LeBron James took to Twitter Saturday evening to express his sadness and anger over the events that took place earlier in the day in Charlottesville, Va., as well as criticize President Donald Trump for his poor leadership.

"It's sad what's going on in Charlottesville," LeBron tweeted. "Is this the direction our country is heading? Make America Great Again huh?! He said that."

One 32-year-old woman died and at least 19 more were injured after a car targeted and barreled into a crowd of protesters opposing a racist rally led by white supremacists in Charlottesville on Saturday.

“I have no love for neo-Nazi types, although, it is my impression, that is not altogether accurate here.”

My wife is Japanese. I’m not likely to ally myself with people who regard me as a “race traitor.”

On the other hand, they are right about the racism leveled at white Americans.

Exactly. Obama spent 8 years dividing the country, not Trump!

“They should have been chanting “Black Votes Matter”. It would have been more honest.”

Yes. Most honest would have been a chant of “death to America.”

Just what is needed, political opinions of basketball players who live in a total fantasy world where they’re paid tens of millions to play games.

obama went before the black audience every chance he had, to tell them to keep the riots and rebellion going... he is the instigator and the agitator... he gave them a smile every time they rioted... every time the press “acted stupidly” and every time they called for killing the police... and james goes after Trump???? figures!! they are not too smart.. being tall and playing sports does not make your head THINK before you speak!

Just when, how and who decided everyone who is white is a white supreme? Diana Ross was a supreme... does that make you all one too? oh.. supremacist... is that superior? I’m just not in this new age where you all have decided the white race is something you say is bad. Last I took notice, the worst president in the history of our republic was a black man you all worshiped.. you all overlooked every fault he has and every lie he told.. and every condescending piece he carried around... he was way below his grade... and you all covered for his lack.

Just remember, he was the one who ran this country into the ground... now that Trump is President, the stock market is up.. jobs are up... things look promising to the people, for the first time in years... your guy didn’t quite take us all down... he tried.. but didn’t get it done .. yet!!

You who want to blame the President who is saving our nation, get way under my skin... you who charge another, cover for your own faults... and they are many!! You who twist words and happenings around so you can pin it on the innocent... are guilty as sin!!

Absolutely. That describes The Manchurian Candidate.

FTA: ""It's sad what's going on in Charlottesville," LeBron tweeted.
Sorry, pal. I was with you until you had to add this BS, "Is this the direction our country is heading? Make America Great Again huh?!" Never sell past the closing. If your outraged at swastikas and what the klan stands for, but indifferent towards images of Marx, Che, Mao the hammer and sickle and all that goes with leftist extremism you are either clueless or a flaming hypocrite. And LeBron James is no dummy.

Is racism implicit in the massive disparity between black-on-white violent crime and white-on-black violent crime and does LeBron condemn that as well?
