On Twitter, NBA superstar LeBron James has 45.9 million followers. On Instagram, he has 63.9 million.
He's arguably the most famous athlete in America -- the face of the NBA, who's widely seen as bigger than the game of basketball itself. So to say that James has a massive platform to express his views on important news and race relations would be an understatement.
James' implication is that "we" (i.e. black people) are being "hunted" by another group (presumably white people). Except that's not true -- not even close -- and it has the potential to needlessly inflame racial tensions.

Well, only if they try to get off the plantation ...
LeBron’s people are hunting themselves
Until they relearn self-love, this cycle will continue
Lebron James has the IQ of a cinder block. Given the real stats on race and crime, it’s surprising that the fiction he describes isn’t reality. Yeah, I know, NAXALT, etc. The crime statistics speak for themselves across the entire globe.
Another Black racist, sure are lots of them.
but tell a lie enough times and people (stupid people) will believe it....
James and Obama are about to do a graduation speaking tour this is just narrative building.
Well if you count black on black crime it might be correct.
Totally false. Read the statistics for White-on-Black versus Black-on-White for crimes involving murders/assaults. Even if you don’t adjust for population density, the results are exactly the opposite of what this bozo is trying to sell.
Now you just wait a doggone minute mister! That’s a blatantly cinderblockist statement if ever I’ve heard one! Are you suggesting that cinder blocks are as stupid as Le-Bron?
A reporter needs to ask him about the knock out game...?
He’s a racist SOB
Ignorant and divisive
A slur against all cinder blocks for sure.
This incident is an egregious case and worthy of a death sentence for the killer.
This case is not indicative of society at large and should not be used to paint America as an inherently evil place.
How come this “genius” never mentions THAT?
“blacks hunted every day” I think available data will show blacks are hunted by blacks - often characterized by the numerous “drive by shootings.” You only need to check the every weekend shootings in Chicago.
I’ve observed that if you were to take out black on black homicides of the more populous states that immediately border Canada that are concealed carry (WA, MN, WI, and MI), you would very well likely end up with homicide rates for those states that would be that good bit closer to the national Canadian rate and the neighbouring Canadian province (BC for WA and Ontario for MN, WI, and MI).
You have a point. I was being quite unfair to cinder blocks. Many of them are probably smarter than Lebron James, and I have never seen one of them flop on the ground to draw a foul call.
With this http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3842636/posts in mind I’m almost willing to give Mr Lebron the benefit of some doubt. Appearances have meaning.
