In which Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert says he received a flood of racist voicemails after LeBron James exercised his constitutional right to call our only available president a bum.
Because, well, he was being a bum with the whole Warriors invite/disinvite thing.
"I received voicemails ... that were some of the most vile, disgusting, racist [messages]," Gilbert said Friday when he appeared as a guest on a CNBC show. "There's an element of racism that I didn't even realize existed in this country this much."
But, Dan, haven't you heard? We don't have a problem with racism in America. And those people who suggest we might, and we might want to think about doing something about it?
Why, they're just a bunch of spoiled (alternative word: "uppity") black athletes who hate America and don't appreciate the opportunity they've been given (not earned; it's always "given") to make millions of dollars playing a game. And so they should just shut up and play, because those dead African-Americans that Colin Kaepernick keeps whining about had it coming, anyway.
Or so that narrative apparently goes.
