LeBron James Posts Anti-Semitic Song Lyrics on Instagram - Will He Walk Free?
25 December 2018 | Vanity

Posted on 12/25/2018 12:11:15 AM PST by zeestephen

Two days ago LeBron James posted a rap song lyric about "Getting that Jewish money." I did some research. A majority of NBA owners are Jewish. The last two NBA Commissioners were Jewish. LeBron's team, the Los Angeles Lakers, is owned by a Jewish family. In 2014, Donald Stirling, the Jewish owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, was banned from the NBA for life, fined $2.5 million, and forced to sell the team because he made derogatory statements about Black men in a private phone call to his mistress. Will Lebron get the same treatment?

In the political climate which liberals live, some races are more favored while others are looked down upon. But this isn’t racist according to them.

Shirley,you jest. LeBron is too stupid to know any better. It won’t be said out loud but then Stirling couldn’t play like LeBron. He’ll get a complete pass.

“Will Lebron get the same treatment? “

No, Lebron has Black Race Privilege and rules, standards, and laws that apply to others don’t apply to him.

Is the question, “Will he walk free”, a joke, ‘cause it really is quite funny?

Not only will he get a free pass, he will be cheered, as a visionary.

Based on the idiotic things this guy has said in the past, I actually tend to believe his explanation. He is ignorant enough to think the lyric was complimentary.

“At the end of the day, I don’t think a lot of people was educated”- LeBron James on the 2016 election.

Re: “He is ignorant enough to think the lyric was complimentary.”

However, the expression on his face does not exactly say, “I am complimenting you.”

In any event, what would be the plausible innocent context for sending that lyric out to millions of people?

As far as I know, he has never explained, and, more importantly, the MSM has never asked.

I think that it is leftist privilege rather than racial privilege. To leftists, the more you hate conservatives, the better you are as a person. James hates Trump so much that anything James says or does is fine. But if a conservative black guy had done the same thing, the left would try to destroy him.

Don’t be absurd.

He’ll claim to many concussions, get an attorney and file a law suit against the NBA, settle out of court for a fortune, and it will be forgiven...
