Summary

You probably haven’t heard the name Ethan Liming. Liming was a 17-year-old beaten to death on the campus of LeBron James’ “I Promise” School in Akron, Ohio. LeBron wore a hoodie for Trayvon Martin, took a knee for George Floyd. Other than a tweet wrought with grammatical errors, he is silent for Liming’s murder. It’s because Ethan is white, and the three men arrested for his murder were black. Jason isn't mincing words. “LeBron has smoke for everyone white he believes wrongly takes a life. He has nothing substantive to say when black people take lives. LeBron James is a stereotypical bigot.” James once compared himself to Emmett Till after someone spray-painted the gate to his California mansion. “Liming and his family have far more in common with Emmett and Mamie Till than LeBron James ever will.” Shemeka Michelle stops by to fan the flames of Jason’s fire and wants to know where the “say their name” crowd is hiding. Plus, Steve Kim adds his thoughts on King James and his carefully crafted and politically motivated pandering on social media.

0:24.0	for joining me today. Happy Thursday to you and yours. It's the day before Friday the weekend
0:30.5	is almost here. Oh man, do we have a fantastic show planned for you today? Shemika Michelle is
0:36.0	going to join me. As will Steve Kim and we just got one topic today and I'm going to try to start a
0:44.8	massive fire with an interesting story involving LeBron James and so let's let's don't wait. I got
0:53.1	smoke. I got fire for everybody. Let's get right to it. Let's get this fire started. Five years
0:59.3	ago LeBron James claimed a vandal spray painted the inward on the gate of his Britwood California mansion.
1:08.0	At the time of the alleged incident James and his family primarily resided in Cleveland and James
1:16.2	was in Oakland participating in the NBA final. James's employees removed and painted over the racist
1:25.2	graffiti before police arrived and could investigate. Nevertheless, when discussing the crime
1:32.4	from the NBA's highest platform James analogized what he and his family experienced to the mother of
1:39.4	Emmett Till. The 14 year old black boy murdered in Mississippi in 1955 for Whistling at a white woman.

2:06.3	You know race and what's going on comes again but it just goes to show that that racism will always
2:17.1	be a part of the world, a part of America. And hate in America especially for African-American
2:31.2	is living every day. And I think back to Emmett Till's mom actually just kind of one of the first
2:36.2	days I thought of and the reason that she had an open casket is because she wanted to show the world
2:42.4	what her son went through as far as a hate crime and you know being black in America.
2:53.0	So it's like it doesn't no matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no
2:59.9	matter how many people admire you. You know being black in America is tough. And we got a long
3:11.6	way to go you know for us as a society and for us as African-Americans until we
