Posse is a racist term now

quote:

Phil Jackson’s description of LeBron James’s business partners as his “posse” in an interview published by ESPN on Monday drew an angry response from James, who took offense at the racial connotation of the word


quote:

“We see the success that we have, but then there is always someone that lets you know how far we still have to go as African-Americans,” James told reporters in Cleveland. “I don’t believe that Phil Jackson would have used that term if he was doing business with someone else and working with another team or if he was working with anybody in sports that was owning a team that wasn’t African-American and had a group of guys around them that didn’t agree with what they did. I don’t think he would have called them a posse. But it just shows how far we have to go. But it won’t stop us from doing what we need to do as a group.”

Did he never watch Bonanza? I thought a posse was a bunch of angry white dudes on horses with guns and torches.


ETA- frick LeBron. Dude has it all and still has to do a "look at me."

Someone needs to tell LeBron what Posse means. I'm sure there is no color mentioned in its definition.

You're not African-American so you're not allowed to have an opinion. Unless you're trans-racial.

Lebron is a big, gaping, hairy posse.

what a joke. Phil Jacksons relationship with MJ and Kobe is well documented. Who cares what Lebron thinks. Moe Rawn.

Is spending the offseason at the beach? Sounds like there's sand in his posse.
