"The state of racism will never die, but what we cannot do is allow it to conquer us as people. We can't allow it to divide us," said James, the four-time league MVP. "The guy in control has given people and racism, and negative racism, an opportunity to be out and outspoken without fear. And that's the fearful thing for us because it's with you, and it's around every day. But he's allowed people to come out and just feel confident about doing negative things.

Lebron James is worried about "the guy in control".

Shut up and play LeBron. Nobody cares what you have to say right now.
You can audition for a spot on ESPN later.

" . . . and negative racism,"

As opposed to positive racism?

Did anyone bother to ask Lebron to give examples to back up his Slander toward the President?

"We can't allow it to divide us"

The Left has been using race to divide us for a long time, and the only ones wanting to stop it are those saying "Stop obsessing over race!"

outspoken without fear

The essence of PC is that everyone becomes afraid to speak out and tell the truth. The Left thrives on that kind of silence, but they see it fading away now.

Outspoken without fear? Yes. Trump has given us that.

He's one big man, though.

Back in the good old days, I liked Oscar Robertson.

Lew Alcindor came to our uni to give a talk. He wanted to talk politics. We wanted to hear about basketball.
He was creepy. Same thing here.

"I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense......And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs."
