in typical fashion, many folks make just waytoo much of it. C'mon folks, he is a BASKETBALL PLAYER!
But anyway, while trying to ignore the story, I happened upon this headline from Fox Sports this morning. I thought it entertaining in the aspect that one racist idiot, decided to criticize another racist idiot. If we could get these guys to go ahead and destroy each other, i think we'd be better for it.

Jackson way off base on LeBron
I could pretend Jesse Jackson speaks for such a tiny minority that his inflammatory, predictable and misguided remarks about LeBron James and Dan Gilbert are unworthy of rebuke.
But then, I’d have to ignore the mountain of e-mails that poured into my laptop from African-American brothers and sisters making the same argument.
Jesse has a constituency, a passionate group of idiots who believe the best way to combat white-wing political bigots such as Limbaugh and Hannity is with black-wing political bigotry.
And so, in defense of LeBron’s narcissistic ego explosion and Gilbert’s emotional reaction to it, Jesse compared Gilbert to an 18th-century slave owner.
“His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality,” Jackson said in a statement released Sunday. “(Gilbert) sees LeBron as a runaway slave.”
