I wonder if #LeBronJames had a more difficult week the 21st Century slaves whom he ignores by giving China a pass for dollars?
What he fails to see is that today's plantations make sneakers, gear, phones, electronics & things besides raw cotton and tobacco.
@KingJames is like a northern cotton fabric maker of the 19th Century, thinking it is never a polite time to speak ill of the slave owners in the south. But always knowing his supply of cheap materials relies upon slave labor, even if he doesn't own them himself.
In the 21st Century, Nike & the other manufacturers are the slave holders. The people in China running their plants are the overseers. The Chinese Communist Party & government are the Confederacy, Democrats & state governments that protected the 'right' to own slaves.
The slaves of this century are making sneakers with #LebronJames name on them. The Martin Luther King Jrs. of China are in the streets of Hong Kong. While @KingJames remained silent, China filled concentration camps with #Uighurs for being of the wrong ethnic minority group.
But LeBron doesn't want to upset his $1,000,000,000+ sneaker deal with Nike, just because they make them using slave labor in China.
You are making massive money off of modern day slavery, so before you speak about #injustice @KingJames why don't you demand China & Nike end it?
