    I didn't watch all of Whitlock's statement but any one who disagrees with its better to be rich and black than poor and black is obviously living on like the moon or something.

    Spray paint can be painted over. Like dude said it's an inconvenience and at worst it shakes his peace of mind a little bit. Trying to compare that ? to Emmitt Till or Trayvon Martin is straight up hyperbole.

    lol Come on bruh, that ? flew way over your head huh.

    He didn't compare anything to Emmitt Till. He said that when he saw what happened, he was reminded of Emmitt Till's mother's reasoning for why she wanted an open casket. He said that because his first instinct was to not comment on what happened, but then he rethought it and realized it was better for people to see the truth.

    And Whitlock is an idiot, and you should really be careful about defending anything he says. Lebron didn't say that his struggle with racism is the same as a poor person's struggle. He only said that money didn't prevent someone from being subject to racism, and even with money, life in America can still be hard for a black person. Explain to me what was wrong about that? Yes, he has the resources to get past racism in a way that poorer people might not, but that doesn't mean, that the racism doesn't exist or doesn't have a real impact.

    I'm not against Lebron at all. What I'm saying is the ? will be fine. We can stop acting like this is a crime against humanity because somebody spray painted his second house.

    If his name wasn't Lebron James this wouldn't even be that big of a story.

    I said there was nothing wrong with the part of whitlock's statement that I heard. I don't agree with his entire statement or with everything he says but I'm not seeing the problem with saying "Lebron is a ? with money and that comes with privileges" because its true.

    For starters everybody talking about this like somebody got hurt or that this is somehow a surprise. People have lived with worse. He's not some martyr.

    Smh... ? Michigan logic strikes again.

    It's an inside joke. He's from Michigan. I'm from Ohio. We're supposed to hate each other. It is known.

    Sad but typical.

    Look at the hate the greats receive..Tiger, Serena, Lebron. You can be good, even great, but when you become the best it's time to attempt to knock you down a couple pegs.

    His press conference was beautifully handled. I hate that he had to go into the championship series with that on his mind. I hope he wins just for the ? you factor.

    So him being shot at...someone else stealing off on him in public, him saying he's depressed, can't find work, is broke, and can't go anywhere w/o being hounded is him living just fine? Unless you about to run up and clap him yourself all the "But he's still walking around" ? is stupid to say. You can't advocate for someone to go do what you ain't willing to. You want it done, go do it yourself since you want to keep bringing it up
