"Dan Gilbert Sees LeBron James As A Runaway Slave" -Jesse Jackson

[KRAZIE01]

Race has everything to do with Cleveland's
"Reaction", to the "Decision".

Black folk really need to start reading more than
what these cac's write in the newspaper.....

You read this book and you will FULLY understand what
happened on ESPN the other day.

I was looking for the e-book, you got that fam?

Niggas using the race card over some shit like this. Goh dammnit Jesse. This is why no one takes his ass serious. Then when a nigga who's unarmed gets gunned down by a cop next week and he tries to use the race card the shit is going to look like a joke like it usually does when he opens his mouth. You just can't connect the two.

Bingo, he should be speaking out against the Oscar Grant verdict, not this sports shit

 

[djdez]

truth is truth...no matter where it comes from...Jesse was 100% RIGHT this time

*throws up the black fist

 

[FamoBenton]

You can't expect people to take accusations of REAL racism seriously after saying shit just like that.

It's like NAACP calling a children book racist because it mentioned 'Black holes'. There's a real battle to fight out there (mostly on the psychological side) that these I find is getting hindered by the likes of Jesse Jackson, not helped.

 

[Mr. Met]

Can Jesse Jackson please go away?

 

[Dr. Truth]

40 million dollar slaves is bullshit. Anybody that has a supervisor or boss is a slave. So id be a million dollar slave in a heart beat. Fuck outta here with that dumb shit. These niggas are playing a game for fucks sake. Not picking cotton or sitting in an office.

I didn't bring up Oscar Grant because I was hoping he spoke on that situation and I just missed his comments.

 

[Dr. Truth]

100% bullshit. Jesse is an EXCUSE THEY USE.

the idea that Jesse has any control over what racists think is silly.

anyway I think we should also consider the labor relations angle here. the racial aspect I think has some merit. but also, the theme of labor vs. capital is a strong one to mine here.

Nothing I said is bullshit. The constant cries of racism is like derreck fisher always flopping, after a while its like go the fuck somewhere with that bullshit.

Damn, did you just call Jesse Jackson the Vlade Divac of race relations.

 

[malaki]

nope, what you said is:

Jesse jackson is one reason why the modern cracka thinks cries of racism are a joke.

sorry I disagree. the people who worry about Jesse Jackson are the racists. I never met a white person who isn't an overt racist who gives 2 shits about Jesse. he's not the reason why these dumb rednecks like O'Reilly who hate him think there's no racism....the reason is they're racist and trying to cover it up.

 

[stankyhat]

I dont think its racism from the owner anyway I think it is super elitism. The super rich feel that everyone else is just a plaything for them to use as they will. They truly believe that everyone else on the planet who aren't of their status are the equivalent of worthless slaves to be used and discarded at whim.

 

[BKF]

Yeah like you wouldn't have a problem with that to.

ALL NBA OWNERS treat players like Slaves...lol no difference if its Gilbert or Miami Heat...

No, I bought the hardcover.

As soon as I read some of the comments I thought about posting this

 

[Sampson]

Wow, people can't read? He said Dan 'SEES' him as a runaway slave. Doesn't matter how much LeBron makes, the analogy still stands. Dan felt as if he owned him and then got out pocket when LeBron decided to leave on his own terms. If people can't see that because of their blind (but understandable) disdain for Jesse Jackson then you really are a fool. I don't like Jesse myself because like Al Sharpton, they'll jump on any bandwagon just for publicity, but every now an again they will actually speak the truth.

Its not about caring about jessee jackson. Its that when he shows up there is a heree we go again vibe. Nobody takes him serious anymore. He's an aatention whore hater jealous of obama. Ole I'm going to rub mlks blood all over me to seem important ass nigga.

 

[Naraku]

It seems like Jesse Jackson only speaks for his own self interest.

 

[Ill Paragraph]

Peace,

Jesse has bigger fish to fry. Jesse is an attention whore. Jesse is an ambulance chaser with regard to race.

These things might all be true, but it's a shame that cats are actually foolish enough to employ phrases like "the race card" on a predominately black board. If any of you critics were able to think outside of your own limited perspective, you would recognize that race does play a part in the violent reaction of some of the Cleveland fans. It also plays a part in how black athletes are viewed by white fans in general.

 

[lazarus]

its true..but sometimes the obvious doesnt need to be said. who cares how gilbert feels? lebron left his ass, and he can deal with it by writing as many letters as he wants. his team is still going to suck next season.

 

[conspiracy Bro]

I heard Jesse threatened to cut Dan Gilberts balls off if he didn't get down on one knee and kiss his ass.....

Does anyone have the South Park Gif where the father is kissing his ass??

 

[Complex]

Yeah like you wouldn't have a problem with that to.

Do you know me

ALL NBA OWNERS treat players like Slaves...lol no difference if its Gilbert or Miami Heat...

So are you a slave to your job

Nothing I said is bullshit. The constant cries of racism is like derreck fisher always flopping, after a while its like go the fuck somewhere with that bullshit.

Not every stupid statement or action by white people is racism.

 

[SKATTA]

I think people are getting their personal feelings for jesse and this issue at hand mixed up.
you dont to like someone or agree with everything they say,however i do believe one should be able to separate personal feelings from the issue at hand.

Stupid muthafucka. Comparing million dollar athletes to the horror of slavery. What would this muthafucka have said if Dirk left Cuban? Cuban probably would have went off the deep end also.

Muthafucka shits on a team on national tv and this muthafucka crying about some racial shit. We are our own worst enemy when public relations are concerned.

C/S all the above

I kinda agree here to even though I hate the comparison of athletes and slaves.

 

[TREY-GA]

all nba owners treat players like slaves...lol no difference if its gilbert or miami heat...

...what i don't get is all the criticism of jackson for saying what many of us have felt since gilbert's commentary was released, yet hardly no criticism of an nba owner for attacking a player personally, and pretty much justifying anything or any act that any cleveland fan wants to throw at lebron....gilbert's comments were childish, un-professional, and belittling, and given Lebron is a native son, that makes it even worse...and if the situation were reversed the league, and the public would have handled it, and commented differently...can you imagine vick after being cut by the falcons going off on blank publicly, with namecalling and ugly comments...would everyone be ok with that?....lebron did nothing wrong, he simply used his option to leave and go elsewhere, july 1 he was not under contract with the cavs any longer...he didn't owe anyone in Cleveland, owner included, any explanation as to what his plans were...for those that EXPECTED it to be done differently, they were wrong, but move on , no one owes you anything, you're not ENTITLED to anything, he honored his contract for 7 years.....

 

[r3d DaWn]

FUCK Jesse, that bitch talks shit about race this, race that, be a good man, blah blah, and does shady shit himself. Fuck pulling the race card on every fucking thing people don't agree on is why minorites always fuck themselves up, more then any "white establishment" could ever do.. Not every fucking thing we don't see eye to eye on is about race, holy fuck. Sometimes it's just studity, not seeing eye to eye about shit and what not. The fuck was said that had anything to do with race? That fucker is pissed cause there went $$ and a "chance" for maybe a ring.. ANY OF YOU, would be pissed too, money talks and bullshit walks.. And Lebron walked..

 

[TREY-GA]

C/S all the above

I kinda agree here to even though I hate the comparison of athletes and slaves.

...the comparison isn't about athlete and slave....its about slaveowner and NBA owner...Lebron acted as a businessman making a tough business decision for himself, his family and his future...nothing "slave" about that....But Gilbert reacted as if someone stole property from him, and he's due some kind of compensation for his troubles, or his hurt feelings....NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE????

 

[clayizaiken]

sounds familiar...

[cdub2499]

Runaway Slave is a lil drastic.... Jesse.

As even most analyst say..it's not even about him leaving..it's the WAY he left, and his excuse. On top of that, w/o even giving the Cav's a heads up that he won't be back, so they could make roster decisions opposed to leaving them in a shitty situation. To be honest, who would NOT be upset?

the house ninjas on this board will attack Jesse....

YES THEY WILL!! ...im sitting here wondering how anybody can reply by telling jesse to stfu...smh

either a house nicca or a cac

Should I make 15 million or 17 million next year

He said he wanted to go where he had the best chance of winning, what the fuck does that have to do with his family

YES THEY WILL!! ...im sitting here wondering how anybody can reply by telling jesse to stfu...smh

either a house nicca or a cac

So when Jesse said he wanted to cut off Obama's nuts, the people who criticized Jesse then, were they house n's or cacs

#1...he said he wanted to go where he could WIN, he didn't say that was the only reason...POSSIBLY he wants to go to warmer weather, the water, the beach...maybe he and mom always wanted to live down south, in FL, etc....maybe his girl has family down there, who knows, ITS HIS DECISION, he doesn't owe me, you or anyone any explanations unless he wants to offer it..how do you know what all went into his decision making, OTHER THAN WHAT YOU SEE ON TV CLIPS, PRINTED BY A REPORTER, OR ON SOME BLOG...I'm sure a decision of this magnitude would have many components to it, not just winning, or are you just too shallow to grasp that???

#2...I was critical of Jesse on the Obama issue, but just like in this case, its not about who the messenger is, its about whether you agree with the message or not...If you don't like Jesse, fine, but you're lying if you think he's been on the wrong side of every issue...I have my issues with things that Jesse has said and done in the past as well, but its not an issue about Jesse, Lebron, or slaves... the issue is GILBERT!!!

Somebody holds a special, that almost everybody agreed would be some cold heart shit if he left Cleveland, and Gilbert is supposed to be

A lot of the bean pie cats don't understand Gilbert has other shit he needs support for in Cleveland(Casinos and other projects). He sits there and takes that shit like a bitch he loses respect.

And isn't it funny all the white people outside of Ohio are calling him out on that shit. They say shit like "unprofessional" and other shit. They are calling him a big ass baby. No need to bring slavery or race into this.

If you think a black owner would have took being bitch slapped on national tv like that lying down you cats are in never never land.

Hypocrites. Most cats on here lose 200 million plus in a big national fuck you on tv, would have acted the same way. High road my ass. We have never witnessed an epic fuck you on tv like this so what do we use to judge Gilberts reaction.....................slavery? GTFOH

Chicago: Fourth of July - At Least 12 Shot Over Just 23 Hours

I think cats on the board just wish Jesse would prioritize a little, and choose his battles a little more wisely. Look at the bloodshed in his own backyard. African American bodies are dropping like flies, yet he's gettin all moist over a guy who makes $40,000,000 A YEAR. 54 people getting shot in one weekend is some 3rd world shit. LeBron doesn't need Jesse caping for him. Take to the streets and cape for those families who lost their loved ones.

...so you now have a greater respect for Gilbert, because his rant was gangsta to you???....and you are more likely to support Gilbert's projects in Cleveland because of the way he handled his disappointment in losing Lebron??...do I have it right??
