LeBron comes out with statement about race in America
Posted on 5/31/17 at 4:51 pm
Posted on 5/31/17 at 4:51 pm
after his house was vandalized.
"But it just goes to show that race will always be part of the world, part of America. Hate in America, especially for an African-American, is living every day. Even though it’s concealed most of the time, even though people hide their faces and will say things about you and when they see you, they’ll smile in your face, it’s alive every single day.
I think back to Emmitt Till’s mom actually. It was one of the first things I thought of. The reason she had an open casket is because she wanted to show the world what he went through as far as a hate crime and being black in America. No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, being black in America is tough. We have a long way to go, for us as a society and for us as African Americans, before we feel equal in America. But my family is safe and that’s what’s important.”

The white man just keeps doubling down on stupid. I'm ashamed to be a Caucasian today.

He better get his safety pin back out.

Lebron is a bitch.

Remember that time LeBron campaigned with Hillary in Ohio and Trump won by 9 points?

Saw LeBron last night at the St Regis bar in SF. Nobody hating that dude. People adored the guy.
Although, he probably couldn't tell b/c of his 2 security guards blocking anyone from going near him.
Side note, dude totally blew off the couple of Cavs fans trying to get his autograph after he left the place.

Why are pro sports exempt from quotas?

Because of bullshite statements like this.
According to Lebron, even when there isn't evidence of racism, its still there. Its just concealed. EVERYONE is racist.

It as one of several types of people most likely:
1) a Cleveland fan trying to get him riled up before the championship series;
2) a Golden State fan trying to distract him;
3) a hoaxer trying to gin up anti-racism furor.
It was probably not a KKK sympathizer/alt-right/neo-nazi.

Like LeBron does not have a security system with cameras at his house. 
He probably has security people there in his absence.
This is a fake bullshite tale.

I would really like to see the collective exhale and excuse of what happened if it were a black person who wrote it.
Posted on 5/31/17 at 5:10 pm to tigerskin
Yet the whole thing could have been perpetrated by black people to begin with....or hispanic...but no, lets go with the laziest answer...lebron shouldnt prejudge what he knows nothing about.

Race in America:
Groups with statistically significant different mean abilities live in close proximity in a society that pretends to believe in equality, and it doesn't work out very well.
The End

Let us see if it is indeed a white guy who did it.

It lives in you, Lebron
As long as you feel that way it will never die, because it doesn't even have to exist to be "alive"
There are many people that are actually so scared it's dead that they go out of their way keep it alive as a crutch

Regardless of who did it, I'm just so tired of every one of these individual stories immediately jumping to the conclusion that it is definitive proof of the deep racial divide in America rather than coming to the much more obvious conclusion that somewhere in Ohio there exists a single a-hole who thinks that it's okay to damage another person's property. Having your home vandalized does not create a need for a 'statement about race in America' of any kind. A simple call to his local police department should have been the beginning, middle and end of this.
