I don’t want anything to do with white people. Lebron James

[Cancel 2020.2]

And you read that as "if you were not raised in a racist family, you cannot be racist"?

Are you really that retarded?

HE isn't, but YOU most certainly appear to be.

I'd fuck Monica and leave a stain on her.

NOT a bad idea!

Your insinuation when you write "it would be similar" implies Lebron does not have that situation and is therefore not racist when he says "I don't want anything to do with white people"

And DON'T forget the mayo.

LeBron said this was his mindset going into high school. If Tom Brady came out today and said his mindset going into high school was I'm not going to F with any black people it likely wouldn't be received the same way. There are many different dynamics involved in the scenarios being discussed but the response wouldn't be the same.

I may be the JPP resident hillbilly but I spent three years leaving near Cleveland when I was a kid. Cleveland was a very racist place back then. Everyone was racist both black and white. I was too young to understand it at the time—I just knew I wanted no part of it.

Maybe Cleveland has changed since then [I would hope] but WV is nothing like that.

*facepalm*

It was his EXPERIENCE at that time in the black community that made him say that. And racists can change.

Quit being retarded.

Then why did he think that I meant that people cannot become racist if they weren't raised in a racist family?

Interesting. I didn't know you had some Ohio roots!

LeBron grew up in a poor single family household in Akron. It's not surprising to me that he didn't have many interactions with white people based on his circumstances. And he was in 8th grade when he said he had these feelings. Like a lot of people, once you get to meet people from different backgrounds and experiences we find out we have a whole lot more in common than not.

Yes. But what you aren't admitting is the different dynamic has cause.

So what? He held racist views and they were his own experience. How does that excuse it when you faggots want to try to claim white people are racists for merely existing (systemic racism)? Why are you people so dishonest? I know you aren't this stupid

I have absolutely NO idea.

[Micawber]

My experience here makes me not want to have anything to do with white republicans.

It excuses nothing, dumbass. I was offering perspective. People change all the time. Going to HS and colleges usually does that.

Well, I was actually born in Pittsburgh but you’re not getting the whole story lol.

I lived in a suburb of Cleveland. Akron is a little to the south and I have some cousins that live near there. Lebron’s attitude as an 8th grader don’t surprise me—from my experience.

And it was absolutely not his fault. As long as he didn’t carry it with him.
