Jesse Jackson Calls Racism Over LeBron James Criticism
Rev. Jesse Jackson responds to the following statement on The Ed Show from MSNBC.
Jesse Jackson statement: The Rev. Jesse Jackson blasted the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers for treating Miami-bound LeBron James like a "runaway slave."
The civil rights leader slammed owner Dan Gilbert for calling James "disloyal" and "a coward" in an open letter to Cavaliers fans.
"He speaks as an owner of LeBron and not the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers," Jackson told The Associated Press. "His feelings of betrayal personify a slave-master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave."
