So a liberal done spraypainted Lebron's house? Maybe not, but if so, I want him or her or it arrested. Most of the modern left wants to assert their beliefs onto others, including children, for their hypocritical and self-contradicting agenda, and that makes them the real fascists.

It's tough being BLACK anywhere
I appreciate the way the NBA allows both players, and coaches to use their platform to respectfully voice their opinions, and concerns on real issues. I feel like it helps ease tension and even if you disagree it helps start a conversation. It also gives a face to the sensitive "issues" that may not ever be discussed. Unlike the NFL that puts profits over everything while simultaneously condemning the people speaking out. I am not a LeBron fan but I appreciate him addressing the racism, and hate that he and his family experienced first hand. The racism, and hate that is encouraged by a man that holds the highest office in the country.

Ethan you overlooked the fact that someone spray painted the n word vandalizing his home. Ignoring it makes worse. And it might not happen to a billionaire the next time it happens. Just spreading the awareness should bring “AMERICANS” together and talk about how we should stop stuff like this from happening. Non America overlooks it thus continues this trend to keep happening.

"Acting like a victim?" Yall shut down anything and anybody else's opinion that makes you feel uncomfortable, he's rich and famous and he's still a victim of racism at his own house, why should he have to leave this country just because he sees problems with it? You just want the status quo, because you dont experience the negative of it
It’s tough because you have no hope and no one can give you hope if people amd your communities are constantly hearing negativity . You’re in America move to a different neighborhood, work two jobs , adopt responsibility and you’ll see you life improve and leave the rats behind .
OK so I respect lebron but let me say this. I have a uncle who is paralyzed, that is tough. my preachers son died BC he was stepped on by a bull, that is tough. let me tell you this..... LIFE is tough.
Not surprise
He is what he acts like
Damn they ruined my MANSION being black is tuff
LeBron James is a class act. He just had something happen to him that should not happen to anyone anywhere, let alone in the United States. Whoever painted his gate certainly intended to hide their identity. In spite of all of this, he made comments that were mature and grounded. He must be mad about this and for many reasons. Not only is it racial hatred, who wants someone just outside their property marking up something with paint? In spite of how he must feel, he seems to be handling this in a way you'd expect but maybe from someone much older and more seasoned. I was already a fan of his (hard not to be) but now I respect him even more.
He paid hes son in weed to spray that on their gate

Enrico Palazzo It doesn't matter how much money you get there are still going to be racists out here in America that's just the way it is around here. Also I feel like if someone goes out of there way to write a racial slur on my property I would feel just the way LeBron is feeling he is still a black man. So your comment was so stupid. Your opinion though so I won't get triggered LOL
This is amazing to me that this guy would bring up Emmett Till and the way he is playing the victim so hardcore in this interview...So many black people on TV playing the racism card hardcore over this right beside Lebron also over this...All this over the N word...The N word is something new in this country now?...Jewish person gets called the K word are they going to go on TV and compare it to the Holocaust?..HIGHLY doubt it...Every race deals with racial words...Blowing it up like Lebron has done is pretty pathetic...Just another reason to embrace victimhood at the highest degree i guess...Lot of the black community LOVESSSSSSSSS embracing victimhood and LOVE to overexaggerate it...
Lebron did it.
It STINKS
Its bad to a point where i cant even barely say hi to white person but if go into store ill hold the door open for them

He's right
I am so sorry this happened to Lebron. It sickens me to know that this hatred still exists in America today. I am engaged to a black guy and we run into stupid racist idiots from time to time. It will take another 50 years for a lot more of the haters to die off.

You do realize that LeBron James wasn't just born a successful NBA "rich person," correct? That he, you know, had to devout his life to his career and goals? He wasn't handed anything other than genes for his physique. I would actually be quite shocked if your childhood was as difficult as James' earliest years were in Akron, but you are obviously not much of a thinker to begin with.

America, like every other nation on the planet, certainly has its flaws; however, it's still the country that everyone wants to live in because of the opportunities it affords everyone, regardless of color. Name another country where Lebron would make the money he does for tossing a ball into a net? You don't see blacks leaving America for Africa or some other country to better their lives. Until blacks dump that victim mentality that their leaders keep perpetuating, they will always struggle. The Jews, who have a history of being enslaved, are a great people because they refuse to let their past of slavery define them. Their leaders have not allowed them to adopt that victim mentality.
