White House senior adviser Jared Kushner criticized athletes and others who have protested against U.S. racism on social media and basketball courts and suggested that Black people had to want to succeed for policies to change.
I guess we should all forget that Kusher got into Harvard after his dad donated $2.5 million to the school. Kusher's entire life has been boosted by his father's money. He didn't start out from a poor family and got where he is by grit and smarts. No, Kusher has benefited from his background. For him to slam other people for not being born into a wealthy family lands somewhere on the continuum from stupid to racist.
By the way, Trump did the same things for his kids; he made large donations of cash to elite schools, which, by a stunning series of coincidences, all found room for his kids.
Kushner's touting Trump's care for minorities is laughable. Trump's track record of racism goes back nearly fifty years.
Edited to add: After I wrote the above and saved it to the queue, I saw this:
You gotta hand it to Jared. As in, that's the only way he got or did anything ever, someone handed it to him.
