After Thursday’s exhibition game against the Dallas Mavericks. Lakers star LeBron James told the world how he feels about the cops that killed Breonna Taylor. The three-time NBA champion said, “We want the cops arrested who committed that crime.” Like we used to say back in the day, ‘Period! Point Blank!’
He went on to say, “Is that what we need, a video of Breonna being killed for people to see how bad this is?” Because it wasn’t until people actually watched the 8 minutes and forty six seconds of George Floyd being killed that people around the world became enraged that this black man was killed by the police. This wasn’t anything new but people finally had a chance to watch it in slow motion. Black folks have been getting killed by the police.
It’s almost as if the police didn’t just run off into a black woman’s home while she was sleeping with a bogus warrant and assassinated her. Let the Louisville police department and the district attorney’s office tell it. Otherwise, these killers wouldn’t still be walking the streets.
James went on to say, “Everybody talks about black lives matter as a movement. It’s not a movement. It’s a lifestyle…..it doesn’t stop.”
Now let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Before all of the naive idiots jump out of the birthday cake butt naked foamin’ at the mouth talking crazy. Let me break it down for you.
First of all, stop bringing up black on black crime like the gangsters out here have been trained to protect and serve the citizens. They aren’t being paid by taxpayers to keep the city safe. Secondly, stop with the 93 percent of all black homicides are committed by black people foolishness because 88 percent of all white homicides are committed by white people. You sound stupid and racist saying it and most importantly, you sound like you can’t think for yourself.
Just because LeBron and the other NBA players are rich doesn’t exclude them from being black in America. They still get racially profiled and pulled over for driving in the wrong car in the wrong neighborhoods. Sure, when the racist cop pulls LeBron over he eventually asks for an autograph once he sees that it’s him. However, his intent was to be a butt hole when he turned his lights and siren on in the first place.
What about all of these player’s families and friends that aren’t famous that the cops pull over and harass? LeBron has children that the cops wouldn’t know are his when they pull them over for driving an expensive car in a neighborhood with multi-million dollar homes in it.
I’m a black man with a wife and two kids. We live a comfortable lifestyle and could easily afford to buy our children new cars. However, when my son started driving years ago we bought him a 16 year old car because we didn’t want him to become a target for the police.
A young black kid in a new car is a target for law enforcement. We did everything we could to avoid him being racially profiled while simply driving to school. And oh yeah, we had to give him the talk about how to handle yourself if and when you get pulled over. White folks don’t have to have that conversation with their children. I’m quite sure, LeBron has had it with his children too. It’s a matter of survival.
Like LeBron said later in the interview, “You can’t understand unless you’re a person of color. You might feel for us, but you’ll never understand what it’s like to be Black in America.”
“It’s real out here in the field,” in my Puffy voice. And again, justice for Breonna Taylor. Stop me when I start lyin’!
