LeBron James Makes an Ass of His Mom

61. Let's be real people...the are a dozen people in that clip, how do you come away with the idea that it was meant for his mother. Get a life stop trying to make problems where there may not be any.

62. According to ESPN this was not his mom, but a fan. As a mom, I'm very disappointed in the comments typed leading up to mine. There is no reason for anyone to type things dealing with race. No parent is perfect, nor is a child perfect. I have never met a parent, who didn't want their children to quiet down at the grocery store or other public venue, nor have I met a child who respected their parents every minute, of everyday. The color of your skin has nothing to do with respect. Unless you live in the home of the person you are critisizing you are not capable of making a statement. Last time I checked, unless you are God you don't have the right to judge. It's sad but the only people who carry on racism are those who continue to feed racial comments or speak them. There is a lesson I teach my children. When you use hateful words, cuse, or break people down it is a sign of your own self value, and education. An educated person can think of better words to use. A confident person doesn't need to break people down, judge people or stand on other peoples platforms. Another words, If someone is rude enough to waste their time typing a comment and fill it with racial comments, they are looking for attention and not educated enough to realize how inappropriate those comments were. For those who took the time to comment back, Why feed a starving wolf? Don't keep it going, What are you proving?

63. Please. His mama didn't even raise him. He was raised by other family, because mama was so young. I understand a mother's instict to protect your child, but come on. This is the NBA. I think Lebron can handle himself!

firstly for the record, it the game was NOT on
mother's day; it was played last night. ( monday )

secondly, what a surprise that lebron's daddy jimmy mc clelland was
in prison most of his life and his mama dated only convicts thereafter.

that's what she knows; ghetto from the word go.

nevertheless, he went off to live and be raised by a caring
white family that nurtured his athletic abilities and talent.

( hence, the dennis rodman story )

so when his mama stands up and acts the ONLY way she knows
best, GHETTO, lebron, as a father and a man, it doesn't even
take an expert lip reader to see it was more than we interpreted;

" woman, sit your black ass down. "

the most interesting thing about the whole exchange was the
quietness and looks upon the celtic players standing there;

in their minds it was more like, " no you didn't "

65.
even further, during his after game interviews, in lebron's
actually words, " no, i KNOW my mama, we good. "

which really means, he understands, loves and
accepts who and what is mother is; GHETTO.

he only spoke to her in a voice
and demeanor she understood.

in a tone that's right from the streets......

there's no harm or foul here;

as far as his relationship with his
mama, as he said, " no, no, we good "

66. As an African American woman, I recommend that all indivisuals that think America has come a long way as far as race is concerned should get on these web sites. Some of the views are amazing. Since the comments are posted covertly, it just makes you wonder who is saying these disparging remarks. I would love to think that it is the sterotypical toothless trailer park dweller but something tells me that is not who it is. Is it my neighbor who waves at me every morning. Maybe it's the person who works across the hall from me. Sighhhhhhhh. Depressing.

67. I was at that game, three rows behind his mom, and that is exactly what he said. In his defense though, she got in the middle of a bunch of NBA players spouting off about hurting her baby. Somebody needed to tell her to sit down! He publicly apologized for using an explative and apologized to his mom. Hey, If I had just gotten man handled the way he did, my temper would be a little sparked too.

68. Lebron is an idiot, but If you think whitemen don't talk to their mother like that then you're a bigger IDIOT!

70. That's an improper word use. It should be: "THAN scream..." not "then scream..." Brad grammar, errr.

71. "I told her to sit down, in some language I shouldn't have used," James said. "Thank God today wasn't Mother's Day. All I could think about is her. ... I know my mother. It's fine, we're good."
