I didn't read the rest of the responses so maybe somebody already pointed this out, this from a guy who had a Hummer at 17 because he is good at a competitive event almost entirely comprised of black people? America is the worst place on Earth it should be drowned like Atlantis

I don't even get what your point is.

You asked how much money does he have to get to stop being a victim of racism. Then dismiss a crime with a racist insult written on us property as if that's not racism.

Just like Trump is understandably upset about the Kathy Griffin photos, LeBron has the right to be upset about this--maybe even moreso since it was an actual criminal act.

EXACTLY! How much money does America have to give this POS before he is no longer a "victim" of racism? This is racism. Stiffing a server when you're worth millions.


Wow, what an absolute tool he is!!!

As part Native American, I'm still waiting for the white man to give us our land back.

Not that he brought up race, but rather that he indicted an entire nation over it
He didn't indict an entire nation any moreso than criticizing the irrational hatred of Trump, manifested by the Griffin photos, is an indictment on the nation.

There is lots of hateful people, as evidenced by these two incidents. Highlighting that doesn't somehow mean everybody is hateful.

I love how 214 unique Muslim terrorist attacks have "nothing to do with Islam" but this is definitive proof of deep racial divides in America.

And I agree there's a good chance this is "friendly fire"

Simple fact on the issue, race only matters to a racist.

So if it turns out to be a black person that did it, is he an actual victim of racism?

bullshite. You evidently didn't read what he said. Here it is:
quote:

"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 just saw on ESPN that the vandalism was done to his gate. Why does he have a gate/wall to keep undesirables away? That's not very tolerant of him.

Is Lebron a front man for BLM and Antifa? If anyone could get the young Millennial foot soldiers in a froth it is him. He is an icon of their generation.

I'm just saying it is like 99.99% of these "racist attacks". It will turn out to be pure bullshite.

I'll bet money the "attacker" is another Black or this is a look at me stunt by someone associated with James. Yes, I'm saying he might be in on it.

Whoever did it is an idiot but I find some humor it happened in the liberal hotbed of LA.

1) not a written statement
2) video in link sure seems like he's speaking off the cuff
3) your reading comprehension is still really really bad

Funny how LeBron didn't come out with a statement after the 4 black thugs in Chicago tortur3d a special-needs young white man.

You know, since he wants us to know how bad & racist America is.

Well that's true. That will always be bigotry and hate; he said PART though.

It's rightfully highlighted all this time on this board, whether it's antifa, terrorism, or the Portland attacker; bigotry and hate are part of our world.

Why is this such a controversial statement?

Then answer the question I posed earlier: What inferences should I draw about blacks in general after a white woman I know was raped by a black man?
