I disagree with this article’s implicit premise that if Lebron is not offending viewers, he is not being fully truthful. Perhaps Lebron, like most people, doesn’t have that many hard-line positions on controversial topics.

Please stop the fear mongering. Based on the numbers there is a whooping 2 deaths per year due to rabid bats in the US, one in 200 million.

While this is important information, the headline is a bit sensational. Often, bats that end up in your home are just juveniles live in your attic and got lost trying to get out at night. The CDC also says,

I haven’t seen this mentioned, but I always feel like it’s a nice touch when inspecting rare/valuable/collectible machinery to do so with your hands behind your back. It helps keep that grabby smeary impulse at bay, and makes it clear to the owner, if they are present, that your intentions are to look only.

While he deserves criticism for all the reasons mentioned, you’ve laid it on a bit thick.

The Root calls out racism. This notion that black people calling out examples of white racism is itself racism it’s like four year-olds in a playground going “but what are you?” It’s stupid, childish and factually incorrect.

I am black.

F1 Life Lesson: whether you came from no money (Hamilton) or tons of money (this kid, and the rest of F1), someone will find a reason to shit on you and write about it.

Not really though.

We want our racing drivers to have perfect makeup yet look just as beautiful without makeup

Came here to say this, left satisfied. Thanks!

Ah another self-loathing white person. Do you beat yourself up before sleep for being white? 

Great story, now link some of those examples please. Otherwise those are just anecdotal tales. 

Why the fuck are you bringing race in to this? Fuck sakes between all the Tesla / Musk bullshit and this bitter fucked up "journalism" I feel like I'm watching a site I once loved circle the drain. 

Niki Lauda paid his way onto a team as well... Just pointing out that it “COULD” end up great

Hmm, judging from the rampant racism, I’d say it’s from the root.

I can’t tell if this was written using the style sheet from The Root or The Onion.

This is the way “Motorsports” runs.  If you have the money, you get to play.  It’s like complaining how the only reason why LeBron James is in the NBA is because he is 6'8" and super athletic.  Make it prohibitively expensive to play basketball and watch all the 5'8" rich kids play in the NBA.

You can rag on him for coming from a wealthy background all you want, but money doesn’t buy skill, and this kid has enough skill to keep up.

Counterpoint: touch the cars. You won’t hurt ‘em. They will be fine. Get your grubby mitts all over them. Someone can just wipe the prints off later. No harm done.
