I remember Tamir Rice family wanting Lebron to come out and "make a statement" regarding Tamir rice. For Lebron James to come out and assume the entire burden of that particular situation. The better course of action for that community would be to produce a candidate for DA that will charge the cop and get Lebron to endorse him. You apparently feel nothing makes a difference regardless of what they do, though.


HE DID NOTHING THOUGH
AND PRETENDED HE DIDNT HEAR ABOUT THE MURDER
SO YOUR POST MAKES NO SENSE.

BRON SITTING WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT CAC INDICTED...

CP3 WOULD HAVE STOPPED THE WHOLE PLAYOFFS...

MELO PLAYED FOR FREE IN BRAZIL.

IM NOT TELLING THEM TO SIT NOW.
SHOULD HAVE SAT WHEN THEY HAD THE LEVERAGE.
:devil:

That's presuming Dan Gilbert would in turn place economic pressure on the leadership of the city to make that happen. That's a big reach. I believe Gilbert is going to sell the team to Lebron when Lebron retires. At that point, he'd be able to call more shots than he can today

Black celebs (athletes, rappers,etc) speaking out is a HUGE asset for the black community. This is why they DONT want black athletes speaking on social issues. This is exactly why they push mostly ignorant rappers in the mainstream. They don't want highly influential individuals waking up blacks. Kaepernick is a shining example of this.

I don't think its their responsibility but its a great weapon if they do


Just talking about it won't change the issues.



We been talking about social issues.

:deadmanny:@ da notion of Bron sittin out a fukkin basketball game havin da powa to get a police officer indicted for murder.

It really is a good thing dese nikkas are just random crab ass keyboard warriors and not actually bout dat activist life because from da kinda supreme idiocy demonstrated in dis thread alone dey'd end up leadin nikkas to thier slaughter.

Kaep basically showed athletes (especially ones in the position of a lebron) that all that talking does nothing. It's been done a zillion times. At the end of the day it's just words, there's no action behind it....till Kaep took that knee. He chose to do something other than "we have to do better as a country".

I've never been of fan of making speeches, praying and marching. At the end of the day, that shyt looks cute for a few hrs and then it's back to the bullshyt. You have to really make these racist cocksuckers completely uncomfortable and that isn't gonna happen with a "hey audience....we need to better ourselves to make this nation better" speeches. I hope to see more athletes, especially the big name ones do more than just talk. With great power, comes great responsibility. Use that shyt.

To be clear, I believe for Lebron to make the maximum amount of impact in NE Ohio, it would be to make the maximum amount of money he can during his prime earning years (right now) and then distribute it upon retirement through jobs and investment. This thread is obviously about Lebron and we don't know that much comparatively about Paul Wade & Melo. They may just play out their career, leave wealth to their kids & die. Lebron obviously has grandiose plans post retirement that requires him to see his career through. Lebron is rich and he's an economic generator in Cleveland, Ohio but he doesn't have the clout (yet) to call shots in forcing criminal charges on folks. I bet Dan Gilbert has that clout in Cleveland & Detroit, but Lebron has to get there.

Please tell me you aren't implying that Kaepnernick's protest is linked with black people getting killed.

That's a good point :jbhmm:

I made the same point to my wife last week. I was like folks praying for Kap to be ok. I was like that boy got a life insurance policy with the 49ers and if something happens to him the 49ers are on the hook for 20 mill. Trust this brotha got around the clock security with the 49ers they ain't trying to pay his family millions if something happens to him this season.

But in saying that folks need to pray for regular black folks cause we aint got protection. When these bigots mad they can't get to kap who you think they gonna come for? Us regular black folks.

You know me brotha I have been making similar comments about Obama being in office for years.
