Not long after making headlines for taking aim at the “old, white men” of the NFL and accusing them of having a “slave mentality”, LeBron James has caused another stir, this time on social media.

The NBA icon posted a photo of himself on Instagram captioned with lyrics from a song by American rapper 21 Savage, writing: “We getting that Jewish money. Everything is Kosher.” The LA Lakers star soon found himself under heavy fire for perpetuating a stereotype about Jewish people.

Host of YouTube show Pittsburgh Sports Live Mike J. Asti wrote on Twitter: “Current NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is Jewish. Former NBA Commissioner David Stern is Jewish. He wouldn’t appreciate it if they quoted offensive lyrics about African-Americans. There can’t be a double standard. Very surprising LeBron would be this dumb.”

Laura Ingraham proved correct.

"Shut up and dribble"

Very surprising LeBron would be this dumb.”

It is???

That would be like being surprised the sun rises in the east.

[Very surprising LeBron would be this dumb]

No.

No it’s not.

Not at all.

From what I’ve seen the NFL owners have more of a slave mentality though it’s not a racial thing. One can’t expect too much mentally from most NBA players who maybe attend 1 year of college (zero for LeBron).

He strikes me as being dumb as a rock. I am surprised he could spell Kosher.

I guess Mike J. Asti doesn't get out much, huh?

Being a great basketball player doesn’t preclude the fact that he is a racist and not very bright.

[Jim Noble]

James prove he is racist, end of subject

What does "racist" mean?

[jospehm20]

I would be surprised to learn he actually attended classes after the 9th grade.

Instagram: for those who can’t think well enough for Twitter.

[Vision]

How can anyone sponsor him after this?

[Salman]

His opinions are entirely unremarkable among African Americans.

And libs act shocked every time this comes up.

[Tax-chick]

There can’t be a double standard.

That would be funny if he's being ironic. If not, what planet is he on?

LeBron James has race privilege, and Adam Silver does not. The fact that we're all expected to lie about it means nothing will change any time soon.

There can’t be a double standard.

Yeah right. The left lives it every day. More like there shouldn’t be a double standard.

[Bullish]

So he's an antisemitic racist too I see.

[TheZMan]

And that “shocked” is pure deflection.

Leftists gonna left.

[SaxxonWoods]

I don’t pay attention to basketball but I know this guy is a racist AND a dumbass. So he’s got that going for him.
