LeBron James to Ferguson Rioters, "Violence isn't the Answer."

By Elizabeth Nelson 

When LeBron James decided to step onto the court of public opinion and offer his opinion of the Ferguson rioters, it was as accurate as the slam dunks he inflicts  on his opponents on the Cleveland Cavalier court.  His comment is simple and yet so succinct that we can't confuse where he's coming from. However, we can almost guarantee he'll receive some kind of blowback from it.

Saying "violence isn't the answer," Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James criticized the rampant rioting in Ferguson ... "What does that do?" he asked. "What does that actually do? Just hurt more families, hurt more people, draw more attention to things that shouldn't even be going on instead of people going to the family's household and praying with them.


And saying, 'Things are going to be great.' You know, 'Mike Brown is in a better place now,' and 'Trayvon Martin is in a better place now.' That's where it should be. I mean, burning down things and shooting up things and running cars into places and stealing and stuff like that, what does that do? It doesn't make you happy."

Rioting, because you're trying to make a statement that you're "tired of being stereotyped and being treated like criminals" and yet you go out and do exactly what you're "tired" of being treated like, doesn't this defeat the purpose?  Then you'll bitch, moan and complain that it's "because of the white man, that you can't get passed you're broken down, poor community," that you just burned down to the ground. 

"As a society how do we do better and stop things like this happening time after time!! I'm so sorry to these families. Violence is not the answer people. Retaliation isn't the solution as well," he wrote. Read more Breitbart

When will people stop blaming others for the situation and the choice they make, when other people, who didn't like their situation made other choices and got an education and work passed the obstacles and rejection and make a better life for themselves? 

Making excuses for failure is for the weak-minded and weak-willed, not for those that want to succeed and make a better life for themselves.  Oh wait, for the blacks, you'll have to get passed your own kind, even Obama, that tell you you're acting "too white."

But wait, when speaking to an audience of black young students, Obama sailed right off the cliff when he said, "There's nothing wrong with 'acting white' as long as you remember your heritage." and that's not racist at all, coming from a Liberal Demonrat, right?
