When it comes to race hoaxes, this is not James’ first time to the rodeo. Actually, it's at least his fourth! Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Eric Garner, and his own house. (It doesn't matter if James spray-painted his gate; the vandalism is a transparent race hoax, but he is aggressively supporting it.]

LeBron James sent out the above celebration of racist black violence via Instagram, which ABC News, in turn, celebrated.
Business Insider activist Tony Manfred wrote, “LeBron James tweeted this photo of the entire Miami Heat team in hoodies today, along with the hashtags: #WeAreTrayvonMartin#Hoodies #Stereotyped#WeWantJustice.
“Say what you will about the relative effectiveness of Twitter-based protests. But this is still pretty powerful stuff (and a big endorsement for the movement) from one of the world's most prominent athletes:
[What a surprise, that black players in the world's most racist, major league sport would support Trayvon Martin's “right” to beat a non-black man to death.]

Probably not a coincidence. I don't think he's trying to be James Bond lol.How about Tiger Woods going down the path that Michael Jackson,Prince,and a few others have traveled?
It's even more precarious for Woods.Lots of money,time and with golf physically impossible--no outlet to do an activity that keeps him out of trouble.So what can he do then?Get hooked on drugs,hookers and other such activities detrimental to ones health.
His life and others were probably saved by police the other night-at least temporarily,but the guy is in serious jeopardy of tossing it all away.

What are the chances that the graffiti artist that painted Lebron's home was a negro? Anybody care to calculate the odds? Vegas needs to start a betting line on it. You know what they say: People will bet on anything in Vegas.
Of course we know what will happen if they find security footage of a negro doin' the deed, all it gets is a faint token mention or two buried in the backpages whereas if it's a whitey then it's headlines news.
