Ingraham's comments came in the run-up to Sunday's NBA All-Star game, in which James captained the winning team. He said Ingraham's criticism only enlarged his message: "The best thing she did was help me create more awareness" during the "best weekend" at the NBA, the athlete said Sunday. "I get to sit up here and talk about social injustice."

"We will definitely not shut up and dribble. ... I mean too much to society, too much to the youth, too much to so many kids who feel like they don't have a way out," James continued.

They can run their filthy mouths all that they want and when someone calls them on their bullshit – it’s RACISM!

Both of these clowns need to take Ingraham’s advice and #JustShutUpAndDribble"

"To me, it was racist," he said. "That was definitely an ignorant comment. I do play basketball, but I am a civilian and I am a citizen of the United States, so my voice is just as loud as hers, I think -- or even louder." #wewillnotshutupanddribble

Ingraham put out her own statement, denying her remarks had racist undertones. “In 2003, I wrote a New York Times bestseller called Shut Up & Sing, in which I criticized celebrities like the Dixie Chicks & Barbra Streisand who were trashing then-President George W Bush. I have used a variation of that title for more than 15 years to respond to performers who sound off on politics ... If pro athletes and entertainers want to freelance as political pundits, then they should not be surprised when they’re called out for insulting politicians. There was no racial intent in my remarks - false, defamatory charges of racism are a transparent attempt to immunize entertainment and sports elites from scrutiny and criticism.”

During the Uninterrupted interview James was asked if wealth had insulated him from racism. He cited his own experience last year, when his house in LA was daubed with racist graffiti. “I’m a black man with a bunch of money. And having a crib in Brentwood and having the word nigger spray painted over my gate – that lets you know that I ain’t too far removed and I still got a lot more work to do.

“No matter how far, money, or access, or how you become in life as an African American man, female, they will always try to figure out a way to let you know that you still beneath them. It’s either one of two things at that point. You either cave into that notion, or you just chalk it up and say: ‘You know what? I’m going to paint over this goddamn gate and I’m gonna make it taller.’”

SEPT. 1, 2016 Things have happened in Louisiana and the injustices that are happening could have happened to one of my family members.

There are a lot of people out there that feel that way. — Eric Reid, San Francisco 49ers safety

AUG. 28, 2016 [The anthem] is important to me. It’s a respect thing, okay? It’s a self-respect thing. It’s a respect for your teammates. It’s a respect for this game.

AUG. 28, 2016 Anytime I talk to my team about that, if there’s personal beliefs or whatever that keep you from doing it, I understand. But at the same time, you know, you’ve got to look at the gifts that we have, the opportunity that we have to play a great game is through the men and women that serve our country. I think that’s an opportunity right there just to show respect, and I think that’s why when you see our team, every one of us are on that line and that’s kind of our way of giving thanks. — Rex Ryan, former head coach

AUG. 28, 2016 I will always stand for the national anthem. I will also acknowledge the fact that racism is real. People deal with it every day. It's wrong. — Kyle Long, Chicago Bears offensive lineman

"The variety of racist attributions cannot be boiled down to a single form that differs only in degree. Nor is there a single emotion that might serve to unify the field of reactions between disdain, fear, distrust, indifference, and disregard . Pointing out that all of these are negative is no help- consider the . . . different reactive behavior these emotions might elicit."
