LeVar Burton slams Keith Olbermann for calling Trump a "whiny little Kunta Kinte"

UPROXX

“Yes @realDonaldTrump has always been, will always be, and on the day of his bid for re-election, still is: a whiny little Kunta Kinte,” Olberman wrote this morning in a since-deleted tweet, referring to Burton's Roots slave character, after watching the president on Fox & Friends. Burton tweeted in response: "Dear @KeithOlbermann, #Kunta is pronounced with a long 'u' as in unity, not a short 'u' as in cup. Try again! Love, Kunta." Burton also changed his Twitter profile to Kunta Kinte. Olbermann later apologized after deleting his tweet.
