LeBron James says Donald Trump has allowed racists to operate without fear

LeBron James: 'We are in a difficult state right now as Americans as well with the leader of our country'. LeBron James has spoken about the corrosive effects of racism – and aimed criticism at Donald Trump – on Martin Luther King Day. "The state of racism will never die, but what we cannot do is allow it to conquer us as people," James said before the Cleveland Cavaliers' game against the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.
