NBA star LeBron James yells at mom to 'sit yo' a** down' when she tried to defend him after a foul.

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James was driving to the basket in Game 4 of his team's playoff series with Boston when opponent Paul Pierce wrapped him up and momentum carried them both into the courtside crowd under the basket. Gloria James, sitting near where her son had been dragged out of bounds, jumped up to his defense and started screaming at Pierce. Any good lip reader could see that LeBron glared at his mother and shouted "Sit your a** down!" before walking back onto the court. (Watch the video.)

that is a tremendous fight for Black men to wean themselves from their black mothers. Black mothers have been the ruin of many a young black man with their enabling and insecure approach to raising a black boy child.

Could it be they do it on purpose to get even with the Black man? Is this too a hold over from enslavement?

I think this was more of a reaction to LeBron's desire to be an independent black man, then his paternal insticts to control the woman.

interesting non the less and telling

Lebron was in the right. The lady's son should know that there is a hazard of gettin' hit by the players if you are under the ring.I would've yelled at her to.

You got all of that from a basketball game? I think his mother was reacting and not thinking and I think he told her to sit down because he plays for the NBA. Just my opinion:)

I do agree she should not have got involved, but I don't care how much money you make, you shouldn't curse your mother, he could have said it in a more mannerable way. My mom would have came on the court, if I had said that to her, and fouled me for real.LOL

Lebron don't catch a whooping when you get home.

truthfully, there are alot of domineering black mothers out there, but you'll find those in any race. i don't know your motives for this post, but, if his mother was a crack head and hadn't been there when he was growing up, i'm sure you'd have sojmething to say about that. no way she should have reacted the way she did, and it did look bad. but you're just taking it to a whole different level in the things that you are saying. why don't you listen to some of the other things he says about how great of a mother he has. how she take care how him, and was just a good mother. he has said this several times.

next level:

yes there are of "any" race, but in other "races" the male is not demeaned as is the Black man in white culture. So his fight is even against his own mother for his "manhood."

Don't be silly with the "crack head" comment. Of course I would have something to say about it if his mother wasn't there, but that ain't the case here.

I'm sure she provided for his needs and she should be commended for this, but that changes nothing as far as her psychological deep seeded views and feeling towards black men.

This is one unseen aspect of white supremacy that tears the black family apart.

Let me give you a real example. Where I live in the "south" there are young men here who have no motivation because racism is a PART..(please not the entire") of their reasons for not gettting jobs..however:

They don't really need a "job" because their mothers, aunts, female cousins, and girlfriends will feed them and give them a place to live becaue they are so "helpless", "confused" and just can't handle the big bad white man's racism. When they get tired of staying with one, they'll move to another and the cycle continues.(a remeant of the African extended family concept)...

but in THIS culture, with these systems of white supremacy, this is dangerous for young black men but black women, especially mothers, think they are helping by not allowing her son, who is weakned by racism, stand up..

That's is why I THINK James told he not just to sit down, but shit her azz down. It was a reaction to her "protecting" of this black man..

anyway, it makes no difference, people just think what they feel make them comfortable...

easy...

My God, you really are completely infected with stupidity. Now you want to blame White people for the complete lack of respect Black males show towards females?

If White males are to blame then can you explain to me why Black males in Africa have sex with 6 year old girls because they believe it will cure them of AIDS? Can you explain why Black males have, for thousands of years, waged war in Africa and enslaved other Blacks, long before any "White" people got there? Can you explain why Black males STILL ENSLAVE BLACKS to this very day?

Bastion of civilization, indeed. I'm surprised people like you haven't found a way to blame White people for Blacks being Black. The next conspiracy you'll talk about is how Whites are trying to get rid of all Blacks by using females of other races to entire Blacks to mix and make more little Obamas. Hop to it son!

Boy if that was my son he would still be spitting teeth my husband would have knocked his ass out but my son knows better than to talk to me that way. But I also know better than to disrespect myself or my son that way. So it goes both ways RESPECT!

*sigh* Have you travelled anywhere? Ever? There are many "overprotective" mothers. It is not a holdover from slavery and a mother is certainly not trying to HARM her son.

She just saw someone she thought was trying to hurt him and she responded. He did NOT have to use foul language at her. This shows he has ZERO respect for her. And probably love too.

I would have left and never darkened his door again. He would never have to worry about speaking or saying anything to me ever again for just being worried about him.

Unbelievable. I knew I did'nt like him, but I couldn't say why, I just felt something. Now I know why. A man who doesn't have respect for his mother is the lowest human ever. I have met men like this and they are all like wild animals, race has nothing to do with it.

My husband's mother wasn't even there for him for a while and he has enough sense to have respect for her, the way I have respect for my father, though I wasn't raised by him.

LeBron James is trash and I can't wait for his demise.

She shouldn't have gotten up like that and started yelliing, but what do you expect? She is obviously a "ghetto trudy" and she just stood up for him in the way she knew how. The man's name is LeBron for goodness sakes...How well versed in "ladies behavior" could she be? This is something that middle classed and upper classed women learn.

Lower classsed women usually don't have men to defend them so they are used to doing it for themselves.

She was just defending her son in her mind. He ought to have more respect for her.

He is the lowest kind of garbage and I intend to write him AT HOME and tell him so...

Thanks to people like you messing up our families...that is the other side of it...I don't go there when I see white men from rural areas spit or I can see the crack of their behinds when they work "blue collar" jobs...or when they use country language.

If your society stopped picking on Black women, especially the poorer ones who are vulnerable, then we would not have to defend ourselves all the time.

And get off our forum. Don't Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh have "instructions" for you today, monkey?

OMG!! i believe you have taken this situation and blown it completely out of proportion. just from that happening at that game, you have come up with all of this. it's a mother-son relationship, pure and simple. it's not that complicated. i go to hs games for family members, i see white moms, black moms, and moms of different other races acting the same way. this is crazy!! why read more into this than there raslly is?? she's never done this before. so why not just chalk this up to human error and being a mom??

As for the sex thing, it happens in India and the Arabic world too. It is not a new thing. People also did it in Europe, have little girl prostitutes, so that they could avoid getting diseases of the times, like syphillis...

Slavery inflicted by Whites (racist ones, not all of them, just slave owners) and "Jim Crow" and economic segregation destroyed the Black family. I would need hours to explain how, but suffice it to say that slaves were sold off and not allowed to marry (although we created our own ceremonies and such) and Jim Crow and economics forced men away from families.

It is not the fault of the White man per se but rather the governmental policies from the time Black people were brought here. Over time lots of Black people got used to single parent families...it became normal as opposed to not normal. There are other things that affected the way we date and deal with one another. If you read about this in depth, you will find out more.

And we aren't the only people who dealt with this...more single parent families have cropped up in France and Germany ever since WWI and WWII b/c so many men had been killed off.

After WWII, this has become normal and Germany especially has one of the highest single parent family rates in Europe.

There are also many "broken" families amongst the migrant workers of old.
