This is a quote from LeBron James.

"I don't want nothing to do with white people. I don't believe they want anything to do with me. I don't want no (white) friends. It's me and my boys."

Well I feel pretty much the same way about blacks. Nothing any more sincere/serious.

This makes me a racist ? What is he ? He is one of the current heros of the black community , does he get a pass due to his status ?

Both of you are racists. Does the fact that you're not the only racist make you feel better?

Like him , I just prefer my own kind ..... I do not see that as racist. I wish no harm to anyone, and i certainly would not bring any harm to anyone, and I do not think he would either.

You are the one hung-up on the racist label .... does it make you feel superior to use that term ?

Would you look him in the eye & call him a racist ? Or is it just easier with me as you hide behind your keyboard ?

It's really getting old, and since it is only an opinion on your part ....... I couldn't care less as you are less than significant .

Lebron James is currently playing for the Los Angeles Lakers NBA Basketball team. There is a player on the team named Austin Reeves who is white. Are you telling me that Lebron James does not associate with his own teammate and is not friends with his own teammate which he most likely spends the majority of his daily time with? That is complete bull.

I am not saying that Lebron James in his spare time doesn't choose to be around other black people because they are the people he feels he can associate with better for one reason or another, but to say he has zero white friends is ridiculous. His white teammate if anyone would ask him he would say he was a friend 100% for sure.

@rgb you can choose to be friends with whomever you please, but if you go around specifically trying to avoid one sort of person just because of their skin color and no other reason at all then yes that is racist. For example, if you met someone lets say in a bar and they just started chatting with you and you both really had a lot in common in the chats you were having , but they were black you would do everything to avoid them because they were black. That is wrong and racist.

You "wish no harm to anyone?" Perhaps you forgot your earlier posts. You said "If Ahmaud Arbery has just allowed himself to let those guys arrest him, he wouldn't have been killed." You also supported Derek Chauvin.

I am not telling you anything ..... I merely quoted Mr James. He is the one doing the telling.
 
That has nothing to do with race ....... Mr Arbery grabbed the shotgun, IMO had he not .... he might well be alive today.

If you IYO believe the three white guys may have been racially motivated, in their citizens arrest ? That may be , I have no idea what was in their minds at the time . But that was not me, that was them. I would not have approached him, if I thought he was up to no good ? I would have called the police. Nothing more.

As for Chauvin ....... Yes I do support him in his action. Kneeling on the neck of a suspect was at the time an approved police tactic. Myself [and many others] believe that Mr. Floyd's drug infused condition is what killed him. And I'll also note that his resistance to the arrest , put him in that position.

Just read the fact checker on the article that the Lebron James statements were made about white people. Here is what the checked out about it:

Our rating: Partly false​

We rate this claim PARTLY FALSE because some of it is not supported by our research. James did make comments about white people on an episode of his television show, but they referred to his past as a high school student at a predominantly white high school. The claim is inaccurate because it doesn't include James' full statement. Further, the claim is misleading in that it is posted years later, amid a time of protests over systematic racism and police brutality.

So you take the right to tell me how to pick/choose my friends ......... and label me in the process ? That says more about you than it says about me .

The first thing I stated is that you can choose to be friends with whomever you please. That is your right. It is your actions that you choose to discriminate against one person because of just there skin color which I am calling wrong not your choice of who you chose to be friends with or not. If you read the first thing I wrote you could see that. You don't know these people other then the color of there skin and you choose to turn them away solely because of that. That is what I have an issue with. Judging someone for the sole reason of the color of there skin. That is what makes you a racist not that you choose to befriend them or not. You can choose whomever you want to associate with or not, but not to give someone even a chance because of something as petty as the color of ones ridiculous.

So my reasons are wrong IYO ? Well it has nothing to do with the color of their skin. It has only to do with their actions & my experience with them. And there again you ....... like @win231 just cannot accept that ....... you & he just must label me.

Well, your opinion means nothing to me so ..........

I never said any such thing ...... I said it was an approved tactic , perhaps he [Chauvin] just did not realize how long it had been ? I will give the benefit of doubt to the police officer as opposed to giving it to the drug addled street thug/ex-con.

Have you met every black person? I imagine the percentage of those people that you have come across has been a pretty small percentage of the overall population. To discriminate against all because of just a small percentage well that just leaves me shaking my head as well.

Assuming Chauvin was not cognizant to the time that elapsed, then that is criminal Negligence.

If you ever have a criminal problem ....... do not call the police, call a street thug.

As I said, I will always give the benefit of doubt to the police officer ....... apparently you prefer the thugs.

What else is there ? You disagree with my reasoning & choices , and you feel a need to label me. Does labeling me make you feel superior ?

Oh I am certainly not superior. I have never seen myself as superior to anyone. If anything I have seen myself as inferior to people. I have only a high school education and have only pretty much been a stay at home mom and housewife my entire married life although I will never say that has been easy, but no I have never seen myself as being superior to anyone. I am like everyone else who has her faults. I just look at everyone as equal no matter race, gender, religion, sexuality, or whatever. I just feel you do not do the same.
