And the owner got sucked into a race-bait-debate.

Got it.
Yeah the "controversy" around whole term owner is pretty ridiculous to me. Anyway in that vid Common says what he says that "it's really not being considerate of the history" ?? And just to lay this caveat out beforehand MAYBE I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD THE EXACT SAME LIVED EXPERIENCES OF BEING BLACK OR GROWING UP BLACK...but NBA players are at the very least making $838,464 a year (rookie minimum salary from what I could find) and the title of the guy that pays out that money is bothersome I just can't wrap my mind around it...yeah I get Owners and Slavery and that, but we're talking Unionized MultiMillionaires to compare that to slavery is.....well it's a fucking disservice to the hell actual slavery must have been/was...I mean when Lebron left Cleveland the first time, yeah the Owner acted like a jilted boyfriend who was all in his emotions about the hot chick getting away from him and yeah that's a bad look (it's Cleveland's aura though that town is the living beating heart of the Springsteen classic 'Glory Days'), but Lebron was able to leave without any consequences bar a few hurt feelings...from what I understand slavery didn't work in such a friendly "Go ahead leave! I didn't like you anyway!!! WE COULD HAVE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL!!!!" manner, but hey again not my lived experience (I mean I assume I'm right in my reasoning, but I'm willing to be told I'm wrong and have it explained to me).

(I mean I assume I'm right in my reasoning, but I'm willing to be told I'm wrong and have it explained to me). Nothing to explain, I can only confirm your reasoning.
Common got bit by a bug worse than the flu. Liberalitis.
As comedian Katt Willams said..the flu is so bad it can make you throw up and have to schitt at the same time, so how bad must this new-aged liberalization be?

Slavery is too far removed to use it as a crux. Old school black nationalists (1960s) brought it up for the purpose of separation. Today it is a narrative.

End result my brothers and sisters looking past rich blacks (entertainers, athletes) faults & abilities to help their own . I wanna be in the NBA, NFL make millions, do little for my community, then raise hell when words from whites today are supposed to be the equivalent of actions of whites from generations ago.
Nothing to explain, just lament on how liberals, minorities and extremists on both sides force real men like us to choose a side.

BTW, pick up some Tennessee Earnest Ford & drop that Slim Whitman!
