This goes beyond first-world issues.

ESPN’s Ryan Clark claims that he has been the victim of constant “Musically Profiling” and says that more often than not, when he enters an Uber, the driver will play rap music. He implies this is because of the color of his skin. It’s unclear if he realizes that many, many people in this country enjoy this genre of music, but when I say this goes beyond first-world issues, this means he has zero problems. None. That is why he’s forced to make them up.

According to Hip-Hop Vibe:

Ryan Clark has never been afraid to mix humor with social commentary, but even he may not have expected an Uber ride to set off one of his most widely debated moments of the year. In a clip posted by @DailyLoud, the ESPN analyst recounts a Sunday trip where the driver switched from light pop to Tupac the moment he stepped inside. Clark says the car initially had something mild and generic playing, but as soon as he said hello, the driver changed the station without asking. That snap decision launched Clark’s accusation of “musical profiling,” a phrase he used to describe what he felt was an assumption about his taste based solely on appearance.

The mind of a wannabe victim is a very unserious place.

In the video, Clark walks viewers through the exact playlist the driver cycled through. First came “All Eyez on Me,” which immediately raised his suspicion — not because he dislikes Tupac, but because he said it was not even a song he would have selected from the album. Then came “Many Men,” followed by “Stay Schemin,” and, finally, Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” That last track, a massive hit rooted in cultural tension and provocation, became the point where Clark felt the theme was too obvious to ignore. He joked that the driver had decided “this is the music these guys like,” lumping him into a stereotype he rejected.

Aren’t these popular songs? Call me crazy, but he could have requested the driver play something more racially ambiguous, not that that’s even a thing in music, but I digress.

He has since spoken out regarding this rant, claiming he was joking. It’s unclear how this is funny, and it’s unclear where the joke is, but you can draw your own conclusions.

We currently live in a country where people who are very well off will find anything to pretend to be a victim for attention. This is the real issue at hand, and as said, it goes beyond first word problems. To call this man an entitled brat would be an understatement at this point.
