LeBron James and Dwyane Wade Addressed Racial Injustice With A Powerful Speech ‘Enough is enough…’

The country is in the middle of a crisis, and the death of George Floyd only adds to the unfortunate situation. The African-American man died after a police officer pinned him down with the knee pressed against his neck. Dwyane Wade took to Instagram to share a video, and LeBron James, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony joined him. This is not the first time for LeBron and other high-profile athletes to address racial injustice.

The NBA superstars delivered a really bold message. Groups of citizens in Minneapolis protest in the streets, demanding justice for George Floyd. Wade’s video, “4 years later, and this speech is even more relevant now,” is here to open our yes.

The superstars opened the 2016 ESPYs with a message on racial discrimination, gun violence and police brutality. LeBron, Paul, Wade and Melo used their popularity as a platform to voice out millions around the globe.

The US has been dealing with gun violence, racial prejudice and police brutality. LeBron and his squad believe it is the real time to talk about the problem.

Melo was the first to talk. He urged his citizens to take a note on the real situation.

“The system is broken,” he said. “The problems are not new. The violence is not new. And the racial divide definitely is not new. But the urgency to create change is at an all-time high.”

Paul joins LeBron to address racial injustice

Paul talked about the innocent black men who died after being shot by the police. Wade ordered the shootings to stop.

“The shoot-to-kill mentality has to stop. Not seeing the value of black and brown bodies has to stop. But also, the retaliation has to stop. The endless gun violence in places like Chicago, Dallas, not to mention Orlando. It has to stop. Enough. Enough is enough.”

LeBron believes we should be part of the change. Each of us.

“It’s time to look in the mirror and ask ourselves what are we doing to create change. It’s not about our responsibility to the tradition of activism,” he said.“Speak up. Use our influence. And renounce all violence. And most importantly, go back to our communities, invest our time, our resources, help rebuild them, help strengthen them, help change them.”
