LeBron James has to hang around white people every day. Some of them even boss him around. But he wasn’t always comfortable around white people.

Speaking to other athletes on an episode of his HBO show The Shop, LeBron explained that he had preconceived notions about white people, which made him not want to hang out with them.
“I went to an all-white high school. So when I first went to the 9th grade in high school, I was on some like, I’m not fucking with white people.
“I was so institutionalized growing up in the hood. It was like, they don’t f**k with us. They don’t want us to succeed. So I’m like I’m going to this school to play ball, and that’s it… It’s me and my boys. We going here to school together. We going there to hoop. That was my initial thoughts, initial shock to white America when I was 14 years old.”
This explains why LeBron chose the Lakers. They are one of the few teams with a black general manager.
LeBron’s comments make sense and hopefully this won’t turn into a big thing. He was 14 and white people looked at him weird because white people suck. They suck even more if you’re a black kid coming into their white school and are awesome at basketball.
I’ve seen that movie O. I know how this works.
Judging by LeBron’s most recent tweet, it’s obvious he’s over his white fear.
Now if y’all think this @Eminem “Kamikaze” album isn’t 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 you’re just hating and incompetent of lyrics/cadence/breakdown of his raps. Oh and he putting quite a few in a body bag too 💀! 😂 😂
