JBL didn’t hold back when a fan accused him of being a racist, posting an old montage of JBL in the WWE
Racism has always been a nasty issue that has been ravaging the world. With the advent of social media, there has been a good awareness about this raging issue. However, there is still a long way to go.
WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield aka. JBL recently had a run-in with a fan on Twitter on the grounds of racism.
The fan, probably operating from a burner account, accused JBL of racism posting an old WWE montage of him (JBL) chasing away Mexicans trying to enter the US via. the border (kayfabe).
The fan’s tweet read:
“With all your racist BS??? FVCK the stupid #WWE.”
An irate JBL hit back at the fan, ripping him apart for being offended by an old scripted video:
“Karen said what? Sorry your feelings are hurt by a fictional character snowflake. Please immediately cancel your account and report to nearest adult to find a safe place.”
That one tweet of JBL wasn’t enough to shut the fan up. The fan replied clarifying that he doesn’t watch WWE, and wouldn’t play a racist on TV:
“I don’t watch WWE, I have higher than a 3rd grade education. Is the name of that character also your fucking name? If I wasn’t a racist piece of shit, I sure as hell wouldn’t play one on tv, for people to cheer for, using my own fucking name. You’re human garbage. Just a fact.”
A calm and collected JBL replied:
“If you don’t watch WWE, how do you have a clip of me being the great JBL? Thanks for being a fan. Now find a safe place snowflake.”
JBL who was a WWE regular in the promotion from 1995 to the late 2000s, took on the role of a commentator in the 2010s. He has currently been making sporadic appearances in the promotion.
