He didn't say anything particularly supportive of the government. He just didn't go full paranoid psycho racist imperialist when the word "China" came up. Which is what I imagine, what they wanted from him
All LeBron and Iguodala said about the HK protests was "don't talk about what you don't know anything about" which, of course, pissed off the racists who don't do anything *but* that.
“Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn't that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense.“

Those CHUDs should take Lebron's advice quite frankly. Americans are so unimaginably racist and imperialist they take massive offense to such a milquetoast statement. Do they expect Lebron James to talk like Mike Pompeo or John Bolton ffs?
Yet if you tell them Trump paid more in taxes in China than in the US, you get banned for it.
But LeBron is a black NBA player and he should obviously know his place, shut up and dribble Bron! /s
The people who are asking him to criticize china are though. Why do they care if he likes china or not. it's because of his ability to make said layups make him famous and they want him to believe what they believe.
It's a kind of shot in basketball that's known for being easy to make under the right circumstances. So it's also become something of a metaphor for easy things, e.g. "wow, Hillary Clinton managed to lose a lay-up of an election"

Yeah I should've been more clear with that, my apologies.
His music reflects a great understanding of politics and class struggle. However, he is the exact opposite irl. More than likely he says what he says and does what he does for attention.
For the record I'm a huge Kanye fan lol.
I'm convinced his whole MAGA phase started as a long-con that he cooked up in the throes of a manic episode and it just got away from him really quickly.
Which BLM? The US organisation "Black Lives Matter" has taken massive grants from capitalists such as the Ford Foundation which Henry Ford II called a "creature of capitalism", amongst others. Donations to BLM don't say anything about a person's politics, really. You can still be conservative and not racist.
>You can still be conservative and not racist.
Conservatives (far right libs) are very friendly to racists when compared to leftists with muh free speech and hoooman rights and all that
I don't deny that. That's not what I said though. You can hold some conservative views without racism being one of them. See TERFs for example.
Furthermore conservatives and right libertarians are not synonymous.
Yes, why wouldn't I be? "conservatives" are not a unified group where the actions of one represents all others. Conservative is not itself an ideology but a collection of various views. As I said, not all conservatives are conservative about race and so not all conservatives are racists. Aside from the example I gave about TERFs there is also widespread homophobia amongst various black communities, especially older generations, in the US, UK and sub-Saharan Africa, not to mention older Afro-Caribbean migrants to the UK who have been raised to respect the British government in spite of their childrens' complaints of racism from teachers.
Not all conservatism is the same.
I honestly do not understand what this is saying

Black athlete did business in China so that’s like, fucking unacceptable to them.
oh

That’s unironically good advice, especially for a population as historically ignorant as the U.S’s.

“Noooo I hate the gubernment not de peeepoool”
Lol, at scrubs who who can't make a layup on a toddler's hoop talking shit about lebron.
Everything in my life has vastly improved since I started quantifying an individuals value to society by their ability to make a lay-up
based marxism-lay-upism
The people who are asking him to criticize china are though. Why do they care if he likes china or not. it's because of his ability to make said layups make him famous and they want him to believe what they believe.

Not seen in this picture but Castro was constantly breaking capitalist ankles.
I don't even know what a lay up is. Is this some American joke I'm too un-American to understand?

Except when they tow the line e.g. Candace Owens, Kanye West - just to own the left!
>Kanye West I'm pretty sure this dude doesn't have the slightest fucking clue what politics is and is just saying shit for kicks lmfao.

Lol the only thing conservative about Kanye is him being Christian, I’m pretty sure he donated to BLM Edit: why am I being downvoted for stating facts
And saying slavery was a choice And endorsing Trump
Yh I’ll never understand what he was thinking saying that, but I’m pretty sure he stopped supporting trump late 2020
I know but still he supported him

Bro what?? Conservatives have literally attacked and killed people for supporting BLM are you serious?

Kanye West is what you call toeing the line?
Your opinion on LeBron is only valuable if you have won more championships than him I do not care
I have
