Edit - and Herschel actually retweeted this
And why is that black conservatives cry that we talk about race too much, but the only time they crawl out its to make a controversial statement about race

(42,862 posts)He's very expressive and emotive, isn't he? But, sadly for him, that's no substitute for intelligence or possessing the ability to think rationally and clearly.

(42,862 posts)He's gay... and it's very odd that he'd be supportive of Trump. I guess at his tender age, he's unaware of all that came before and everything that the LGBT community went through and fought for.

(16,161 posts)Ive seen him quite a bit on TikTok. I always thought he was just a self loathing, gay African American Trump supporter. Had no idea of the connection. What a small world.

(8,935 posts)Just inadvertently glanced at the video he put on his Twitter.
As a gay man, let me just say. I have never seen those mannerisms go with that ideology before. That was, uh, interesting. Yikes.

(2,636 posts)what income does this clown have to worry about? it's clear to me that the average moron doesn't understand marginal tax rates at all. He makes several claims that are patently false, and he doesn't realize his privilege comes form his father's ability to entertain his white owners, including the former guy.
I remember reading that Herschel had suffered brain injury from football and his subsequent stint in MMA.

(54,051 posts)I didn't even know what a "running back" was. Misspelled variety of South African antelope? "Roening Bok" or something?
How the hell was I supposed to know? I played guitar and tennis in high school, not football.

(4,443 posts)I could not be more ashamed of what Herschel Walker has become. I'm sure his son does what he does mostly to impress his father, but he's a really nasty piece of work.
I used to have an autographed picture of Herschel from his playing days at Georgia. If it wasn't for the fact that my little sister actually wrote the coach and asked for that picture for me for Christmas, I would have thrown it out. But it's boxed up. I can't bring myself to either throw it out or to display it. I can't listen to any of the classic radio calls or watch the highlights of the 1980 national championship season because HW was key to winning it. I know he was just 18 at the time and the shithead he's turned into was in the future, but I can't take much joy in it anymore.
