Patrick Patterson is on the hot seat after his comments sent social media into a frenzy.

The Los Angeles Clippers forward married his girlfriend earlier this year, but when one fan saw his wife, he questioned him on it. This one fan basically stated that if he had never made it to the NBA, the woman in question would’ve never married him.

Paterson fired back with the ‘love is love’ answer, but the fan kept going, telling him that he grew up loving Black women and stated the White woman he married would’ve never looked his way if had been working at Walmart.

That’s when Patterson referred to settle for Black Women by calling them ‘bulldogs.”

Patrick Patterson is in hot water after he responded to a fan on Instagram who suggested that Patrick wouldn’t have a chance with his white wife if he wasn’t in the NBA. Patrick responded by calling black women bulldogs to which he later apologized.

It all started when Patterson posted a photo of his wife Sarah Nasser, wishing her a Happy Anniversary when a fan replied about his choice in women. The fan questioned why he waited until he got money to start dating white women, and insinuated if he worked in Walmart he wouldn’t have a chance with his wife.

He wrote, “So I should settle for a bulldog and act like I’m happy with my life and preach ‘keep it in your race’ to the world as if Dr. King didn’t fight/die for equality, acceptance, all cultures loving one another, and no hate? “No thanks,” continued the 30-year-old basketball player. “That maybe your life but I don’t want that for mine or my family. Color doesn’t matter. Wake up.”
