That is the argument that I think you are making. That is not even close to the argument I am making, but I wanted to go do other things with my evening and not write an essay on CE. Dilemmas, man. Other things win, sorry. Edit: god damnit I can't just walk away, I'll try to keep it brief. Lebron grew up poor, and of course always has been and always will be black. Historically, those are two of America's favorite reasons to discriminate against people and view their every action with suspicion. Applies to people besides Lebron as well. Then it turned out Lebron was awesome at basketball, and his next interactions with white people were surely tinged by the question of "are these guys just trying to exploit me and cash in on my talent?" Because going from always feeling like you were under suspicion to suddenly being catered to and groomed, you're gonna question peoples motives a bit. Eventually, he came to learn that nah, not all white people naturally assume he's up to no good, and not all white people just want to cash in on him. Yet, as we also know, not all white people are cool with him being famous, admired, and outspoken either. So to sum it up, that's a bit of what Lebron is taking into consideration with what he said.

Skye Reynolds 08/29/18 10:01:08 PM #86:	I used to be heterosexist. A lot of people have the wrong idea about people they've never been around. An initial misconception should not be what defines you. What defines you is how you react when you meet those people or stop to think about what it's like to be them; whether you change your perception or stay the course. He's very brave to admit that he used to have the wrong idea. Anybody can make mistakes about people if they're conditioned to or haven't met those people. Only people of character change when confronted with the truth. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:907783591] in Lebron Jam... [t:76948514]...</cite> <quote>I used to be heterosexist.

"context and history matter", therefore it's okay for black people to be racist to whites, but not the other way around. That is the argument that I think you are making. That is not even close to the argument I am making, but I wanted to go do other things with my evening and not write an essay on CE. Dilemmas, man. Other things win, sorry. Edit: god damnit I can't just walk away, I'll try to keep it brief. Lebron grew up poor, and of course always has been and always will be black. Historically, those are two of America's favorite reasons to discriminate against people and view their every action with suspicion. Applies to people besides Lebron as well. Then it turned out Lebron was awesome at basketball, and his next interactions with white people were surely tinged by the question of "are these guys just trying to exploit me and cash in on my talent?" Because going from always feeling like you were under suspicion to suddenly being catered to and groomed, you're gonna question peoples motives a bit. Eventually, he came to learn that nah, not all white people naturally assume he's up to no good, and not all white people just want to cash in on him. Yet, as we also know, not all white people are cool with him being famous, admired, and outspoken either. So to sum it up, that's a bit of what Lebron is taking into consideration with what he said.

CrimsonRage posted... that is not the argument he is making (i think), he's just explaining why they have the different reactions they do. it's like punching up vs punching down That's so annoying. Lebron James is punching up because he's black, even though he's super rich and famous? isn't he describing his thoughts before he was rich and famous? it'd be different if he still thought that way. hes talking about his mentality as a high school kid raised in a VERY racist and segregated state, going into an all white, upper class atmosphere Segregated state? And the school he went to was definitely not all white. I say this as someone who has lived in Akron almost my whole life and went to the same high school as LeBron. I'm also wondering where your got very racist from. Maybe southern, rural Ohio but I wouldn't describe people from this area as 'racist' --- Women don't even like sex.
