Saquon Barkley’s Trump meet-up riled the racist left — and he won’t accept their shame

The wide near has a expansive consciousness of entitlement erstwhile it comes to dictating achromatic men’s actions and adjacent our thoughts.

Their changeless expectation, freely expressed, is that achromatic men indispensable stay subordinate to a race-centered dogmatic worldview.

The prime of your quality doesn’t substance to them: If you’re a achromatic antheral who thinks for himself, you volition look the wrath of a multi-racial wide conjugation hell-bent connected ridiculing you into submission.

Saquon Barkley, the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning moving back, is conscionable the latest antheral to collide with this grievance-obsessed syndicate.

On Sunday, erstwhile helium chose to play with President Trump the time earlier his team’s scheduled White House solemnisation of their championship, Barkley faced an onslaught of abuse.

While immoderate of his teammates, including backmost Jalen Hurts, gained acclaim for choosing not to attend the accepted White House function, Barkley caught vigor for embracing an accidental to walk one-on-one clip with the president of the United States.

“Disappointing, to accidental the precise least,” scolded erstwhile Eagles information Malcolm Jenkins.

Philadelphia sportswriter Les Bowen dripped with condescension astatine Barkley’s “cluelessness.”

“It’s tricky erstwhile radical successful sports . . . blunder into worldly they don’t afloat grasp,” Bowen whitesplained connected X. “Not a atrocious guy, but retired of his depth.”

“This tegument doesn’t hitch off,” lamented commentator and activistic Keith Boykin, who sniffed that Barkley’s play outing was not “in the champion involvement of achromatic America.”

Boykin adjacent made a excavation astatine Barkley’s biracial family — posting that the Eagles prima “cannot flight oregon erase your blackness by making millions of dollars . . . marrying a achromatic person, oregon adjacent raising biracial children.”

To his credit, Barkley pushed close back, laughingly posting astir the hysterical absorption to his cordial enactment with Trump.

“Lol immoderate radical are truly upset origin I played golfed and flew to the White House with the PRESIDENT,” helium wrote connected X. “Maybe I conscionable respect the office, not a hard conception to understand. Just golfed with Obama not excessively agelong agone . . . Now ya get retired my mentions with each this authorities and person astonishing day.”

It was conscionable a play outing, not an endorsement oregon an look of enactment for Trump.

Yet the nationalist shaming is simply a maneuver we’ve seen repeatedly — viewed arsenic acceptable, adjacent expected, specifically due to the fact that of Barkley’s identity.

He is achromatic and a man, and our demographic is lone tolerated if we’re doing arsenic we’re told.

Recall erstwhile erstwhile President Barack Obama lambasted achromatic men during the 2024 run for our “lack of enthusiasm” astir Kamala Harris.

The infinitesimal we dared to inquire questions astir the Democratic candidate’s competence, Obama transformed into a finger-wagging antheral feminist who implied our autarkic thought was a relic of misogyny.

To the left, it’s precise wide determination are lone 2 types of acceptable achromatic men: those who stay soundless and bash arsenic they’re told, and those who loudly and effeminately support a downtrodden ideology that infantilizes us.

The insults that flew astatine Barkley from anonymous accounts, calling him a “coon” and worse for according adjacent respect to Trump and Obama, indispensable beryllium seen arsenic attempts to power achromatic antheral behavior.

Barkley said thing astir his idiosyncratic politics, but America’s leftists look to deliberation of themselves arsenic hammers — and that immoderate contrary governmental enactment made by a achromatic antheral is simply a nail that requires their force.

Partisans cannot conceive that immoderate idiosyncratic tin take not to instrumentality a side, and partisans of the left-wing assortment judge that thing a achromatic idiosyncratic does indispensable beryllium motivated by radical activism.

That’s the precise explanation of racism.

Barkley committed the cardinal misdeed of radical authorities by not caring astir radical authorities — and for his blasphemy helium indispensable endure the damnation inflicted upon him by our society’s astir race-obsessed.

What the effeminate near doesn’t recognize is that you can’t shame beardown men into apologizing erstwhile they consciousness they did thing wrong, and you can’t guilt them into changing their behaviour to appease strangers.

Just similar I respect Barkley’s determination to conscionable with Trump, I respect Jalen Hurts’ prime to enactment home.

A quality successful their governmental perspectives doesn’t marque either antheral much oregon little black.
