While I don’t agree with Trump commenting on this stuff or people like he does, I actually kind of love it. Don Lemon is a racist hack and Bron Bron just came off as an uneducated, intolerant asshole. If he attacks the president, I’m fine with him hitting back. That’s my opinion, of course. I do commend him for his work with under privileged children.
I don’t mind the tweet at all. LeBron has done plenty to divide the country as far as sports go. He called all the people who voted for Trump uneducated. Have you heard the guy talk? He’s not the brightest.
Yup. Anyone who’s really looking to make things better around the country wouldn’t turn down an opportunity to talk with the president. Look at Kim Kardashian. I’m not a fan of hers, but she had an issue, took it to the president and he listened and helped. The fact Lebron said he wouldn’t even sit down with the president tells me all I need to know about him. Well, that and how poorly he speaks...
You missed my follow-up.
We've been through this before. You reject every example.
Sorry, still don’t see it.You missed my follow-up.

Try this. Or if you want to pretend it is completely irrelevant b/c it's Canadian, here's one specific to the US justice system. Or a 3-minute video: And here's one from a fellow conservative, which is probably the only one you'll accept.
I've also told you that systemic racism IS largely intangible, b/c it can result from even well-intended measures. It's not about a single person spouting racial slurs on a street corner. It's insidious, which is why it's so difficult to root out and eradicate, or in your case, recognize it.
Pretty much, man. But yea, totally agree that he’s done some wonderful things with his time and money. Can’t take that away from him. Also can’t deny he’s being pretty hypocritical with his claims about president Trump.
Dividing the country "as far as sports go" is nothing compared to how politicians divide the country in practically every other way, and our President even does it more "as far as sports go."
LJ using his resources to give back is great. Trying to accuse others of being uneducated while butchering the English language like a 15 yr old 6th grader is head shakingly idiotic. It’s as bad as trumps misuse of adjectives like he has had 40 concussions and then insist on telling people how smart he is.
Do whatever makes your heart smile, Dat.
Your experience is pretty small scale isn’t it? You’re using the same info I use to persuade you how terrible Obamacare actually is....but you dismiss my professional experience at the drop of a hat.
I've never dismissed your position on Obamacare nor your experience in that area. I never endorsed anyone's not obeying the law.
There are two incidents in all that you listed that shouldn’t have happened (Castile and Jones) out of the millions and millions of interactions with people every year. The rest didn’t follow orders and ultimately paid the price for it. Again, follow orders and you’ll be fine.
Several have addressed the content. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean we haven’t.
The content was addressed and it’s great. Particularly in an argument with trump considering his trump university.
I stand corrected.
You're right. It's even-steven, whether it's fair or not.
Not really. It shows how intolerant our President is. Intolerance of intolerance isn't the same thing.
Why is it always that people are trying to look a certain way, as opposed to showing who they really are? You do that a lot.
You think I try to present myself a certain way while not showing how I truly am? I feel like I’m pretty straight forward. So shoot it straight...
No, you accuse others of doing that a lot. You just did it with Lebron (and Trump, too, for that matter).
Everyone knows that. That's not an excuse that covers any and every outcome. That Walter Scott shouldn't have been in a situation where he was running away from a police officer does not mean he brought being shot 8 times in the back upon himself. People can fall short of sainthood and not deserve to be touched, let alone killed.
What's the field?
You’re right on Walter Scott to a point. BUT, had he not chosen to run from the cops he wouldn’t have been in that situation. Blame goes on both sides. Knowing that cops can use deadly force and it’s a judgement call, why not just do what the cops tell you to do? Personal responsibility.
