Only thing Kobe said here that makes even the smallest iota of sense is that we shouldn't jump to someone's defense because of race. That being said, who do you think jumped to your defense during that rape trial Kobe?
And what facts did Kobe need? Even if you want to take race out of the equation, an UNARMED KID was profiled, stalked, and killed for getting an Arizona Tea and a pack of Skittles. Sure he may have had some questionable Facebook photo's but what kid's these days don't? At the end of the day, a mother and father had to bury their son and the person who caused this is free to roam and even profit off this tragedy. I don't see how Kobe can't see this fact and this is where his comments come off as outlandish to me.
