LeBron James Is Done With Trump: 'I Would Never Sit Across From Him'

NBA superstar LeBron James called out President Donald Trump on Monday night for escalating racial tensions.
“He’s kinda used sports to kinda divide us,” James told CNN’s Don Lemon. “And that’s something that I can’t relate to because I know that sport was the first time I was around someone white.”
Trump has repeatedly slammed professional athletes, some for refusing to visit the White House as has been customary after championships, and others for kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial injustice.
“Sports has never been something that divides people,” said James. “It’s always been something that brings someone together.”
James also said that while racism has always been around, Trump has enabled some of the racists.
=======================================
Pretty sure the Obama Justice Department declined to pursue charges against Black Panthers who were intimidating voters going into vote. This was in the first year of his presidency. That message was heard loud and clear by those watching. The Obama/Holder tag team went out of their way to make race relations worse. For Lebron to claim it started with Trump is intellectually dishonest.
Yes, his work on this school is great and I respect him for getting involved.
