    People blow the racism whistle way too often.

    Maybe Lebron just didn't like how W. ran the country? I didn't like it either, and I'm white.

    Maybe, but a lot of the time it deserves to be blown, and never gets blown.

    For instance look at Political candidates and Minister Farrakhan. Every black candidate and often any black public figure involved in politics is asked to denounce Farrakhan.

    White candidates are never asked to denounce Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Brad Schlozman, the racist person appointed by Bush to head the civil rights division of the Justice department, or any of the other figures like that.

    It's seems a little racist. We never hear about it though.

    I think he's only saying Bush because the guy has zero hops. No risk of getting his ass stuffed. Hell, if I wanted to dunk on someone, it'd be Bush, just for the stupid grin I know would be on his face when he fails. course, I'd have to lower the rim a couple of feet but that ain't no problem for Bron.

    Let's review the last couple centuries of history to compare all the things whites and minorities can and can't do, infant.

    So, by your logic, you must be a racist since you wanted a black man to have the swine flu.

    While I applaud your point, using wikipedia as a reference was not the best choice..

    Well put. OP is indeed a racist if he's not black. Otherwise, he's just really mean.

    How does that mean racism?


    How does that even make sense to you? Farrakhan was Obama's minister at one point. No candidate has a personal relationship with Rush or Glenn Beck. denouncing them would makes absolutely no sense.

    As has been mentioned by now, I did not want to list the 70 non-web references listed in that article, but they are abundantly available via that link.
    Cheers.

    This is one of the most ignorant threads I have seen on this site. What lebron said is in no way a racist comment. It sounds like the one who is racist is you. Dnt use someone else's words to justify your own feelings. Straight up the dumbest thread in the history of all forums on the internet.

    LOL. This statement that your 9th grade social studies teacher made after you turned in your homework straight from wikipedia isn't really applicable here, buddy.

    People who are ignorant about wikipedia always assume that just because anybody can edit it, the information in there is not accurate. They don't bother to check that most if not all of the articles there nowadays have non-wikipedia references.
