What you think about Jesse Jackson calling Lebron a slave to the Cav's?

    F**K Jesse Jackson. That man is so full of sh!t always looking to start some race sh!t. I think there's a special place in hell for him. I wouldn't mind seeing his death as a top story on the news tonight.

    I am by no means a fan of Jesse Jackson. His slave reference is unfortunate, but I think in this case he is somewhat correct. If you listen to the Cavs owner, he sounds like a plantation owner who just lost his best slave.

    LeBron had a contract. He honored the contract. When the contract expired, he had every right to leave. The Cavs owner owns the TEAM, not the players. Under the NBA rules, LeBron is free to play wherever he wants, for whatever reason he wants. He is a free man and he made his choice. Cleveland needs to get over it.

    I agree with BR Tiger Fan also. The Cavs owner is acting like a jilted lover.

    Every time Jesse opens his mouth he proves (a) what an idiot he is, and (b) just how out of touch he is with the times. He doesn't know the first thing about basketball, and he continues to exploit African Americans by constantly throwing the past in the face of "the man" while refusing to acknowledge how far this country has come in terms of racial equality. He insists on making every issue about black vs. white, and as a result he's encouraging bigotry of African Americans against whites. He's not part of the solution; he's part of the problem. He needs to shut his ignorant trap and step aside for more progressive African American leaders who will promote unity and cooperation.

    Hearing Jesse Jackson speak is embarrassing. This is supposed to be one of the voices of our community?
