Gotta get folks talking and be relatable, particularly when half the people at your new place of employment probably hate you.


Let me know if im following this correctly.

He actually had an ID on himself but they wanted to make this fake story up about him forgetting his ID so he can be more relatable to the people that work at LSU?

Wouldn't surprise me at all. Makes more sense the guy holding his wallet and reporting for the first day of work not having a valid ID of any kind.

Rich coming from a lunatic that thinks IDs a racist and that Republicans want to defund the police.

1. That’s pretty tinfoil hat of you.

2. I wouldn’t Assume half the staff at LSU hates him.

Forgetting your ID on the first day of work is not relatable to me at all or probably 99% of the people that work at LSU. I guess I wouldnt be surprised if this was a thing considering the sources (LSU and local news).

I can understand forgetting an ID if you took it out of your wallet. Walking out of the house for work without your wallet doesnt happen. Hell, leaving the house to go anywhere in a car without a wallet and keys doesnt happen

Sort of. I didn't have my credit card with me when I went to the bagel shop near my office so I tried to cancel the order when I realized it. She gave me my bagel for free.


Yeah this isnt the same. But glad you had your privilege in tact with you that day after forgetting your CC.

did just the other day. Had taken my billfold out of my pocket and put it in my tennis bag one night while playing tennis, and forgot to get it out when I got home that night.


He said drivers license, not billfold. Tate is clearly holding a wallet in his hands.

Were you just so excited to tell another lie that you overlooked that part?

How many show up with a entourage of school officials and camera’s documenting their first day.

There is also a 0% chance we’re turning away athletes who forgot their ID

All in all, great moment for people obsessed with people being obsessed with race but definitely don’t care about it themselves to get upset.

Everyone else may just see a somewhat humorous event.



Its because this dude pushes crt and that every negative outcome to him is due to racism.

Him forgetting his ID is not his problem. White people did it.

Thats the problem. This dude is clearly privileged beyond the students at his Uni.

I’m still amazed we were able to lure him away from that CEO position at Los Pollos Hermanos

Isn’t it racist to make Black people provide any type of Identification?

People forget their drivers licenses, I've done it multiple times, though it's been a while.

We all do things we don't intend to do. After we do it once we swear we won't again, but we do. Like clicking on your threads.

Oh man you really understand the issue here and your explanation is really poignant.

When you forgot your drivers license did LSU still give you your LSU ID or did they tell you to come back when you have your driver license?

I swear nuance is dead even though it is important most all of the time.
