LeBron James says race played role in backlash to his decision

[redzero]

In addition to the stats that are provided, there's also the obvious factor that Dan Gilbert treated LBJ like a slave..

Dan Gilbert wasn't polled. Even if he did treat LeBron like a slave, that's got nothing to do with how everybody else feels about LeBron.

It's kind of ridiculous how you make well thought out posts when talking about everything but LeBron and the Lakers.

They have products for bleeding red? Weird, I always thought bleeding red was normal.

Doesn't it turn burgundy if you wait to long to cleanse yourself?

I definitely think if Brett Favre wasn't black, he wouldn't be as hated as he is.

Black people are bandwagoning front runners who root for the best team, naturally they'd react positively when they see the fellow black man front run and hop on the Heat bandwagon.

If Lebron worked it so he ended up with the Lakers, his coon approval rating woulda jumped from 54 to 99 percent, the other 1% being s in Cleveland.

A Jew talking smack about race? Give me a ing break DOK

Long time ago, God created humans. The humans, under the influence of the one named Satan, chose to do things against God's will. Moving on to the present, what I mean to say is that under the terror of Uncle Hitler, Jews have become easily butthurt and God has abandoned all of the Jews since WWII.

Tbh losing 6 mil of our brethren is a small price to pay to get our own country where we can regulate arabs/towel heads/dune coons.

Why did six million ended up getting skunked and gassed by Uncle Hitler?

So what's the point of the entire holocaust narrative when a Jew like you says that six million of your brethren don't count anyways?

lol not belonging to the Aryan race
lol Nazi experiments
lol buying Israel from the English
lol slaves of the ancient Egyptians

ezau, I didn't know that you were really antisemitic.

Omar, I know the death and subsequent eye-socket ing of your wife has made you doubt in god.

I assure you, god still loves you. He works in mysterious ways, and you will just have to trust him that having your wife commit suicide and have her eye socket get plowed by a necrophiliac is part of his plan.

God bless.

Umm, last I checked, Jews sent my God to the cross and nailed him without mercy.

Cubby, Uncle Hitler's skunker of the Jews was the greatest skunking event of all time. The Spurs' skunker by the Suns simply pales in comparison.

- There is as answer to the doctor's question. All the Dachaus must remain standing. The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buchenwalds, the Auschwitzes--all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the Earth into a graveyard. Into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge, but worst of all, their conscience. And the moment we forget this, the moment we cease to be haunted by its remembrance, then we become the gravediggers. Something to dwell on and remember, not only in the Twilight Zone but wherever men walk God's Earth."

lol as usual, ezau aka deadwifedynasty gets regulated by trying to bring up Holocaust smack.

I don't disagree, bandwagoning is like sickle cell anemia. It's an epidemic that affects all races, but black people more so than any other race.

LeBron playing the "race card" to justify WHY he made his decision is nothing more than a goddamn copout excuse. It's why I hated seeing Jesse Jackson open his mouth to do the same. It tends to spark a slew of negative backlash. The "R" card has become nothing more than an crutch that, when improperly used, tneds to "blur the picture" when "real" issues of race should be exposed and discussed.

As much as I"m embarrassed by its misuse, epsecially in this case, and as much as there is some truth in your points, it's a dangerous thing to make "blanket" statements about an entire race of people. There are always exceptions.

Lebron didn't leave Clevand because of race. He left because he wanted to pursue the shortest, quickest and easiest path toward success. As part of this microwave society we live in, this is further proof that some celebrities and athletes want the money, fame and trappings that come with success. However, they shrivel under the criticism and pressure. It's just easier.

For the record, Lebron has publically come out as a Yankees and Cowboys fan, which makes him a goddamn frontrunner himself. For all we know, he may secretly be a Fakers fan too.

Race is still a serious issue in America.

I admit, I do view a black person differently than someone who is white. It's more a 'my kind, their kind' at ude. I find that I've gotten more tolerant as I've grown older, but the progress is not fast enough for me to have any pride in that.

Two summers ago I was mugged by two people (black) in Franklin, IND. I spent the rest of my time there afraid of men and afraid of African American men in particular. I was aware of this, but my emotions were still getting the best of me. I would often find myself in tears, similar to what happens when I think about the brawl that destroyed the hopes of my Indiana Pacers.

I would flinch walking down the street. I felt the obvious emotional turmoil a crime creates, but I also discovered that when I was pushed to the edge, I had latent tendencies to evaluate solely on skin color.

With the economy as bad as it is here in Hawthorne, IND, I fear I am not the only one who will be subject to a crime that deepens racial tensions. It has made me more vigilant on things like racial issues. I don't want to hand racist tendencies to my future children, and that means we have to even out our society, and do it quickly before we revert to the traditional American view on skin color, as I sadly did 2 summers ago.

You'll have to excuse me, I always feel like a blubbering child when I write on this topic. It's the same way I feel when I write about the Pacers-Pistons brawl that left me in tears of rage.

"Waaaaah, I have race guilt." Get over it, you pussy.
