[@OffHalsted]

nikkas pickin those cowardly route.....

Just hurt them where their money is

Surround Quicken Loans Arena..

Every Basketball Game Til further notice or just Get sum gas trucks and hit it up

Lebron is a entertainer nothing more, nothing less...

Ali had a dedicated army known as the NOI Behind him...

Who gone stand behind bron if he does this?Sholl ain't yall...

Couldn't even honor thanksgiving & christmas boycott I Seen the IG,FB & Twit Pics

alot of white boys on here.

sitting out would show how serious blacks are about equal treatment, we get killed cuz were not respected and we don't have a economy off our own.

Why ask Lebron to do such a big thing and sacrifice his image and money and position if many of us can't take the baby steps?

EDIT: as others mentioned, that's a shyt ton of pressure on one person. This should be a collective effort of some kind, not a one man show.

Exactly. Thats why i mentioned the holiday boycott thread. Cats were legit upset about the mere concept of it. If you arent willing to do sumthing as small as keep your money in your pocket for 1 day, then you dont have the right to get mad if another person doesnt take action

"Equal treatment" will NEVER happen no matter what we do. That phrase shouldnt even be in our vocabulary anymore. We need separation. Our own. As long as we're co-habitating with whites we will never truly be at peace

He's not fukking his money up. If he made the sacrifice all nikkas are gonna do is make memes and a trending topic that will fade. I could see if the black community was on fire and we were unified but we aren't. We just make memes and like them and then pretend to be conscious and self aware but most of us aren't about that life. None of us are really about that life in reality. We talk a bunch of shyt online debating back and forth with strangers but how many of us have written letters or started phone drives. How many of you are going to sit out of work until Tamir gets justice? Better yet....why does it have to be justice for Tamir? Why do we always have to wait for someone to die and not get justice to be upset? Why ask Lebron to do such a big thing and sacrifice his image and money and position if many of us can't take the baby steps?

People are looking for a savior without doing anything themselves

LeBron shouldn't do anything and his sitting out will do nothing.
Like someone else said in this thread, stop looking for "leaders" stop looking at "stunts"
The people in Ohio need to start performing "actions" to change their environment.
Maybe that means moving out of the areas they inhabit to more rural areas where they can start their own police forces, electing more than dems who promise them money but people who are civil libertarians.
Hell there is so much they could actually do, but this, this is just pathetic.

 

[Jimi Swagger]

Title should read "If only the people who asked Lebron to sit-out knew their city council and participated in municipal elections as much as they Tweeted or watched the Finals and Reality TV or sat out on their own jobs in protest"

All that voting shyt sound good but politicians sell outChicago for example

Talk what u want to hear but do the complete opposite

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

Stop looking towards celebrities to save us

They've proven time and time again they only care about themselves. It's also asinine to ask LeBron to mess his money up. He's trying to build an empire.

How does his empire benefit us? And why should we support LeBron if he doesn't support us. If he can be beholden to the team owners, his white fans etc then why not us too?

 

[Sterling Archer]

Social media.

 

[NO-BadAzz]

We can have a bigger impact. Stop shopping at their stores. We always want someone else to make the sacrifice. How many Black folk in Cleveland flooded the malls buying holiday gifts? If I remember correctly wasn't there a call to buy Black for the holidays?

We always want to spend other people's money. Collectively let's stop buying from those who don't have our best interest in mind and we can have the same impact as we think LeBron sitting out would have.

Folks don't who saying this shat don't even support HBCUs prolly smh

 

[Savior]

The whole point of Lebron coming back to Cleveland was to rebuild his public image and build his money and public standing up for when he retires but hes gonna ruin all that by sitting out? Lebron's tryin to be the next MJ not the next Ali. Twitter activists got him all the way fukked up

 

[Roland Coltrane]

Can still have the police department under federal investigation, have the officers fired, the DA & prosecutors resigning etc.. Just like in Ferguson and Mizzou with the President...

Nikkas always sittin back talkin about "it won't do nothin, naw it won't help" but continue to bytch and moan while doing nothing themselves

so Lebron sitting out can potentially lead to the Cleveland Police Department being investigated?
