Jordan Myles has been a very hot topic in the world of professional wrestling as of late, because he’s been speaking out against a t-shirt design that Myles said “screams racism.”
Myles has held nothing back, and at one point he even went as far as to call Jay Lethal an Uncle Tom.
Booker T shared his opinion on the situation, and he noted that while he thinks the shirt was ugly, he also thinks Jordan Myles is going about the situation the wrong way.
The WWE Hall of Famer also defended Jay Lethal when he said the following:
“To hear this ‘Uncle Tom’ crap – to call out Jay Lethal’s name? I know Jay Lethal. Jay Lethal has put 20 years in this business so he’s no Uncle Tom. I’ve heard people call me an Uncle Tom and when they do call me that, I wish they would call it me to my face. Don’t do it behind those characters, don’t do it behind social media, don’t do it behind a cloak of anonymity, do it in my face, okay? I will show you what an Uncle Tom really looks like if you do it out in public. My thing is this and I’m going to leave it at that – social media and your business, they don’t go together. That is just my opinion on that. Leave my name out of this crap. Stand with you? Stand behind you? I’m standing way in the back on this one, alright? I tell you, this could have been handled a whole lot different than it was handled. This is not a Colin Kaepernick moment, okay? Let’s just get that straight. If anybody has something to say I am a very easy man to find.”
Jordan Myles responded to Booker T by saying that he respects him, and he also offered to appear on Booker’s podcast.
Yo @BookerT5x I got nothing but respect for you. Have me on the podcast and we can discuss this situation as a whole.

He also responded to a now deleted tweet from a fan when he posted the following:
“Nah. Put respect on Book’s name.. I was emotional on my approach and I could have kept this off the internet, but I was caught in the moment. I chose to go that route and I’ll live with it.”

This ain’t a Kap movement.
This isn’t a Kayne West moment.
This isn’t me being a hater.
This is me being REAL.#ForTheCulture pic.twitter.com/aDEFZyhcZM
