LeBron James is one of the most powerful black men on Earth. Yes, yes, behind Obama, behind some others, but not that many. It is not just because LeBran has the audience through his talent and hard work. It is not just do to his fearless ability to call out what he sees as racism or his donations and charity toward good causes. Some of it comes from being a black man, as rich and powerful as he is, and having still felt racism.

So LeBron pays attention to society’s biggest controversies, and a man as busy as he had time to watch some of the Rittenhouse trial and see some “put on” emotion while Rittenhouse was on the stand. LeBron tweeted out:

“What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court,”

What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court. 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/LKwYssIUmD

Well. Today Rittenhouse appeared on The Blaze’s You Are Here podcast, where he spoke to hosts Elijah Schaffer and Sydney Watson, obviously the majority of the conversation involved the trial, with Kyle even admitting that even going to the protest at all was a bad idea.

But they eventually got around to talking about some of the side issues, when Rittenhouse said something that demonstrated the lack of judgment that got him into this situation in the first place:

“I was a Lakers fan too before he said that. I was really pissed off when he said that because I liked LeBron, and then I’m like, you know, f*ck you, LeBron.”

Umm, Kyle had a chance to just let it go, say something like “emotions were high, I understand, only I know how I felt.” Instead, Kyle went with telling one of the most powerful black men on earth to f*** off.

Nice job, Kyle. You certainly do know how to make things worse.
