LeBron James: ''Jews suck at basketball"

[Dave3]

Sorry, but you are just wrong. The Jewish people and Judaism exist separately. You can be a Jew but not believe in Judaism. The same doesn't not apply for Christians or Muslims. You can be 'of Jewish descent', you can't be 'of Christian descent'.

NVM. Looked it up.

An unrecorded second-hand account is easily denied. James' reps could even claim he said, "these dudes suck at basketball" and he was just misheard. This story won't be a big deal.

Not did you eat

........how Judaism is passed down through blood, this would piss me off to hear and yes honestly I consider Jews to basically be a race.

Jews are not a race and there is some ethnic diversity among Jews. There is a difference between the Jews of Europe and the Jewish population that was from India, or Iraq or Iran.

For example, these are Jews from Ethiopia


Among European populations of Jews the Sephardic Jews who lived in Spain and Portugal before 1492 tend to have darker skin than the Ashkenazi Jews like Woody Allen who lived in middle and eastern Europe.

Also Jewish identity passes through the mother, but it's not spoken in terms of blood or genes, it's considered the Jewish soul passes to the child.

He's right.

U seen Kyle from South Park play basketball? He sucked

wait...

if I am reading this correctly, he simply said the Jews he was playing with sucked at basketball.

How is that offensive?

If I said "These Catholics suck at basketball" would I be making an anti Catholic remark?

I am 100% sure you'd never ever say, "These jews suck at basketball" in public.

Not only he is antisemitic but a poor hardworking guy got suspended 3 days for calling him out? Reminds me of those waiters who called out LeBron for being a poor tipper and then the restaurant owner denying the whole incident to keep LeBron's return business.
