The Miseducation of Lebron James.
Thy Black Man ^ | May 5, 2021 | Torrance T. Stephens

Posted on 05/06/2021 9:28:51 AM PDT by Lordjazz

Not to get to far ahead of myself, I want to say that this isn’t picking on one individual but rather a mind set promulgated by the most insufficiently well-read of the populous. One of the many books that has informed my inflections on the world insofar as race was concerned was written by Carter G. Woodson. It was titled “The Miseducation of the negro. One the most astonishing passages that I recant goes as follows: “If you can control a man’s thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself. If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one.”

Now I am not raging on any individual but if there was anyone single person that Woodson could throw this disposition upon presently, it would be LeBron James. Now I personally think dude is a kind spirit. I really don’t care about his basketball talent for any man that funds scholarships and starts a school is top shelf in my book.

But if I must keep it one hundred, I can’t get on board with his self-appointed venerated purview of being a spokesman for the totality of the black condition in America. Honestly, I consider such an effrontery on as many in my community refer to as “keeping it real.”

LeBron was raised in the blue part of Ohio, with people smooching his hind end since he was in 6th grade. That’s a recipe for an idiot who is confident in their ignorance.

“White supremacy” and “white privilege” are just ways of black people expressing their self-perceived inferiority.

I say self-perceived, not actual. That negative perception of black people by black people has been inculcated into their minds by decades of victimization propaganda aimed at convincing black people they are incapable of personal or community success.

A significant segment of the black population have taken the propaganda to heart. They believe they are helpless failures, and they believe that of their fellow black neighbors.

So they resort to the embarrassing psychological defense mechanism, which is to blame others for what the blamers themselves deep down believe about themselves.

Every time you hear “white supremacy,” that is a painful cry of belief from someone who believes whites are actually superior.

You just will not hear that from white people, other than the white people with a political agenda which is abjectly cruel and careless toward black people.

LeBron is either a.), a limousine liberal who is posing as a dude who is down with the struggle to assuage his guilt about being rich and not really giving a damn; or he is b.), a simple minded fool. I think the correct answer is “b”.

I hear "white supremacy" and accusations about it from white leftists far more than I hear it from blacks or people of any other skin color. No one hates white people like white liberals do.

Add to that the fact he is semi-literate and has been put on a national pedestal for his court skills since he was a junior in high school. He started getting away with rule breaking as a senior and never looked back. That pedestal has grown exponentially, as has his ego, but his education has not.
He’s rich, he’s famous and he’s ignorant... which makes him dangerous.

Yup. I’ve long thought that their was a collective inferiority complex, and the exploitation of it, behind liberal policies on race and poverty.
