All of this. "Back the blue" sentiment and riding only turns out for white "blue." He got thrown under the bus and it serves him right not only for his disgusting behavior and forgetting even though he acts "blue" he's still SEEN as Black (always, even when push doesn't come to shove). It serves him right because that level of stupidity, done ON CAMERA--especially in service to white supremacy--should be shown no mercy. He did what he did, wanted to be blue, first and instead of Black. Well, now, he is ... WAS. Won't be a damned Black person jumping to his defense now that those bus wheels are done with him. Not even those of the Candace Owens and David Clarke, Jr. stripe will look out the rearview to see if he gets up. I don't buy his apology and likely would feel the same way if I did. He WILLFULLY brought all this on himself. There was no gun to his head and he hasn't claimed there was. His free expression had consequences (he clearly thought he was "blue" enough that that wouldn't be true). NO Black person can afford to forget that every action and word has consequences ... and, increasingly, "blue" persons aren't being allowed to forget that, either.
