WWE’s Jaxson Ryker says Black Lives Matter is garbage: “realize how good you all actually have it”

There is more heat on WWE Superstar Jaxon Ryder (Chad Lail) today after an old Facebook post was uncovered with his thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement.

The post from July 2019 reads: “Pretty touchy subject but all this black lives matter garbage baffles me. I challenge anyone of any color or race to go watch 12 years a slave, the movie and realize how good you all actually have it. Learn heritage. Christ, Gandhi, Budda; they all Taught love and caring for others. This is getting out of hand. I Pray for this nation daily.”

The post is still up on Ryker’s Facebook feed but after someone posted a screenshot on Twitter, the settings on his feed were changed so that the post could no longer be seen by anyone who is not his Facebook friend.

This comes after Ryker tweeted his support for President Donald Trump amid the protests and riots happening across the country. The tweet caused several wrestlers and many of his followers to react negatively. Scroll down to see the screenshot of his Facebook post from July 2019 and scroll down further to see the tweet from last night with reactions from some wrestlers, including tag team partners Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake.

I’m thankful you posted this because I’m now aware of what you stand for. When black brothers and sisters are crying, you praise someone that refuses to acknowledge their hurt. https://t.co/O4xm5L3Rpl

I’m just keeping him nameless because he’s a sorry ass motherfucker who I refuse to let ride my coattails. He gets no love from me. He gets no rub from me. And if he would like to discuss it in person we have enough mutual acquaintances that he will be able to find me easily. https://t.co/IW25S376L4

Wesley Blake “liked” the following tweets from tag team partner Steve Cutler:

It shouldn’t matter your race or however you identify, we are ALL human beings and ALL deserve to be equal. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

I will never understand, however I Stand. #JusticeforGeorgesFloyd https://t.co/YZLRB5SyJO

$30+ million in settlements to families who’s children were sexually abused by this monster says differently.

The freedom you speak of entitles you to speak your mind all you want. I’m not here to argue that. I just really need to tell you that I think you pushing your shitty wrestling catchphrase as all of this is happening is absolutely fucking pathetic.

Good night. https://t.co/d34xdOXZr6

This braindead milkshake of a tweet reads like you shook your phone and words just fell out randomly.
