Lebron James "I believe what Kyrie did caused some harm to a lot of people." Update "He’s not the person that’s being portrayed of him."

Did anyone in this thread actually watch said documentary? Or are y'all just giving the PC answer and generic talking points that everyone else is giving?

Hell, did the offended reporter that initially sparked this watch it? If so what was their reason, if they already had an idea that it was offensive? Same for the others - why did you watch it?

99% of the people talking about this haven’t watched it and never will
I never watched the original birth of a nation or read mein kempf. The people co-signing that stuff is enough for me to know the deal
Problem with Kyrie is he never came back with any counter points from the documentary to give himself a leg to stand on. He probably never watched it either

 

[King Poetic]

Good answer when he was ask what could kyrie do to make things right

I don’t know Kyrie is his own man and he has to figure that shyt out himself

Reporters always want a brother to tell another brother on what he should do to make massa happy

I give lebron a pass, he is the most famous and biggest athlete in the united states, the right wing racists have been trying to trip him up ever since he supported KAP and kneeling and tried to get him on that china stuff but failed, lebron is the model citizen and role model for black men , so i get what he says and its fine.
There is just too much at stake involved when it comes to lebron, there is levels to this. Lebron sounded real and gave kyrie advice.

 

[OG Talk]

Shout it to Bron for having the courage to speak out for this oppressed, powerless and marginalized group of people.

The Jewish community puts out anti-black music/movies every single day

The “woman king” was written by a Jewish white woman

The music community/Hollywood does not represent the Jewish community though

Are Jewish people disproportionately represented in those spaces? Absolutely. everyone knows that

They do not represent their entire community though

 

[old pig]

We have power, the problem is we don't care when it comes to ourselves. Ain't no way in hell a Jewish person walking around with nazi lives matter talking holocaust was a choice and appearing on the Jewish version of the shop

It has been discussed at length how the black community shouldn't give certain individuals/entertainment voices passes. Just because we do for some ridiculous idiotic reasoning doesn't mean other groups should.

We currently have

A semi mainstream rapper repping the KKK
A c00n mainstream rapper saying slavery was a choice
Nothing but death and destruction being aired throughout our community via music
Majority of black television shows are guns drugs etc.

This is our fault for allowing this shyt, we have to take some personal responsibility considering we condone and allow this bs to succeed. It's easy to just blame the jews instead of actually putting in the work to stamp out this bs.

Black people have been complaining about that and the woman king and guess what, it never gets removed. 'we' can't remove it because we don't control the media and it stays because it makes a lot of profit for the people that do. dogs can't speak, but you can't create material that treat dogs the way you can treat black people or else it'll get removed. that material is out there because they want it out there.

 

[R=G]

Have no idea what this Kyrie thing is about...I don't watch tv but it elicits 8 page threads by Bron

 

[Damnshow]

Kyrie needs to strike gold and start his own conspiracy theory show like Jesse Ventura did the very first episode would be about magnets in various sports leagues that change the outcome of games so that a secret mafia that controls sports would keep getting richer. There would be no explanation but why would you need that?

You live in a very small bubble brotha, there has not been a concerted effort by the overwhelming black community to stop that movie. Actors producers, musicians billionaires entertainers etc have not spoken up about stopping that film. Just cause a few nikkas on twitter tweeting about it doesn't mean the black community cares.

 

[bzb]

that shyt is annoying when reporters try to stir the pot fishing for a "gotcha moment". bron did a good job, but he knew it was coming and was prepared. kd wasn't as prepared and almost got dragged into it, ended up having to "clarify" his initial comments. good to see lebron still show some support to kyrie and not throw him in the bushes.

 

[JasoRockStar]

Watch these moonlighting-for-the-Right ass Devils run up in here and start attacking Bron's character.

These fakkits just need to say they don't like the dude and KIM. These flimsy ass reasons and outright lies nikkas conjure up for hating Bron are pathetic. Grown men doing it too.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Ain't it hilarious how all the Black conservatives have made their way over to this side of the board when they're usually stuck on the porch of TLR.

They up in here telling on themselves. If you don't see them post regularly around these parts, well, now you know why they're here.

I know y'all see it.

 

[Dak Pickscott]

Imagine if the media went this hard against Donald Sterling…oh wait.

Ugh Sterling failed upward you dumb buffoon

 

[JasoRockStar]

If any of these nikkas' favorite players did half of what Bron has done for the community they'd be considered pro-black icons

But because Lebron made a statement you don't agree with, he a c00n now?
