Share on Facebook Share on TwitterBen Shapiro, host of the ‘Ben Shapiro Show’ and Conservative commentator ripped into Lebron James. James is a LA Lakers superstar that recently hit center stage when he made disgusting and outrageous claims about all officers following the death of Jacob Blake. James claimed that the officer might have left his home wanting to harm a black person that day.
“LeBron James — just because the man is very famous and very wealthy and very good at basketball, doesn’t mean he knows what in the hell he’s talking about,” Shapiro said.
Just a side note, James’ net worth is somewhere over $450 Million. He has no idea what life is like for ‘common folk’ and does not represent the ‘black voice’ just because he, himself, is black. Of course, that’s not how the mainstream media sees it, but hey it keeps their ratings going- doesn’t it.
“You have no idea how that cop that day left the house,” James said. “You don’t know if he woke up on this side of the bed, you don’t know if he woke up on the wrong side of the bed, you don’t know if he had an argument at home with his significant other, you don’t know if one of his kids said something to him and he left the house steaming.
“Or maybe,” James added. “he just left the house saying that today is going to be the end for one of these Black people. That’s what it feels like.”
“I don’t give a crap about what it feels like,” the “Ben Shapiro Show” host fired back. “I care about the actual facts of the situation. Feelings don’t matter here … ” he added, calling James’ implication an “abject disgusting lie” with “no evidence to back that [up].”
“The implication that police officers wake up in the morning like, ‘I’m shooting a Black guy today’ is disgusting. It’s disgusting!” Shapiro stressed.
“It turns all Black Americans into victims of the police, which is a lie, and suggests that the removal of the police is the solution, which is an even bigger lie,” he asserted. “And, it suggests that Black people don’t have agency of their own lives in the racist America … which is the biggest lie of all.”
Shapiro resolved that while “all of these athletes have the right to speak –they’re Americans just like everybody else — that doesn’t mean they know what the hell they’re talking about or that what they’re saying is good for the country.”
WATCH
Shapiro is right. James assertion that police officers who ‘wake up’ with the plans to shoot anyone, let alone a black person, is a hateful and ignorant assumption. James seems like he is either influenced by the left’s narrative or a part of it. What do you think? Let me know in the comments below.
