It's               no               great               stretch               to               say               that               race               has               been               the               dominant               theme               in               the               history               of               America.

From               the               original               sin               of               slavery               to               the               insidious               evil               of               Jim               Crow               to               the               current               day               shades-of-gray,               "is               it               or               is               it               not               racism"               quandaries,               the               struggles               regarding               race               are               woven               deep               into               the               fabric               of               American               life               and               never               more               than               a               millimeter               removed               from               the               hearts,               minds               and               souls               of               its               people.

But               even               the               most               tragic               historical               patterns               can               at               times               take               a               farcical               turn,               and               so               it               was               with               the               emergence               in               the               1990s               of               the               self-described               "angry               white               males,"               who               viewed               themselves               as               victims               of               racial               and               cultural               intolerance               because               of               the               color               of               their               skin               -               a               position               many               of               them               trumpet               to               this               day.

Wallowing               in               a               morass               of               self-pity,               these               wimpy               warriors               blame               political               correctness,               affirmative               action,               feminism               and               God-only-knows-what               for               their               descent               into               second-class               citizenship.

Convinced               that               they               had               been               wounded               because               of               their               whiteness,               these               put-upon               palefaces               have               taken               up               the               battle               cry               of               "reverse               racism"               as               the               explanation               for               their               plight.

True,               they               are               able               to               garner               a               modicum               of               sympathy               from               the               simple-minded,               but               most               folks               looked               upon               their               bizarre               claims               of               societal               victimization               as               amusingly               preposterous.
               This               brings               us               to               the               most               recent               example               of               the               trivialization               of               race               and               racism:               the               fallout               from               "The               Decision"               by               LeBron               James               to               "take               his               talents               to               South               Beach"               and               play               for               the               Miami               Heat.

(Actually               a               better               title               for               this               ESPN-spawned               fiasco               would               be               "The               Deception,"               since               based               on               subsequent               evidence               it               has               become               clear               to               many,               including               this               writer               -               who               has               covered               the               Cleveland               Cavs               for               the               last               dozen               years               -               that               James               had               been               planning               to               leave               since               at               least               2008               and               colluded               with               DwyaneWade               and               Chris               Bosh               to               make               it               happen.)
               Shortly               after               James'               announcement,               Cavalier               owner               Dan               Gilbert               issued               a               blistering               denunciation               of               his               departing               superstar,               calling               him               -               among               other               things               -               narcissistic               and               claiming               that               he               quit               on               the               team.

As               the               media               all               over               the               country               boiled               over               in               its               analysis               of               James               departure               from               Cleveland,               all               acknowledged               his               legal               right               to               leave               but               most               criticized               him               -               some               very               harshly               -               for               the               method               he               chose               to               announce               it               and               for               how               he               humiliated               the               fans               of               Cleveland               in               the               process.
               However,               as               the               debate               raged               on,               it               didn't               take               long               for               three               of               the               usual               suspects               -               Jesse               Jackson,               New               York               Times               sportswriter               Bill               Rhoden               and               legendary               running               back               Jim               Brown               -               to               introduce               the               institution               of               slavery               into               the               discourse               by               asserting               that               Gilbert               was               acting               like               a               slavemaster               who               regarded               James               as               nothing               more               than               his               personal               chattel.

Let's               just               say               that               the               most               generous               comment               one               can               make               about               purportedly               intelligent               people               who               appear               incapable               of               recognizing               the               distinction               between               an               actual               slave               and               a               basketball               player               with               a               $100               million               contract               is               that               they               are               simply               guilty               of               unwitting               hyperbole               and               leave               it               at               that.
               As               it               turned               out,               the               only               prominent               public               figures               who               specifically               injected               the               subject               of               slavery               into               the               immediate               aftermath               of               James'               announcement               were               the               aforementioned               trio.

But               Brown               continued               to               keep               the               race               card               rolling               a               few               weeks               later               by               characterizing               his               demotion               from               a               $500,000               position               as               a               glorified               hand-holder               for               Browns'               team               owner               Randy               Lerner               to               a               mere               $100,000               shill               for               the               organization               by               writing               a               letter               in               which               he               astonishingly               invoked               buck               dancing,               monkeys,               mythical               slave               master               Willie               Lynch               and               the               fact               that               he               plays               golf               at               a               Cleveland-area,               largely               black               course               in               support               of               his               indignant               refusal               to               take               the               job               offered               him.
               This               brings               us               to               James'               comments               last               week.

In               response               to               a               question               from               CNN's               Soledad               O'Brien               regarding               whether               he               thought               race               played               a               part               in               the               reaction               to               him               leaving               Cleveland,               James               mechanically               said.

"I               think               so,               at               times               ...

It's               always,               you               know,               a               race               factor."               LeBron               uttered               these               words               as               if               he               were               talking               about               what               he               had               for               breakfast.

O.Brien               didn't               follow               up               with               a               probing               question               because               to               do               so               would               have               been               tantamount               to               following               up               on               a               hiccup.

A               day               or               so               later               the               shallow               superstar               was               asked               if               he               wanted               to               amend               his               statement               and               evasively               muttered,               "I               stand               by               it,"               as               if               even               in               his               perennial               state               of               obliviousness               he               had               an               inkling               that               there               was               a               chewing-gum-for-the-mind               aspect               to               his               earlier               remark               that               could               not               withstand               even               the               trifling               brand               of               scrutiny               applied               to               him               by               the               obsequious               horde               of               writers               that               surround               him               daily.
               In               the               sheer               insipidness               of               his               responses,               James               had               done               the               seemingly               impossible               -               he               had               taken               the               ultimate               hot-button               topic               and,               by               the               sheer               force               of               his               perfunctory               thoughtlessness,               neutered               it.

Put               another               way,               if               race               has               been               the               thunderously               roaring               soundtrack               of               American               life,               LeBron's               assertion               failed               to               even               reach               the               level               of               elevator               music.

Like               the               knee-jerk               cries               of               racial               victimization               by               self-pitying.

angry               white               men               or               aging,               embittered               running               backs               or               self-serving               media               hacks,               LeBron's               vacuous               words               seem               to               be               part               of               a               disturbing               trend               which               is               destroying               critical               discourse               on               the               issue               of               race               by               replacing               it               with               diversionary               babble               full               of               meaningless               soundbites               and               hollow               fury,               signifying               nothing.
