The
NBA champion San Francisco Warriors were not the only NBA team with a
black majority that were motivated by racism to insult the President
of the United States and the usual invitation to the White House to
celebrate their victory. LeBron James also supported the protest a of white man in the White House movement that followed of course, the
exit of a black President from office. The NBA is overwhelmingly a
black league; the game lends itself to racial preferences because of
the few and odd numbers, and discrimination by whites against blacks
is politically unfavored these days, so blacks have the court power
largely to themselves.
Though
James is a damaged item after his public racism against the white
President (well, some Democrats called him somewhat orange during the
2016 campaign and Inspector Mueller should look in to that), his fate
is still interesting; will he go to the Lakers with a great young
front court pair of guards an be the old man, or not? If the Lakers
can find one additional star to go with James somewhere, the Lakers
may be able to win a championship. Even if they can't, the team
personnel would be rather fascinating to watch as they would have
more personality than the robotic Warriors with a star guard who
looks like he wears a pacifier (there are more fashionable teeth
guards available such as most players use).
LeBron
James should take a good look at reports from the White House and the
way Presidents have conducted themselves and consider if they are
treated fairly by the media. The Starr Report on Bill Clinton said
that on numerous occasions he "kissed and fondled the breasts"
of a woman other than his wife in the Oval Office. If Donald Trump
had done that in office would the media treat him with equal
kindness?
LeBron
James could be a moral agent of good influence if he works diligently
at comprehending that President Trump needs to serve all Americans.
Black Americans politically don't seem in the public political arena
to care about anything besides racial issues. What about eliminating
public debt, securing the borders against illegal immigration and
increasing taxes on the rich in order to pay off the public debt?
Lebron
James should be a leader in ecosphere protection and no-net-loss of
ecosphere habitat. A strong push needs to develop to stop loss of
species as there is a great mass extinction going on. The public and
especially there political leaders are in some ways largely stupid
about the need to change the economy from one that consumes and
destroys the ecosphere to one that is more in a symbiotic
relationship with it. With some thought beyond the black species
political self-interests against other species, James could coalesce
leadership of all species (comparing races to species as if they were
on equal footing with all of the animal species being destroyed while
humans over consume, over-drive fossil fuel cars,build highways and
eliminate ecospheric health and sustainability).
