    Who is Lebron James?
    And why was his history education so error filled and misguided?
    Did he suffer a concussion?

    LeBron.

    King James.

    The Bach, Herbie Hancock, Sir Duke, the man's no fluke of ballers.

    Labron James is a basketball player who would be the world's tallest janitor were it not for the NBA.

    So really your posts are trolling with no meaningful input. Perhaps that type of thing gives some sort of pleasure but I will just live and learn and not intereact with your posts.

    Naw, if it weren't bb it would be whatever sport he grew up with or chose. That kind of talent is always going to the top.

    You can see it in any field. Doc Pomus would have gone to the top of song writing no matter what tried to keep him down. Never heard of him? Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. You've heard his music.

    Meh, I haven't watched the NBA since Larry Bird played, now that I don't watch the NFL, this topic is almost completely meaningless to me, except to say this: the most famous slave in history is a white guy, you don't hear us whining about. Think about that LeBron…

    When compared to other companies with a similar number of employees....absurdly high.

    Huge Laker fan here but Lebron needs to seriously realize 2016 is over and this stuff comes off as extra cringe now. He can say whatever he wants but he's also clearly displaying how titanically retarded he is about anything other than putting a ball in a hole and selling sneakers

    Lol.

    Someone posted the list. Over 900 since 2000. Are you gonna pretend like other companies have the same or similar rate?

    Thats just under 1700 employees in a given year.

    That's a ridiculously high rate.

    Please tell me you're going to argue otherwise....

    And you were being so sincere and open-minded with me...

    My bad. :oops:

    So you figure if Larry Bird had opined as King James, it would create this kind of RW outrage riot?

    I look forward to a serious and adult discussion on race in America.

    And...

    GO!

    So you can't admit that companies who maintain around 1700 employees have, on average, far less than 900+ arrests (since 2000)?

    Link?

    Even if true, that's like 3% in a HEAVILY tested group doing non-essential work and in no position to endanger the public.

    Most places I've worked have a MUCH higher rate of drug use.

    And if you add in alcohol... :eek:

    Looks like a huge, racially motivated nothing burger to me.

    Oh - and to my knowledge, King James is not a drug user, so completely irrelevant.

    Do you get this upset when people (overwhelmingly white conservatives) refer to the 'Democrat plantation' and liken blacks who vote Dem to slaves? I'm going to guess that you don't, so this isn't really about historical accuracy.

    It isn't a serious discussion of anything.

    If it was some white guy screaming about 'tyranny' because some politician wants to limit access to 30 round mags I suspect the people who are so upset about LeBron would be too busy screaming 'tyranny' to realise the irony.
