But do you realize how hard it was for him to rise up out of poverty?

Oh wait.

Shouldn't he renounce his unique privilege?

I wonder how many black football players can identify with Jonathan Butler's privilege? How many of us (if we're being honest) can identify with Jonathan Butler's upbringing?

I'd bet very few. You would be in the vast minority (pun intended)

Keep pointing out the stupidity of these SJWs.


Sadly, there is very little Mizzou can do to fix their terrible mistakes so far.

Unbelievable! His dad makes $6 million per year, is worth $20 million, and he tells white people that THEY are privileged.

He got 2 innocent men fired from their prestigious jobs for nothing--wonder how he would feel if his daddy got fired from his $6M dollar job.

This like the guy who used to hang out in front of the Union representing himself as part of the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade. His father was the CEO of what later became known as Entergy. I've often wondered what became of him. He probably took the blue pill and is living in a subdivision in Prairieville, fighting the traffic every day and bitching about it on the OT

Clearly it would be because of systemic racism prevalent in an unfair world.

What does this have to do with anything? The dude had a cause he believed in and did something about it, no matter how weird it might seem to most of us.

It proves "the cause" was a hypocritical scam. The crux of his argument was "privilege." This kid has more privilege then most people could ever dream of

All this Butler bitch is doing is trying to set himself up as the next Al Sharpton/Jessie Jackson.
