Does LaVar Ball say outlandish things that people disagree with?
Absolutely.
Is LaVar Ball threatening anyone?
Absolutely not.
Sometimes things are very simple, not complex. You have a white woman who for weeks have demeaned, disrespected and crossed the lines in conversations about a black man.
The moment the black man does the same thing to her, she cries victim and says she is afraid of him.
If LaVar Ball was this menacing black man he is being portrayed as, why would he not look at her, why would he continually tell her that he’s scared of her, why did he immediately understand what was happening when she said he was threatening her?
If you are a black man you understand this game, it is a dangerous game, one that almost certainly got you beat and killed years ago and in 2017 can damage you in other ways.
While it would be my hope that white people would try to understand what is going on, I don’t expect them to. They view the world through a different lens.
As a black man, we know exactly what is happening. It isn’t so much I think Leahy is doing it on purpose, it is more of a natural reaction to when a big black man pushes back. If that was a white man, the reaction would have been totally different in my opinion.
While LaVar Ball is using the media, the media is also using him. I will give props to Colin Cowherd for not sugarcoating the reasons why LaVar Ball is on his show, but for Leahy to put conditions on LaVar to come back on is one of the highest forms of White Privilege.
Just listen to this.
White people love to tell black people when things aren’t a racial issue. This is totally a racial issue even if want to put your head in the sand.
The way she continually speaks like she believes LaVar Ball would physically harm her, makes LaVar Ball a target in ways she couldn’t even imagine.
A target of police and potential hate crimes.
Charlamagne Tha God, co-host of The Breakfast Club radio show speaks on the history of white women crying wolf and how that makes black men a target.

While I’d never equate something happening on TV to Emmett Till, the fear is always there, that white women will cry foul, cry victim and in turn the black man will be punished no matter if it is a lie or not.
Leahy hasn’t once apologized for her actions, she believes she hasn’t done anything wrong and that is white privilege in a nutshell.

I don’t take sides, I look at situations, you can disagree with a lot of things that LaVar Ball has done, but to try to paint him as this aggressive black monster is the same thing cops do when they kill innocent black men and get away with almost every time.
Don’t be that person, don’t use stereotypes to push your agenda and further your career, that is weak, sad and frankly prejudice.
