LOS ANGELES, CA—We all know LeBron James is an amazing human being, but seriously. Just when we thought he couldn’t get any better, local media caught this powerful moment and WE CAN’T EVEN. Cameras caught the inspiring, heartwarming moment LeBron approached a homeless man last week at one of LA’s many tent cities.
According to sources, the homeless man held out his hand to LeBron’s approaching car to ask for some spare change. What happened next gives us faith in humanity again.
The world-famous NBA player looked at the poor man’s outstretched hand. Smiling kindly he said, “Silver and gold have I none, but in the name of #BlackLivesMatter, I offer you the gift of social enlightenment!”
LeBron James then proceeded to lecture the lucky panhandler on his white privilege, offering helpful ways to “be better” in the future. “I was shocked,” said Mike “CrazyEyes” McCluckerson, the homeless Marine Corps vet after LeBron’s helpful exhortation. “I was raised by a family of possums under an abandoned bridge, but I had no idea how many advantages my whiteness had given me in life. Furthermore, Mr. James illuminated a host of unconscious biases I harbored in my heart without even knowing it. This moment marks a turning point in my never-ending journey to relinquish the mantle of privilege Western colonialism has afforded me.”
Mr. McCluckerson then offered Lebron James his scarf as a token of thanks. James didn’t have any cash to offer the homeless man, but he did make a $100 donation to Black Lives Matter in his name. What a BEAUTIFUL gesture. Go, LeBron!

Have you ever had the sensation to be horribly nauseous and laugh at the same time?
I have.
I’m sure Lebron James could beat me at one on one easy enough. I bet George McGinnis coulda at his lunch though. And I’m pretty sure David Thompson coulda made Mr. James look like an 8th grader. Before he got into the coke, that is. Bill Russel? Forget about it. But then, NBA basketball has degenerated into where its athleticism that makes superstars, not necessarily highly developed fundamentals. That said, don’t we all love getting lectured about white privilege by folks that get paid ka-jillions of dollars to play a game? Douchebags.
David Thompson =best ever
Amen. Michael Jordan before there was a Michael Jordan.
He also was a great guy, lived in the same dorm as he at NC State in 1973.

First time? Just swallow, dearie.
You’re a day early, aren’t you dear?
No telling how many women Bob has introduced to the Puff the Magic Dragon move.
James has so many adoring fans and so much contempt for the USA, he should move to be closer to those fans….in China.
Nominated for the next king of Wakanda.
I couldn’t find my last comment on this topic but that’s ok, I never tire of it. I mentioned in that lost comment that Kylie, Kanye and now Kim are billionaires in their own right. How does this happen in a time of crisis?
And yet, blacks are downtrodden and dirt poor, hanging on to a slave past and begging white America to make it stop. The gringos, bless their heart, are going all out to help the blacks topple the icons and mementos of former oppression. That should give the other half of blacks the relief they need so they can pursue happiness in high paying music and sports careers.
There is something they don’t understand quite yet, if whites don’t have jobs who is gone pay for the black welfare? How will they afford the rap shit and sports shit if nobody giving them free money?
A field trip to Zimbabwe is in order.
I’m from Akron, Ohio but I still don’t know what football or baseball team LeBron plays for. It really does not matter because I don’t care to follow any of these 50 IQ sports jocks.
I think he’s a forward for the Blackhawks.
Talent: on loan from God…intellect and compassion: on loan from the devil….
Who Lebon James?
Perfect example of where money and morality don’t walk the same path.
Nigs will be nigs!
With all these wealthy black people who are so smart, isn’t it time they made Wakanda a reality? Make Africa great again!
They NEVER call for a black nation in which they can prosper and thrive, free of all the daily imminent dangers of white street gangs chasing them down and killing them (LOL). They know damn well that this nation is great because of whites. They may have contributed some labor, but success came from the top, and there were no blacks up there making it happen. They just want to steal our prosperity, and since 1965, the DNC has been telling them that this is the ONLY way they will ever get ahead.
