Ironically everyone is enjoying dunking on Lebron. I say ironically because in the court, he dunks on everyone. But, that's just some awesome wordplay I get to use due to these unique situation.
Dunno if you know...
But LeBron made it to the NBA due to his basketball playing skills. It had nothing to do with his book knowledge or his intellectual leanings. I mean, you might know this, but then again, some might not.
It sure seems like all over twitter the right wing pundits are dunking on LeBron de "libtard" as if he's the one to carry the intellectual torch for the left wing movement.
Ebonics and the South
I'm no expert, but it's somewhat common knowledge that some of us Americans speak funny. Yes, not just the accent, but also the "bad english" so to speak.
The point is that unless you are pretending to be too intelectually superior and show your bigotry. If you are american, you probably understand ebonics and the southern talk.
It's no big deal... Yes, the double negatives are funny but we all get them. Don't we?
For context
Lebron is/was ok maybe still is upset about the latest police fumbles. A young girl died, 16 years old. Yes, I'm aware she had a knife, but the initial reporting said nothing about this.
As it turns out the NBA star tweeted something super stupid, later deleted it. I'm sure people around him told him to "be better", and he did. He proceeded to say that anger is not the answer, and that he's sorry.
But of course... His grammar sucks, therefor his apology is not accepted and he must be crucified. This is what is going on right now.
What a fun game this is, right?
MenO
LeBron is from Ohio. LeBron is a multi-million dollar superstar with huge influence. Of course there will be reactions.
Im not saying he didn't f up... I'm saying the faux outrage and the bar they are pretending to hold him to (for his intellectual capacity) is stupid.
They are posting pictures of him holding books...
Once again, the mob rears its ugly head and does what it does best: destroy everything. I suppose I should be surprised by this development, but I'm really not.
Thank you sir @meno, what I can take from this incident is we have to be careful with what we say and what we do, especially when it comes from public figures, because in fact there will be positive and negative responses or no response at all. God bless you.
