I am sure that he has video surveillance cameras all over the place, so they should have at least some description of the person or vehicle they were in.
I had read that when the police got there, what ever was written had already been painted over, which seems kind of strange. You would think that whomever called them would want them to see it.

You think if this happened to his white neighbor he would be on ESPN "keeping the conversation going"? I doubt it

Why do racist white people do this? They always flip things the other way. "If it was a white _ "
why can't you just go with it? Shit is annoying.

Racial slurs are so old. Get past it.
Pure jealousy for a guy who made it. Huge bank.
Look at SBR. Brothers all around, skin-color makes no difference.
Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

Blacks have done this to themselves...associated with much more crime and trouble..that the good guys get it. But this happens in other facets..fat people...old people...it's a white world cause they are associated with being normal..facts

-Like when Mr.Williams (Venus and Serena's dad) called Irina Spirlea a "white turkey" and ESPN laughed and played it off
-Like when Charles Barkley made numerous racial slurs about Jews and whites (he was right about the Jews) and ESPN said it's just "Charles being Charles"
-Like when Steven A Smifff goes off on his racial diatribes against white athletes or whomever and yet is still employed and collecting mad bank working for that network!..but Curt Schilling says something contrary to their beliefs and he gets promptly fired !...
double standards and hypocrisy, teaserpleaser......that kind of is annoying!...

Manster gets it. I don't judge anyone by the color of their skin but if you are going to sit up there and preach about racism how about we involve all races not just one all the time. But you can't talk about it or you will be labeled a racist.

I would be willing to be turned into a black person for the rest of my life, for just one year of Lebron's salary.

Hold up....so there's no pics of what was allegedly spray painted on his door?? I briefly searched online, and have yet to see a single image that shows the graffiti. And it was already painted over by the time police showed up?
Hmmmmm....are we sure this isn't a copy cat deal of the racial slurs yelled repeatedly at Adam Jones, that only Adam jones heard? Not a single person took a pic or video of these incidents in 2017?
Quite unusual.

When officers responded at 6:45 a.m., the slur had already been painted over, LAPD spokeswoman Irma Mota said.
The Cavaliers star said he was saddened to be addressing racial issues on the eve of a great sporting event like the NBA Finals.

Maybe a preemptive excuse in case he sucks and gets swept in the finals.
I don't believe the Adam Jones story for one second. Zero chance someone is "repeatedly yelling the N-word" among 30k people in the bleachers...loud enough for a player on the field to hear...and not a single person took out their phone to record it. Zero.
Now do you honestly think in this day and age, not a single motherfukker would video some obnoxious white guy screaming a racial epithet during a baseball game? There's literally a zero percent chance that wouldn't happen.

I'm sure LeBron made this whole thing up just to get attention.
This on the other hand is real and sad. So sad.

Who ever is in charge of taking care of Lebron's house took a picture of what was written before he painted over the gate.

Compared some tagging to Emmet Till's mother leaving the casket open...is this mother fukker serious? Lebron LOVES to play the victim. He's a passive aggressive pussy. I hope the Cavs get swept.

I find this all too convenient that this happened right before game 1. He has had that home there for awhile, why only now did some white racist decide to vandalize it?

As a white guy, this pisses me off. The idiot who wrote this is just perpetuating the myth that there are racists lurking everywhere. Maybe one day we can have an adult conversation about racial and cultural differences without being demonized as a "racist". Instead LeBron will use his platform to decry how racist America really is using his kids to accentuate the point.
