JAMES GITAMAY
Taliwala ning nagkainit nga NBA Finals tali sa defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers ug Golden State Warriors, nabiktima si LeBron James sa racial discrimination pinaagi sa pag-spray sa gate sa iyang panimalay didto sa Los Angeles nga daw sa nagtamay sa mga Amerkanong Negro didto sa US.
Mga wa mailhing tawo ang mi-spray og masakit nga pulong sa atubangang gate sa balay sa star player sa Cavaliers nga nadiskobrehan kagahapon sa buntag.
Tungod niini, mopahigayon og makuting imbestigasyon ang Los Angeles Police Department.
Wala si James niadtong higayona apan gituohan nga makita ra sa surveilance camera ang gabuhat sa ingon.
Si James nga nahinabi sa mga tigbalita didto sa Oakland, diin atoa karon ang kinatibuk-ang puwersa sa Cavaliers alang sa Game One
sa finals nagkanayon “if this is to shed a light and continuing to keep the conversation going on my behalf then I’m OK with it.”
“My family is safe, they’re safe and that’s the most important,” dugang ni James. “But it just goes to show that racism will always be a part of the world, a part of America. You know hate in America, especially for African Americans, is living every day. Even though that it’s concealed most of the time, you know people hide their faces and will say things about you and when they see you they smile in your face, it’s alive every single day.”
“No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, being black in America is tough,” saysay ni James. “We have a long way to go for us as a society and for us as African-Americans until we feel equal in America. But my family is safe, and that’s what’s important.”
