CHICAGO -- Jesse Jackson criticized Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert on Sunday, saying Gilbert sees LeBron James as a "runaway slave" and that the owner's comments after the free-agent forward decided to join the Miami Heat put the player in danger.



His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave. This is an owner employee relationship -- between business partners -- and LeBron honored his contract.


-- Rev. Jesse Jackson on Cavs owner Dan Gilbert's comments about LeBron James

Shortly after James announced his decision last week, Gilbert fired off an incendiary letter to Cleveland's fans, ripping the 25-year-old and promising to deliver a title before James wins one. He called James' decision "cowardly" and later told The Associated Press he believes James quit during a handful of Cavaliers playoff games.

"He has gotten a free pass," Gilbert told the AP in a phone interview late Thursday night. "People have covered up for [James] for way too long. Tonight we saw who he really is."

Jackson said Gilbert's comments were "mean, arrogant and presumptuous."

"He speaks as an owner of LeBron and not the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers," the reverend said in a release from his Chicago-based civil rights group, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. "His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave. This is an owner employee relationship -- between business partners -- and LeBron honored his contract."

Messages were left Sunday night seeking comment from Gilbert, the Cavaliers and James.

Jackson also called Gilbert's comments an attack on all NBA players and said the owner should face a "challenge" from the league and the players' association.

NBA spokesman Tim Frank declined comment.

It's true how society don't want LeBron to move to South Beach with spectacular views. They're like uhh, "He's a trader he could never be a winner" I'm like ooh, what's a young brother to do? He bring his brothers to the city, give a feeling that he don't give a fuck, he just chilling watching Franklin's stack high as fuck. Old Man, don't blow his high. Especially if you don't know his life. Don't make him bring Sharpton in it cause he's dark-skinned or dude with the 'fro from the Rainbow Coalition. He's a victim of a single parent household, born in a mousehole, mousetrap. People wanna know, how so, how LeBron get up out that, here, yeah he snatched rebounds he per-se-vered...

Of course he drinks Bud. His family owns the distributorship. That's one of the main reasons Fritzy hates black folks. The Jacksons are doing their best to kick Miller off Rush Street.

I know Reason knew that. I just wanted the rest of you to know why Fritzy and Mike Nort are so anti-Jackson.

Listen here you little dizzy bitch. Why the fuck don't you learn to use the quote function so we know what the fuck you are trying to say?

You expect us to decipher your inane tripe by osmosis? Be clear woman, for Christ's sake.

:D I was talking to Spaulding. If I was going to try and help you become more regular, I'd suggest going on the pill. It will straighten out your cycle in less than a month.

Spaulding, you have far too much class to be getting into an argument like this.

You are not going to have much support for that thought SS. :lol:
