Shaun King, a leftist political activist and writer for The Intercept, asserted Monday in response to a Trump tweet that “ungrateful is the new nigger.”
Trump accused LaVar Ball of being “ungrateful” that he was able to get Ball’s son and two other UCLA basketball players out of a Chinese prison after the players were accused of shoplifting.
Shoplifting is a very big deal in China, as it should be (5-10 years in jail), but not to father LaVar. Should have gotten his son out during my next trip to China instead. China told them why they were released. Very ungrateful!
