after his house was vandalized.

"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 think back to Emmitt Till’s mom actually. It was one of the first things I thought of. The reason she had an open casket is because she wanted to show the world what he went through as far as a hate crime and being black in America. No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, being black in America is tough. We have a long way to go, for us as a society and for us as African Americans, before we feel equal in America. But my family is safe and that’s what’s important.”

Well if it was a black guy or guys that did it, it's only because they were not given a fair shot by whitey. You should know that.

Remember that time LeBron campaigned with Hillary in Ohio and Trump won by 9 points?

Here is the problem.

Stop being proud or embarrassed by things you aren't even responsible for. Recognise the tribal mentality thoughts from your reptilian brain.

Saw LeBron last night at the St Regis bar in SF. Nobody hating that dude. People adored the guy.

Although, he probably couldn't tell b/c of his 2 security guards blocking anyone from going near him.

Side note, dude totally blew off the couple of Cavs fans trying to get his autograph after he left the place.

Because of bullshite statements like this.

According to Lebron, even when there isn't evidence of racism, its still there. Its just concealed. EVERYONE is racist.

It as one of several types of people most likely:

1) a Cleveland fan trying to get him riled up before the championship series;
2) a Golden State fan trying to distract him;
3) a hoaxer trying to gin up anti-racism furor.

It was probably not a KKK sympathizer/alt-right/neo-nazi.

Like LeBron does not have a security system with cameras at his house.

He probably has security people there in his absence.

This is a fake bullshite tale.

You could always move to the ME or Africa and volunteer to atone for your white sins.
