You are correct in this thread. A racist word was sprayed on his gate. He has every right to comment on it. Criticism of him in this instance is unwarranted. Clearly there are still racists in America. Whether or not this instance was done by a racist or to spark outrage is irrelevant. He was asked a question and he answered it. No big deal.

Phonics are the basic reading skills, essentially sounding out words (decoding). It's a necessary component of comprehension but it's not sufficient. It also relies on auditory processing whereas comprehension requires much more fluid reasoning.

It's like telling someone to work on algebra then giving them math facts flashcards.

This happened at his house in L.A. There are only like 3 white people left in L.A. Therefore, my money is on it being someone non-white, maybe a Chicano.

It's sad that a man as blessed as Lebron can't realize that the hate which haunts him is not out there in America...it's in his own heart. He's right that money and fame can't change that; only his will can.

And worse, statements like this from a man of his stature, help foment division and hate between Races. White folk think...that if this man can not overcome his Racial hatred/inclinations...can any?

Nor that Race is a singular reason for hate, or that it is endemic in America. The Hutus and Tutsis were Racial brethren...and slaughtered each other by the hundreds of thousands...just out of Tribal instinct.

Lebron will regret that he made this statement. He should repent, or it'll haunt him for the rest of his life. Now, every time he looks at a White person, they will know what he is thinking.

Live and learn.

Nah, it'll be a 'white Hispanic' so the media can keep driving the narrative

Kobe would have fought the frickers once he found them.

Wouldn't have wasted his time on a statement

I apologize for the rough life Lebron has. He would have been much better off in central Africa. Damn white people

This almost guarantees the vandals were black, almost approaching 100%...

Well, Bron is a bit of a pussy. A teammate was balling him fricking mom for crying out loud and he didn't beat the little bitch down.


Bron = cuck.

Newsflash: racism and other forms of prejudice exist everywhere in the world, always has and always will, and isn't limited to racism against black people.

I kind of feel for LeBron. I think he's a legitimately good guy who wants to have a legacy of being a humanitarian as well as a great basketball player. Unfortunately he's so disconnected from the real world that the only voices in his ear are hyper progressive media types and celebs
