LeBron James apologises for 'Jewish money' Instagram post
BBC News ^ | December 24, 2018

Posted on 12/24/2018 7:17:08 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Basketball star LeBron James has apologised after sharing a lyric about "Jewish money" on social media - saying he thought it was a compliment.

James was called out over the lyric - which comes from a song by US rapper 21 Savage - after he shared it with his 45.8m followers on Instagram.

But James said it was not his intent "to hurt anyone" with Saturday's post.

"Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone," he told sports channel ESPN on Sunday. "That's not why I chose to share that lyric. I always [post lyrics]. That's what I do. I ride in my car, I listen to great music, and that was the byproduct of it.

"So I actually thought it was a compliment, and obviously it wasn't through the lens of a lot of people."

Hey little black teenager. I see that you have a few hundred dollars there that you could invest in your future through education or business. Why don’t you take that money and give it to the Nike Corporation and Lebron James so you can have a couple pieces of leather and rubber that will be in the trash in a few months. Just Do It!

Will he get the same treatment that Mel Gibson got?

Or does he get a Race Privileged pass?

Are those Nike 'Equality' sneakers free? I mean, if it cost $300 dollars some people can't buy it, so it is inequality...

Nike, I demand you to give them out free...

..the Laker organization fell into the abyss signing this guy. Race politics ruined football and basketball—I’ll never watch either again...

I have no use for the NBA at all, stopped watching NFL games when they started spitting on us veterans and so sometimes watch baseball. College sports are my favorites.

“College sports are my favorites.”

Yeah, and they make enough mistakes to make the games interesting. It’s just too bad their goals are to end up in “professional sports!”

If a conservative were to say this they’re been pillared in the media and forced to resign.
