I think the decision was actually the best thing to ever happen to bron. That showed him how ruthless these white folks are and how quickly white folks will turn on you over trivial shyt. Dude never got arrested, never been in any kind of trouble and just like that, overnight he became the most hated athlete. That was his nikka wake up call.

I thought the rape case was kobe's eye opening, these cacs ain't loyal moment, but like a true Tom, whenever the massa says "we", kobe still says "we"....that's how you could tell a house negro:mjpls:

Agree 100% except for the bolded. Yes, Uncle Tom was an old submissive man, but he never turned his back on blacks or hurt them. I believe the term youre looking for is Sambo. That was the real c00n.

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.

setting himself to be the GOAT athlete off the court. He's surely on his way there. :salute: to Bron

No, the term I was looking for was Tom.:mjpls:

The master would send tom out in the field to keep the field negro in check. Now we have modern uncle toms. 21st century uncle toms to keep us peaceful and passive. That's Tom keeping you non-violent. It's like if you go to the dentist, and the man is gonna take ya tooth. You gon' fight him when he starts pullin. So they squirt some stuff in ya jaw called novocaine to make you think they not doing anything to you. So ya sit there with all that stuff in ya jaw and you suffer................................peacefully. Any time a basketball player, an all-time great teaches you don't run from the white man, but at the same time don't fight the white man, he's a traitor. To you and me. Don't lay down our life all by itself....no.....preserve yo life. It's the best thing you got. And if you got to give it up. Let it be even stevens.

Amen on everything ou said. Also this is no surprise on what he said. Just look at all the sistas and brotha he does business with and who he has helped put on. Plus remember when he wouldn't run away from the question on whether there was a racial factor in the backlash from his decision to go to Miami. He also posted on twitter all the racist comments folks sent him.

So Bron ain't Jordan at all. Actually he is more like Magic on and off the court in terms of playing style and being a business man.

cosign this post:wow:

I hear you and understand what you saying. My point was neither are cool for us but at the end of the day Tom died cause of Sambo for not whipping ole girl and snitching on other slaves.
