Kobe is NOT supporting zimmerman. He's just trying to mind his own business and not support anyone, but the hatefilled progs won't allow that.
Kobe Bryant criticizes Lebron James for supporting Trayvon Martin | Mail Online
29 March 2014
LA Lakers star Kobe Bryant has been heavily criticized after saying that he didn't think he should necessarily have an opinion on Trayvon Martin's shooting just because he is African American.
Asked about that, Bryant said he took exception to any idea that Africa-Americans should hold opinions based on their race alone.
'I wont react to something just because Im supposed to, because Im an African-American,' Bryant said.
'Yet you want to talk about how far weve progressed as a society? Well, weve progressed as a society, then dont jump to somebodys defense just because theyre African-American.
The comments have provoked a huge backlash and debate and led to accusations that Bryant is out of touch with real African-American issues.
Civil rights activist Najee Ali, director of Project Islamic H.O.P.E., called for a boycott of all things Bryant.
'Bryant doesnt identify with the struggle that our African-American youth face nationally. So why should we continue to support Bryant who has never truly identified with the African American experience.'
