And, I think we all know."says the pro-Trump mob attack on D.C. is another prime example of Black people being treated differently in the U.S. ... claiming the handling of the incident proves"we live in 2 different Americas."

The NBA superstar -- wearing a shirt with the message"Do You Understand Now?" -- spoke about the riot after the Lakers' loss to the Spurs Thursday night ... and put all the blame on President"The events that took place yesterday was a direct correlation of the president that's in the seat right now ... of his actions, his beliefs, his wishes," James told reporters.

"He cares about nobody besides himself. Nobody. Absolutely nobody. He doesn't care about this country. He doesn't care about his family."LBJ says anyone who can't see the difference in the handling of the Black Lives Matter movement and the Capitol riots needs to take a step back ...

As for where we go from here, James says he will use the incident as an opportunity to continue to uplift and educate Black people ..."even when times like yesterday feel like it was another gut punch to us."

Not really congress never passes vote for anything to improve the black communities

Why is it have to be a black thing

Wtf did that have to do with black people you dumb ass. Maybe u should of went to college

🙄

He is just saying that because he is a dumb ass. I forgive him

😂💩😂💩😂💩😂💩

But why?!? It was ALL white people (that I seen)

His mom had sex with a teammate in cleveland, that's a punch in the gut!!!

No.. this was a punch to the gut. Not a word from the NBA, NFL or WNBA. I like Lebron but this silence when the most innocent people are slaughtered is sickening.

Bullshit!

These are Terrorists.

How so when black people matched as well?

Why don't you report real news!

KOOP3R13 suck a dick

Wtf he’s talking about ...

Lebron treats poor black people differently.

Did not see any blacks there.

Agreed because the cops did squat if it was a Black Lives Matter demonstration the clubs and tear gas guns would have been all over the place

Ahh the poor China victim.. 🖕

Stop celebrities about the Capital Riot. Ask actual people what the, riots. Stop asking Lebron and all these celebrities about this. Talk to real people about it.

They tore a federal building up and went home to get their things in order just in case the law was coming for them. We would have never been afforded that opportunity

Why does he continue to make EVERYTHING about race ? It was a gut punch to AMERCANS .... no matter what color they are. Just keep fueling the fire LB you are doing a great job😳

China?

We all eat and shit so we all the same no matter your color not sure why he feels sorry for people they make they own way. Obviously his people were smart enough not to storm the capital he should be proud of that instead of the negative.

Beijing Bron

Stop whining.

Not surprised.

For Rappers looking for Beats I Just wanna say I got that Heat 🔥🚀🚀🚀

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol. One white woman that was unarmed was shot and killed. What a dumb ass statement by him.

So oppressed. So brave. Is he safe

He may just be the biggest racist out there.

What happened at Capitol Hill had NOTHING to do with black people so as for why black people wanna make it about them is beyond me.

🙄 omfg change the record already 🙄

Black ppl looted and broke/burnt down innocent ppl businesses. Police or government did nothing about it. They didn’t even send the national guard to stop you fools. So stop bitching

Again .. playing the race card. I'm sick to death of it and trust me, I'm not the only one .. enough is enough!!

Why?

Ask this idiot what’s this? F- U

Everything isn’t about u dude

I understand & agree with the point of his statement. I guess my question is how much force is enough? 5 dead not enough? More satisfied with 10, maybe 15? Sad day for all..

Repeat, Repeat,Repeat!

Yes Lebron, the police would have been ready for them because ‘your kind’ have a lengthy track record of burning, looting and murdering. 'If those were my kind storming the Capitol, what would have been the outcome? And, I think we all know.'

It was a gut punch to America.

Lol

5 dead (1 cop), 80+ arrested - they're still looking for the rest - and 50 cops injured. I'm willing to bet my entire savings these were almost ALL white people, but yada, yada, yada, black people were victims again.

But KingJames never talks about this 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

✊🏾KOOP3R13

stick to basketball queen james

Only the racists don't believe this is true, look through the replies, you will see them.

Lebron James is China's little bitch. Drivel from his mouth.

This act is getting old

👁👁TMZ tmzlive TMZSports mediabias LiberalHypocrisy

White privilege on full display

When will this clown go away?

Sad but true

Because everything always needs to be about race.

For some reason I think he says that about everything

Says it’s hard to be a black man in America: made hundreds of millions playing the sport he loves all while being a black man in America.

Lebron once again fails at race baiting

Shut up and dribble

King James didn’t seem to have a problem with these assholes making a “Target run”.

How, in God’s name, was the capital hill fiasco a punch in gut to black people This so stupid’

How bout those Chinese people that make your shoe for pennies, hypocrite.

Oh yeah he’s a basket ball player player who shouldn’t have an opinion correct? This just proves the racial and weak and wicked ways of this world cokiziod

He’s a Skid Mark on the Fabric of America

Keep up the race-baiting!! It will bring us closer together!! 😃

Incoming haters and stick to basketball crowd 5...4...3...2...1

He’s 100% right.

🙏🏾

Putting it mildly

LIARS!!!!
