The more and more he talks, the more and more of a hole he digs himself into.

If not, with statements like that, it soon will be.

I grew up in a small, rural community, where the "n-word" was tossed around without regard.  Once you see what *REAL* racism is, the little things that pass for racism in today's culture poison me to the idea of trying to achieve any sort of "equality" between the races.  I think the first one - the blatant racism that denies people fair shots at jobs, cuts their wages, cuts the level of respect, and portrays them as a "different" group - is capable of being remedied.  The thing LeBron complained about isn't capable of being remedied.  I'll be glad to help you work on fixing the former.  If what you're talking about fixing is the latter, I have other windmills to charge.

The "race card" is something that I'm tired of seeing when it's obviously not applicable.

Some day Lebron's picture will be in the dictionary next to the words "tone deaf".    What an ass.
