LeBron James is realizing that superior athletic talent and millions of dollars will not shield him from insults spewed by racists. On Tuesday, Oct. 19, James allowed his Twitter followers to get a glimpse of the hate-tweets that he has received.
James started by tweeting, “Today is Hater Day. Everyone please let them get their 2 ins of fame and light! I Love You Haters. Continue to make me proud of you guys!LOL!”
He then re-tweeted several hate-fueled tweets. “Hey good game last night, too bad you’re a fraud B—-.” “No one wants to hear u speak. Why don’t u speak by laying our head under a moving car.”
And the last re-tweet that James sent out said, “U r a big nosed big lipped bug eyed N—r. U r greedy, u try to hide our ghettoes.”
James has faced tremendous criticism since making the choice to leave Cleveland Cavaliers and sign with the Miami Heat. During a recent interview, James said that he believed that race played a role in the backlash that he received after hosting “The Decision” on ESPN. –a.r.
