Pain and suffering are part of the human condition, unfortunately, and they don't skip over people or target people because of their race. Everyone has something to deal with, and it's not just the black community that has suffered and is suffering. In 2016 the rate of suicides for whites was 18.15 per 100,000. For blacks it was 6.35. That's just one statistic, and I'm not trying to say life is harder for or easier for any group vs another.

That, in fact, is my point. We've gotten to the point at which we've accepted and perpetuated the meme of blacks as victims, and whites as victimizers. Blacks and other minorities suffer, but whites are ‘privileged’. Whites are undeserving of empathy, and are too privileged and oblivious to even begin to understand the plight of those who truly suffer and who do deserve empathy. That's the meme that is pushed. Worse, it's the meme that is believed, by significant numbers of people in our country - and around the world.

What does Lebron James know about what's in Trump's heart? Ironically, because of his celebrity, if James wanted to know more about what Trump thinks and feels, and wanted to have the opportunity to discuss his grievances with Trump, he would very likely just have to pick up the phone and an opportunity would be arranged. That is privilege.

That and the fact it is hard to think up anything more witty given the average NBA player’s intellect.
