One of the foremost figures in American and global sports, LeBron James, expressed his stance on the Capitol attack on Wednesday with a strong post on his Instagram account that has 76.8 million followers.
The king has never been more involved in social justice and American politics than in recent months. He was very active for the presidential election and consistently supported Joe Biden. In addition, he was one of the great promoters of the Black Lives Matter movement, which spread around the world.
So it was to be expected that the player of Los Angeles Lakers expressing himself about what happened in the Capitol, something James understood he should do on Thursday with a message in which he could be seen with the emotions overflowing with what happened and wearing a T-shirt with a phrase: ” Do you understand now? “(Take advantage now?)
“I know the answer to that. You still don’t cause it no matter what, you still don’t get convicted, looked like crazy, chained, beaten, hanged, shot for the color of your skin !!!! 2 AMERICKAS in the we live, and it was FULLY ALIVE AND DIRECT yesterday in our nation’s capital, ‘he wrote angrily.
Yesterday, LeBron had shared a video in which a journalist launched a strong analysis as to what happened and the racism plaguing the North American country, which was watched over 200,000 times and added more and more views. I published it in stories with the motto “Dos Americas”, which became a trend on Twitter.
