re: LeBron lied about racist graffiti at his home last year

Was listening to some radio BS that LeBron has never really screwed up since being a superstar

He hasn’t. And if your idea of a screwup is not getting you to believe someone sprayed graffiti on his property, just lol at your take on morality and ethics

You care why?

1. The graffiti was immediately painted over and was not still visible when police arrived.

Why eliminate the evidence of a crime? If your window was broken and someone broke into your house would you fix the window before the police arrived? Of course not. If you actually wanted the crime scene to help aid in the capture of a perpetrator doesn’t everyone know not to touch evidence at the scene?


Now LeBron said the reason they painted over the slur was so it wouldn’t be visible in the neighborhood, but look at the gate to LeBron’s home, that gate slides open all the way the gate isn’t visible from the road ONCE IT SLIDES OPEN. (The gate is clearly visible from the road when it is not open. Stop sending me these Tweets. Also, read better). The racial slur could have been left on the gate and no one would have even known it happened if LeBron had merely wanted to hide it from the prying eyes of the public.

So why the rush to cover it up with new paint before the police arrived? Doesn’t that seem suspicious? Especially when the police are going to arrive rapidly on the scene and you’re already drawing attention to the home by having police arrive in the first place.

Furthermore, how strange is it that early in the morning there would be the exact right paint available and that someone could be found to paint over the slur before police arrived? Remember, police were called at 6:44 AM. That’s pretty early to go buy paint, find someone to paint over the graffiti, and have the painting complete so that it’s not visible for police.

Remember, we’re talking about a wealthy area of Los Angeles, the police arrive almost immediately after a call like this is made.

2. Why was the $21 million dollar mansion’s surveillance camera not working?

And why was no one else’s surveillance camera able to pick up footage of an alleged perpetrator committing a crime in an incredibly wealthy neighborhood like this?

We’re talking about dozens of surveillance cameras surrounding these homes. LeBron’s home cost over twenty million. Wouldn’t you want to protect the home? Especially if you didn’t live there all year around? Wouldn’t others be protecting their homes too? Why wouldn’t surveillance cameras reveal who did this?

Think about this from LeBron’s perspective — he’s a dad just like I am. If someone is spraypainting racist words on your property, wouldn’t you want that person captured and do everything in your power to make it happen? Hell, if someone vandalized my house in any way and I thought they were threatening my family’s safety, I would spare no expense to have them caught and brought to justice.

Because I’d take it as what it was — a personal attack on my family.

So why isn’t the surveillance camera on and why isn’t the resolution of this case a big deal to LeBron? Why have the police provided no updates at all?

3. Why were there no photos taken by others in the neighborhood?

Los Angeles is an early rising community, particularly in wealthy neighborhoods where many high net work individuals are waking up before sunrise to keep up with east coast companies and the east coast news cycle. Not to mention you want to beat the LA traffic.

We know police were called at 6:44 AM. The sun comes up in Los Angeles at that time of year at 5:30 AM. So we’re talking about well over an hour, potentially two hours, during which this racial slur should have been visible to anyone on the street out walking their dogs, out for a morning jog, just out driving to work early in the morning. Everyone in the neighborhood would know this is LeBron’s house and seeing a racial slur emblazoned on a gate would be incredibly shocking.

In an era when everything goes viral how is it that no one in the neighborhood snapped a photo of the home with a racial slur on it?

As you can see from the above photo LeBron’s gate is clearly visible from the road. Wouldn’t tons of people have driven or walked by this home early in the morning or late at night and seen this racist graffiti?

Wouldn’t there be a single witness who had taken their own photo and put it on social media?

As is the only evidence at all — which has never been released — is a purported photo taken by someone in LeBron’s employment. Remember, neither LeBron nor any of his family were present in the house. So they didn’t see this with their own eyes either.

Even if that photo is released, which, again, it hasn’t been, it proves nothing. The gate was already painted over when the police got there and the surveillance video wasn’t working. A photo, unless it is from several different sources, isn’t usable as evidence because photos are notoriously easy to photoshop.

Why weren’t there multiple independent pictures of this gate? Why didn’t someone, anyone, post a picture on Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, anywhere?

It just doesn’t make sense that there are no witnesses here.

4. If it actually happened, who did this?

Was it actually a racist white person — as everyone in the media immediately assumed — or was it someone trying to draw attention to racism who may well have been black? Hell, could it have even been one of LeBron’s employees trying to draw attention to himself?

What better way to prove how necessary you are to LeBron than to make him think his family might be in danger in Los Angeles?

Remember, LeBron benefited immensely from this fawning media coverage just before the NBA Finals started. I’m not saying LeBron knew anything about this at all — remember he and his family weren’t there — but doesn’t this seem like a story that could be totally manufactured when you look at all the facts?

It just doesn’t add up, particularly not in this climate when fake hate crimes are being uncovered on a daily basis.

Six months after the sports media turned an alleged racial slur painted onto a gate outside LeBron’s gate into the top story in America, there is still zero public evidence it actually happened and the Los Angeles police have provided no public statement about their investigation.

If it did happen then wouldn’t you want to showcase it as an example of said “hateful behavior” That you hope to illuminate and have a dialogue on?

Basically in the first game of the NBA championship white people were sort of chastise to remember their sins. And no one even bothered to question this or else beat seen as a racist
