Bryant, much like his mindless foray into the ski-capped mountains of Colorado a decade ago when he sexually violated a white girl in every orifice, exemplified sheer coonery and cultural ignorance when he idiotically criticized the Miami Heat players for supporting the murdered teen for what he deemed was based on race solely — instead of the more accurate assessment that perhaps LeBron James, D-Wade and the rest of the Heat players supported Martin because they felt that the boy was wronged by a self-righteous, vengeful and racist white Hispanic with a hero complex and a loaded 9mm handgun.
To recap, this is what Bryant told The New Yorker about LeBron James’ posting of photos of the Heat team wearing hoodies in honor of Trayvon Martin: “I won’t react to something just because I’m supposed to, because I’m an African American,” he said. “That argument doesn’t make any sense to me.

Yet you want to talk about how far we’ve progressed as a society? Well, we’ve progressed as a society, then don’t jump to somebody’s defense just because they’re African American. You sit and you listen to the facts just like you would in any other situation, right? So I won’t assert myself.”

Yes, as the Black Mamba pointed out, he is entitled to discharge pollutants out of his mouth in the form of his ignorant “opinions.” And the populace has every right to respond with theirs — and they scalded the superstar L.A. Laker with hot denunciations of his “opinion.” Take a look at what Kobe critics had to say:
