I’ll never knock a professional athlete who decides to not speak up when something tragic is happening in the black community. I understand that unlike some of us, they have professional interests they have to look out for, but with that being said, it is nice when they use their reach to send a message. LeBron is one of the most famous athletes in the world, he doesn’t have to say anything, but he decided to do so via his Instagram account.
This isn’t the first time LeBron has spoken out on racial issues and regardless of what you think about him when he starts dribbling a ball on a court, by in large he has been a great role model for kids since the day he was drafted into the NBA.
