Most importantly, he EDUCATED himself on stuff he did not know
He said some some real c00n shyt when Trayvon died. Like "just because I'm black doesnt mean I have to support Trayvon"
"I won't react to something just because I'm supposed to, just because I'm African-American. That argument doesn't make any sense to me. So we want to advance as a society and as a culture, but, say, if something happens to an African-American, we immediately come to his defense? Yet you want to talk about how far we've progressed as a society? Well, if we've progressed as a society, then you don't jump to somebody's defense just because they're African-American. You sit and listen to the facts just like you would in any other situation, right? So I won't assert myself."
Instead of doubling down in embarrassment after ppl pressed him , Kobe took it personally. He went and met with Tatyvon family and learned what happened . He appeared with the fam in public
