It was reported that LeBron James, Los Angeles home was vandalized Tuesday and somebody had the balls to spray the N-Word on his gate (if you don’t know what the N- Word holla at me in the comments). It is sad because James is the best player in the world and he is one of the most recognizable and he just like millions of other black men still have to deal with racial situations. What did James do to deserve this? Honestly just be black, in this world we can’t pick what color skin we are, but we can control how we treat others no matter race or condition and this just proves that as a whole we have a long way to go. Nowadays racism comes from keyboards and hidden agendas, the same people that cheer for African American players on a daily basis are quick to shoot racial slurs at the same player or players if they do something they don’t approve of and it is sad. This isn’t all people, but the percentage is higher than the masses want to believe.
I love how LeBron addressed the media on Wednesday, because he could’ve acted like it wasn’t a big deal and we all know it is. Check out what James had to say and also see what hall of famer Isiah Thomas had to say about the James stepping up to the plate.

Basketball aside James has done a lot for the urban community and he needs to be applauded for that a lot of our favorite players have whiffed when put in certain situations or have been in the shadows. As a black man I admire his work especially off the court.
