LeBron
It's very unfair for groups to pressure LeBron James to get involved in the Tamir Rice matter. They want him to boycott games, and so forth. But LeBron is entitled to his own opinions. Why is It necessary for him to get involved in this issue?
There's an assumption that all Blacks have to think alike, cannot have different opinions, and have to march in unison like goose step Nazis.
For all we know, LeBron may have many conflicting concerns about the Tamir case. On the one hand, he may think the police did act too hastily. But on the other hand, he may think Tamir's parents have to share some responsibility for what happened. The parents bought Tamir a gun that looked real, and they allowed Tamir to go out in public with that "real-looking gun."
Too often, we instinctively look at issues through the eyes of a victim. Unfortunately, we fail to look at all sides, especially how a person's own actions can be responsible for an unpleasant result.
