I’m not gonna accuse you of having ulterior motives to throw this out there but i have to attack this head on because this is a very insidious accusation. you’ve basically become a liar by excluding context, and i HOPE it’s simply because you didn’t know the context. But that would still not be a great excuse because to make a comment this firmly
I and everyone should expect you to do a Google search first.

You cannot tell me you are aware of the quote then turn around and tell me you turned blind deaf and dumb in regards to its context.

He was on his HBO barbershop show and was talking about as a 14 year old, when he came from the hood and an all black school how he thought white ppl didn’t want anything to do with him so he said he didn’t want anything to do with white ppl either.


Later he says he was wrong and he has best friends that are white.

So how did you have awareness of the quote but no awareness of the context?


It’s maybe because you HEARD about that quote and because it confirmed what you wanted it to confirm you didn’t think to research it more.





Logically speaking do you seriously think LeBron as an adult could say he doesn’t like white ppl and it not be national news 24/7?



This type of context exclusion is why i do not like discussing topics online. Because ppl know the context and will still post this BS knowing it is BS.


Did you know about that Barbershop interview before posting this? I have to tell myself no because the flip side is you did know and still posted this to be a dick, which probably means you just hate LeBron or an even more insidious motivation.



LeBron has plenty to shit on him about. 4-12 in finals isn’t bad but it isn’t good. He flops. He started the superteam era. You don’t have to lie on him to shit on him.
