Did he vote for Biden? Need to know if he's black, or not, before I applaud success.

More like Dr. Uncle Tom.

Next thing you know he'll be teaching his kids that hard work pays off, fathers should stay with their families, and that the government doesn't create wealth...

What a character

Selling kilos of booger sugar is much more glamourous than brain surgery.
And the complete corruption and craven agenda of the MSM in maintaining the party's plantation by not highlighting positive role models but elevating negative ones plays a role too.

All American safety, 2.5 years to graduate, Rhodes Scholar, med school, residency at Harvard. Three cousins played in the NFL also.

The View should be trotting him out there as an example of race not allowing him to succeed. Instead they trot out the corpse of George Floyd.

Proof that white liberals are evil, plain and simple. They love what is evil and hate what is good. They hate stories like this and love to bury them. Black people closing the gap is the greatest threat to their power structure.

Because they aren't questions, they are bait to bring out the racism he assumes we all have.

And titan nailed it. The left, including their propaganda arm, the mainstream media, does not like stories of hard work bringing success. They think success can only come through Big Government.

Rolle, Thomas, Sowell, Watts, etc etc etc threaten that narrative.

Because a black Republican is looked down on by the Democrats. They call him and uncle Tom and say he sold out because he doesn't agree with their politics.

Jay Z tows the liberal line.
Currently a happy listless vessel and deplorable. #FDEMS TRUMP 2024.
Fight Fight Fight.

Here's an ESPN story about him from 2017...

I think it's pretty clear what his politics are. Work, faith, values, two parents: Dude is obviously black-neurosurgeon-Hitler.
Let's go, Brandon!

I;m not sure about that, but he partnered with the Obama White House early on the administration to push education initiatives. And he partnered with Obama's Department of the Interior to introduce physical health initiatives on tribal lands.

And here is where he said he doesn't have many Republican friends...
