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

[rahra816]

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

that has nothing to do with this ...atleast i dont think it does...so because jesse made a fucc'd up statement about black pres dont mean he aint telling the truth on this issue...


Ray Charles can see the owner of the cavs looked at the lebron situation as a freed slave or a ****** who got away and out smarted him

whats the use of bashing jesse when he is speaking real talk this time for some reason cac's are wired wrong mentally in they thinking they act as if black people can never be the victim under any circumstances


house nicca's and cac's always try and treat the situation as if we brung it on ourselves...

listen
Lebron James did the city of Cleveland and that organization dirty

did the owner go over board
hell yeah
but
it was Lebron's 9PM Press conference and not returning the cavaliers calls that drove the owner over the edge

Lebron handled the situation all wrong

he could have let the Cleveland fans and the Cavaliers down easy
instead he dropped them like a ton of bricks..

 

[Scorsese]

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.

you know what i honestly thought you was one of the smart brothers on this board, but with this i see differently...

If you honestly with all your fucking time being on this planet dont see how the white man moves i dont know what to say to you...

Even jim brown spoke out today about dan gilberts comments. They werent racist, but they sure was on the fast track to the jim crow era...

It really pains me that some of you guys really dont see the big picture. Shaq did the same thing with orlando years ago, and there wasnt this much bad press.

Alot of brothers are trying so hard to move towards the elite mainstream that yall are losing all sense of right or wrong


please wake the hell up !!!!!!

...does anyone hear know what Lebron James relationship was with Gilbert the past 7 years???...do you know what Lebron really feels about him??? .....we know what Gilbert thinks of Lebron, even before the decision was made thur. nite, he told us in his rant...so just because he pays Lebron millions for his skills on the court, he's supposed to get the utmost respect???...Gilbert could possibly be the biggest A-hole behind closed doors, could possibly be the worse owner in the league....certainly not hard to believe after his rant...I agree Lebron could have said more to the fans of Cleveland before leaving, but he owes them nothing....he gave them 7 good years, and the city prospered from his playing there...but he isn't a "slave" to gilbert or to the city of cleveland...

Perfect example of a House Nicca man ...when white bois fire brothas do they let them down easy ..

this man was done wit his contract point blank...

He aint got to sugar coat nothing and the press conference was so he could donate the bread the boys and girls club...sad folks is really showing how they love massa

 

[Theo_Huxtable]

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

Basically.

But someone hollerin racism is the easy way to get brothas to co-sign for you on anything though unfortunately, it doesn't involve any type of thought process.

The owner went nuts but it wasn't over no race shit obviously, the team was built around this one player & assumed he'd be a franchise player to help get them to the Championship game at some point and the whole city rallied around him, but this franchise player sudden decides to leave and make it a huge announcement as a special on primetime tv (which no one does).​

 

[TREY-GA]

...WHY DIDN'T GILBERT LOCK UP LEBRON FOR YEARS TO COME BEFORE JULY 1ST????...DID HE OFFER HIM A PIECE OF THE TEAM???...OR MORE???...DID HE MAKE HIM AN OFFER HE COULDN'T REFUSE???? ...OR DID HE SIMPLY RELY ON THE MAX CONTRACT DEAL THAT NO OTHER TEAM COULD OFFER????...IF HE PUT ENOUGH ON THE TABLE MAY BE LEBRON DOESNT LEAVE???...

 

[Complex]

Shaq did the same thing with orlando years ago, and there wasnt this much bad press.

He didn't talk to his team for a week, had a hour long dick suckin special and then told his team like ten minutes before his decision

If you told your boss you were quitting on Friday at 4:59, how would he react?

says the black man who's checks are probably signed by a white man
I don't work for anyone shithead
so
I don't have a massa

we ain't talking about a normal guy work 9 to fucking 5

we talking about a fucking basketball player
why the fuck you dumb fucks comparing lebron James to a average black man walking the fucking streets

That n..... needs to stay in his place. Who the fuck do he think he his leaving Cleveland and doing primtime tv. You don't treat a white man like that

 

[TREY-GA]

if you told your boss you were quitting on friday at 4:59, how would he react?

...we all would be a little angry and pissed, but would you go public with those comments like gilbert did???....MOST OWNERS WOULD MAKE A STATEMENT SAYING THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED, BUT THAT THEY HAD TRIED TO ACCOMOMDATE HIS WANTS, BUT NEVER WOULD HAVE GONE TO THE PERSONAL ATTACKS AND NAME CALLING...

what your missing here is lebron is not a slave, he can do what the hell he wants...

Further more where were you guys when the cav's owner was bashing lebron in the press during the cav's boston series ??

He didnt do it after, or in private... He didnt it during the series...

We honestly dont know what the hell was going on behind the scene's... Lebron did not return the owners calls after he left that arena...

If you remember the special lebron said he wanted to be some where he could be happy, i think that should of rung a bell with some of yall... He wasnt happy in cleveland... Something happened that made Lebron do what he did, and do it the way he did it

Peace !!!

that's the thing dawg
99% of bgol will always be employees
they could never ralate to management

imagine you owned a company
and your best most important employee
an employee you respected and treated fair
quit without telling you or giving you advanced warning

you would be pissed as shit too...

anywhy

you wasting your breath

this is bgol

full of Captain Save a nigga that shouldn't be saved

the fucked up shit is
most of these guys wouldn't even buy a candy bar from a black man selling it on the street
but
are always quick to defend famous rich brothers that fuck up..

 

[gene cisco]

...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??

Frankly, I respect his being honest on how he felt. It isn't about "gangsta", it's about stand up for yourself. Nothing wrong with standing up for yourself and your team.

I already supported his Casino projects because the fucking city is dead. I mean isn't that why everybody on BGOL makes fun of Cleveland?

Dude, the problem was the way the situation was handled, it wasn't professional. That's the problem people had with it, and probably Dan Gilbert himself.

If he would have told him he had planned on leaving ahead of time, anything before 9:01, I highly doubt he would have had that reaction. That's why no one had a problem with Chris Bosh or Amare. But to play coy like you honestly were undecided, when you knew weeks if not months or years ago that you were going to leave, it was fucked up. I don't see how anyone can deny the way he did it was fucked up.

And I swear if Kobe would have done the same shit, half of you same muthafuckas would be bashing the hell out of him about how arrogant and fucked up he was, but because it's someone you like

...i have no issue at all with supporting cleveland, they will need it now more than ever, but i doubt i will ever frequent or support any establishment that gilbert is owner of...even if his the ice in his casinos is colder...

Yeah, and if Sean Combs owned the team he would have took that bitch slap cool as fuck.

Any black man that had that much money and owned a team like that isn't taking that national tv slurp fest like a bitch. Then what is the excuse, the white man made two black men have a media war?

I could see the bean pie cats now, ESPN wanted these two to go at it to make black people look bad.

The thing was it was unprofessional, not racist. Many white people are saying the same thing you are saying(those outside of Ohio). Shit, they are saying why would any NBA player want to play for Gilbert. These are whites.

Shit came off unprofessional to most of the country, racist............that's bean pie shit.

 

[Theo_Huxtable]

It ain't about black or white to me, unfortunately that's all it is to you somehow, I guess u live off that shit. But you refuse to actually think about the situation and why someone black or white would but upset as an owner. Instead you just do the simple minded thoughtless thing and go along for the "it's racism" ride. Think for yourself brotha, you'll be a lot happier...or just use some sense.​

 

[TREY-GA]

...i respect his honesty, its his feelings...i don't respect how he displayed it though......to come off so salty and call out lebron for being a poor example to young people, when he's the older, supposedly wiser, mature man calling names...its laughable....

 

[BDR]

Cleveland will forever have mediocure players until Ole Gilly sells the team

 

[gene cisco]

how does the letter help him?

Regionally, he is on some Casino shit. The whole country was basically shitting on Ohio and Cleveland. He stood up. Locally people respect that. He went from evil guy who is getting Casinos to a guy that stood up for a shitted on region.

It aint fucked up because he didn't do shit to me nor did he do anything to you. The NBA is a business and when the owner decides to let a player go, guess what. That's business to. Btw it wasn't a surprise that he was leaving Cleveland. It was just a matter where from Cleveland he was going.

You never see me bash kobe bryant ever....

Any sports player would of did this i would have clapped....

Owners play hardball with players all the time....

Guess what ???

The favor was returned ....


Thats all i have to say about this lebron situation.. He is in miami now, pushing to become a all time great...

By the way im a knicks fan

True, but I don't think anyone has really defended him, people just feel it wasn't racist and slavery had nothing to do with it.

Cleveland is also dealing with not winning shit, those failings in football and the Browns going to Baltimore.

And when a hometown son does that, I think the knife cuts a little deeper

So was he suppose to stay in Cleveland forever or until the owner and/or fans stop giving him love? Let just have it where all players stay in their hometown/state.

[TREY-GA]

he went from evil guy who is getting casinos to a guy that stood up for a shitted on region.

...a short term win, very short term...long term he screwed himself...if he gets casinos in cleveland, i hope he realizes he'll need money from outside the state of ohio...i'm in ga., why would i be more likely now to go to his business and spend money???...BY MID SEASON AND MIAMI IS ROLLING, HE'LL BE LOOKING LIKE A FOOL THAT LET THE KING GET AWAY...

Back in 2007 I told you cats on BGOL LeBron was referred to as "the man", he ran this place. I wasn't part of his inner circle but had this on good word. Haven't really spoke to those contacts since 07, but believe me, he was "the man". What "the man" wanted he got.

Don't know about 8,9 and 10. But in 7 that cat ran shit and had Gilbert's blessing.

He just didn't run Gilbert, he bossed local business owners also.
