Big mouth on the right is a part of what's wrong with society. Ppl like him have screwed up moral, perspectives, priorities, and sense of pride, just like Bron, and that's why they side with what Lebron did. I grew up a bit spoiled, and even I, as a child, felt then knew it wasn't right, even saying it to friends when I got in high school. I was a deep person, an overthinker, and the shallowness of being spoiled messed with my being. That said, I also think a lot of us black folk who agree with this also have the angle of, "Well, white ppl have been doing it for centuries, so why can't we now that some of us are in positions to do it," which is true yet, again, where are theur morals and all that? Just because others do something doesn't make it right and/or the best thing to do. I don't have any kids, and at this point in life I don't want any, but if I did, I'd ensure working hard and smart in my kids so they can achieve for themselves. That's the greater reward, not cheat codes.
