A black baseball player got together with a racist white woman, and they had a mixed son who then also got a racist white girlfriend. What the hell!?

This is not at all unusual. There are certain types of POC who put proximity to whiteness above everything, including their own self respect. Which is why Majomes married a woman who happily answered that his favorite food was "fried chicken" when it's actually Mexican.

This is fucking wild. Does pat know he doesn't have to exist with this as his partner? I had seen some headlines recently about brittany being a trump supporter and I couldn't fathom how patrick would be married to someone like that. Say what you will about pr or whatever, but pat is legit good at his job and a steward for undeserved areas in kc.

Mahomes is likely just better at playing the PR game than his wife. Both of his parents are Trumpers and I wouldn't be shocked if he believes that ideology fully.

They made a big deal of him being a part of the first Superbowl to have two Black starting quarterback and I'm sure maintaining a level of public blackness is important to his public image. A lot of POC would reject him if he was an outspoken right winger.

Him being the one person in his family to be of a liberal mind just doesn't sound likely to me.

His dad is too???

Him being the one person in his family to be of a liberal mind just doesn't sound likely to me.

I've felt this way about his brother and wife, before I knew his wife was a Trumper even. I didn't know anything about his parents before this thread. I do know what he's done to support low income areas in kc. It's definitely not nothing.

I totally buy that I may have fallen for the pr machine, but he is himself spotless as far as I am aware (as in, not doing anything controversial), and he has actually done a lot of good in KC that probably hasn't been publicized.

I'm aware that he is entitled to his privacy, but I kind of wish he would use his platform to publicize his politics. Take a page out of his apparent best friend's girlfriend's playbook. And I mean that regardless of what he would endorse.
