In Jordan's day interviews weren't that fluffy. They weren't handing Jordan SMILING sexy White gingers with softball "pre-answered" TANGENTS for him to PIGGYBACK OFF OF.
The journalists in 85, 88, 89, 1990 in segregated Chicago were old, rigid, openly-racists, set-in-their-ways, systematic WHITE MEN who did not want to hear what their horse had to say.
Now DEALING WITH THAT.....
.....NAH nikka! THAT'S MY GOAT!!!!

Anyone paying attention know Lebron is the modern evolution of socially conscious superstars like Ali. Since we live in a corporately controlled globalized universe, there are more considerations than in Ali's era, so being fiercely pro black can come with severe financial ramifications. Lebron has recognized this and artfully kept his views understated as to not arouse the anti-black hatred of a country supported by racist apparatuses. Its a tightrope Lebron has walked beautifully, and his powerful response to the Trayon Martin tragedy is evidence that when push comes to shove there's no confusion on where he stands.
Im not looking for an athlete to be a Marcus Garvey/MLK hybrid. Hes a ball player. I just want to know he cares, and considers him to be one of "us". In a way its like the reverse southern strategy, where high profile white men use deceptively demeaning language against people of color, so that their racist base understands they are with "them" without saying so explicitly. Lebron has no problem letting us know he is with "us", and thats a great psychological feeling, and thats all I need to know. I dont see eye to eye with him on everything, but Im proud of him.
