Way to lower the standard of conversation while displaying your IQ for all.

If you see past your comments, the sources are high standard left leaning ones.

Ah yes, the left leaning wall street journal and new york times. Those are corporatist media. Left leaning media would be The Intercept

Translated; "Racism is bad, so we're going to use racism now to counter balance previous racism." This won't end well for anyone.

Are you also vocal when Native American tribes are given things? Quite a bit of money goes to them directly -- that is racism to you, right?

I’ve always wondered how suicide becomes a viable option in the human mind, like at some point in life did we learn about it or is it a more natural mental progression?

Like I wonder if someone raised in isolation would ever come up with the idea of killing yourself on their own or if it has to come from some outside influence.

To be clear I’ve had thoughts like that too but I just can’t recall if I came up with it on my own or if it was a concept I learned elsewhere and then sort of leaned into in the darkest moments. I just can’t imagine my innate “child self” ever going there.

This is easily provable by looking at instances of other species committing suicide.

Lebron plays in a league that's majority black in the footsteps of Michael Jordan, who was the most famous athlete on the planet and on the way to being a billionaire and owner. Lebron was anointed Jordan's heir while still in high school, and he got drafted straight into the NBA with the #1 overall pick. He's had numerous huge endorsements over his career.

Exactly how did he struggle as a basketball player? White Men Can't Jump was a 90s movie, and back in the 80s, Bird was a the great white hope as redneck from Indiana, because the top players were mostly black, and Bird was even called out as unathletic by Dennis Rodman and Isaiah Thomas after he won a playoff game over them in Detroit.

I said his struggles as a black man. As in being raised in poverty in the midwest (not a lot of opportunity for people of his background) and having no real shot at success in America other than selling his body.

In other words, if you received hate it was probably something you did. I literally cannot fathom the idea that something was wrong was us.

I wish we would transcend to a point where we look up to people based on their achievements and separate their race from it.

I’m Asian btw. I can relate to Lebron just as much as I can relate to Neil Armstrong or Satya or Matz or Woz or Marie Curie because they are all excellent at what they did/do.

I want to be excellent like them. Because we all are humans.

Lebron's struggles as a black man in America are a huge part of his success story. Not just that he's excellent at what he does. Pretending that race doesn't exist does not actually work in practice. LeBron himself will tell you that.
