Opinion | Black Lives Matter Poisons a Young Athlete’s MindFrom WSJopinion: “You hear on the news every day that you’re not wanted.” This is how the Black Lives Matter movement translated into the mind of Olympic medalist Noah Lyles, writes Joseph Epstein. opinion Noah Lyles never said BLM poisoned his mind - he said the hate they protested against depressed him Epstein came up with that racist batshit interpretation in his own twisted mind... and printed it opinion lol right buddy. wtf news do you watch?
