mean LeVar.

LaVar Ball is a piece of ****. I would've let his *** stay in China. Those were $2000 sunglasses he lifted.

I think they firing squad you for that over there.

LaVar Ball is just like Donald Trump : he likes the media attention and likes to open his big full of **** mouth whenerver he sees a camera or a mic.

 

[meesterperfect]

I think 99.9% of Americans know that Levar Burton is not that other person.
The only thing newsworthy about this is how pathetic American news companies are.
Shirley there are more important things they could ****** Trump with, but they don't.
Keep it dumb, keep it simple....for the dummys and simpletons.
More Anti Trump propaganda to set up master criminal for her next attempt in 2020.

I haven’t seen the exchanges with LeVar Burton but I am guessing that there were “Roots” references made to him.

The dumb ass generation Z snowflakes probably think he is in Jimmy Fallon’s house band.

The racism was to be critical of LaVar Ball to begin with (you know, because he's black), those mouth-breathers couldn't even get their racism right and went after Levar Burton instead.

I think that's what Jose was trying to say.

Speaking of mouth breathers..is that exclusive to conservatives.. the whole breathing out of your mouth thing? Has anyone conducted a study on which ideology has the most mouth breathers?
I would imagine that Maxine Waters and Shia LeBouf use their mouths to breath quite often...

I've never seen both if them in the same room.

What is your IQ and level of education? You don’t exactly come across as a card carrying member of MENSA.

There is not a more needy, clingy and quite frankly uneducated group of people than the Democrat base and it is strictly by design. Only the Democrat elite and ruling class are educated. You fit in nicely with the Democrat base.

This. Muh Obama phone. Most of the democrat base believe if President Trump were impeached, Hillary would be seated as president. And that you can impeach President Trump because you simply don't like him.

Even the educated ones are fucking idiots.

To my eternal shame, I was once a liberal, and they are fucking stupid. Those dumb lights.

fuck the left.

And these stats come from?

And that you can impeach President Trump because you simply don't like him.

That may be a step up from Republicans who felt you could impeach somebody because they had an "unamerican" name :1orglaugh

Even the educated ones are fucking idiots.

Oh goody that would include me On this day of thanksgiving I am thankful to be branded a fucking idiot

Was there a mass movement to impeach Obama because he was named Hussein?

Actually you can impeach a president if you don’t like him since impeachment is a political process.

However if a majority of the electorate don’t agree with impeachment then members of congress could find themselves out of a job.
