When the dudes who spray painted his house are black he's going to look stupid for soaking this which he undoubtedly will

I think him being black has helped him live a better life than 99.9% of the people in America.

Life in general sucks. Happy to be a straight white christian male who identifies with my birth given gender with all of the advantages though

I'd let the black panthers light bags of shite on my doorstep whilst calling me cracker everyday for 10 years straight (including Christmas) to live a life a fraction as awesome as Lebron James'.

I am a conservative white male

But I will agree. Lebron, like many other black males, had to grow up without a father in a broken home. That sets a lot of boys up for failure

Now, that being said, it isn't whiteys fault. However, his point stands that as the African American community is currently setup in America, it is tough growing up a black male.

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with Lebron. Being black in America is tough. Black people tend to be poorer, have more health problems, have on average a lower level of education compared to other racial groups. But what's being implied is that all these problems are directly caused by white people.

Spot on. I 100% disagree with the notion that it is the faults of any white people

But it is an undeniable fact that being born a black baby you have the cards stacked against you statiscally

Especially with the crybaby mentality of 99.9% of blacks in America.
