LeBron James is admitting that, at first, he wasn’t all that wild about going to school with white kids during his teenage years. The admission came when HBO premiered its new show, The Shop, on Tuesday night in which the pro athlete joined fellow celebs including Jon Stewart, Odell Beckham Jr. and Vince Staples to discuss their own personal stories, as well as a wide range of topics. “I went to an all-white high school, Catholic high school. So, like, when I first went to the ninth grade in high school, I was like ‘I’m not f**king with white people,'” the Los Angles Laker explained in the barbershop where they filmed. “I was so institutionalized growing up in the hood it’s like, ‘They don’t f**k with us. They don’t want us to succeed. [There’s the] hierarchy and then we’re here [indicating far lower]. Matter of fact, we underneath this chair.'” The four-time MVP went on to explain that it took time for him to be comfortable being surrounded by white people. “So I’m like, ‘I’m going to this school to play ball and that’s it. I don’t want nothing to do with white people, I don’t believe that they want anything to do with [me]. It’s me and my boys. We going to high school together and we're here to hoop. So that was my initial thoughts and my initial shock to white America when I was 14 years old, for the first time in my life… It took me a little while to adjust to it.” The 33-year-old also shared what motivates him to keep improving after so much success, including eight straight NBA Final appearances. "I know exactly what the f**k I need to do, I know how to do it and I know how I'm gonna get the best out of myself," he said. "I don't need you to push me. Once it gets to a point where you still need people to push you at a certain age, then you don't need to be doing it no more." Can you imagine if Tom Brady said this and was talking about black people? Shit storm and they would already be removing all records and stats. There would be a foot note there once was a racism man who played football but we do not mention his name! I think what bugs me about this is the extreme double standard! Wasn't there a baseball player who lost his contract because something said a decade ago?

Yet he never explained what he meant by that. Had to adjust? How? Seems to me he segregated himself from whites and focused on basketball.
How quickly would he be fined by the subversive NFL Commish, Twitter-lynched...then hammered as a "racisss!!" by a bunch of ESPN SJWs for the next decade?? ‘They don’t f**k with us. They don’t want us to succeed. [There’s the] hierarchy and then we’re here [indicating far lower]. Vulgar Neanderthal. Room temp IQ. No class. ZERO social awareness and tact. THE definition of "racist" and ingrate. But...but...because thousands of the same white people he insults and hates....are he SAME ones who cheered him on as he dribbled a ball and dunked, that same Whitey (the ones who unlike James saw no color) enabled him to be a multi-millionaire by age 21. Kinda hard to have pulled that off in Nambia or Nigeria (where James fate in "succeeded" would have depended on how many gazelles he's have speared that day. ONLY IN AMERICA.
Well, perhaps his mentality from wanting to play the Knock Out Game to NOT playing it was a tough adjustment. Seems to me he segregated himself from whites and focused on basketball. Yes...and what are the odds he lives "in the hood" wiff his homeboys? And dates ONLY home-girls? Typical hood-rat hypocrite who hates white people. BECAUSE. And hasn't any awareness to shut his idiocy and blatant bigotry down.
LeBron, is a hates whitey, smelly potato. If he wasn’t good at basketball, he’d be taking it up the ass for a honey bun on some maximum security block.

That's what you get paid for. It's a lifestyle choice that you made.
Sounds like you have experience in that area queerbait.
If a wall is massive enough and well guarded enough to keep them out, it is also massive enough and well guarded enough to keep you in.
attaboy... with Black LIES agenda.
