“I think back to Emmett Till’s mom, actually. That’s one of the first things I thought of,” he said. “The reason she had an open casket was that she wanted to show the world what her son went through as far as a hate crime, and being black in America. No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, being black in America is tough. We’ve got a long way to go, for us as a society and for us as African Americans, until we feel equal in America.”
I'm not thinking he's comparing himself to Till. I don't have an issue with it. He's right, racism is still there and always will be and he's not wrong in saying being black in a majority Hispanic and white country isn't without unique challenges.

No, no, no, you're just wrong. Sorry for not being sorry. 
"No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, being black in America is tough.”
Emmett Till wasn't rich or famous or admired. He was just murdered. Strangely, Lebron was not murdered. Dumbshit has no idea what "tough" is.
Go Warriors.
