Wow, so Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was one of the bullies trying to stop his Black classmates from desegregating Central High in Little Rock in 1957. https://t.co/IZm9DuTUhM pic.twitter.com/G4o7H2G9qp

LeBron James wondered why he has not been asked about the 1957 photo of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones that recently surfaced, after the media were quick to question him about Kyrie Irving.

(2) When the 6 students arrived to they were not opposed by the National Guard (as the Arkansas Governor had vowed), nor local law enforcement, or even leaders from the white business community. However, their path was blocked by more than 500 of their fellow students. pic.twitter.com/urcL9qomLg

(3) Among the crowd of hostile protestor shouting racial epithets while blocking the school’s entrance was Dallas Cowboys owner #JerryJones who managed to fight his way through the crowd of hundreds to be close enough to be photographed along side his football teammates. pic.twitter.com/vNONTXMzJA

(4) After enduring assault & verbal abuse the students were successfully prevented from enrolling in North Little Rock High. Jones and his classmates triumphed in blocking integration of the school for the next 7 years with the help of a terror campaign by the revitalized KKK. pic.twitter.com/ePVu46OzAG

Good on LeBron. I didn't think he had it in him.
And ain't nobody buying Jerry's story that he was there out of curiosity. He was part of the mob.
I watch sports shows every day and First Take on ESPN and Skip and Shannon on Fox sports definitely addressed it.
This is how you do it KWest. But your too much of a simp to act like an intelligent black to confront racism. Dump lover.
Look over that picture a couple more times and see who else you know. He aint the only one in that picture.
LeBron is not the voice of the black community, LeBron is not in the NFL. I'm not a fan and don't care for his opinion. Now, Jerry has some explaining to do.
Jones has some explaining to do....... hypocrite! The media, as always, is very biased...
Bron know to keep his mouth closed on China though.
Jerry Jones should go on a 50-state apology tour and make a million dollar donation to HBCUs, the UNCF, the NAACP, and any other black letter group.
These are the days for awakening and exposure. Kudos to Lebron for using his platform.
Jerry is going to keep on jerrying because one thing he knows for sure. Black folks are no threat to his bottom line.
When we unite, they deflect and get nervous.
@ 1:17 PM… who else do you see in the pic? Is that Herschel Walker standing with them white kids?
No one ask you about Jerry because that's the NFL..just like Lamar, Brady,Tua, Jalen, Dak or Pat Mahomes about Kyrie.
You're reaching, Bron
@6:48 PM
I see your Jezabel mama, yea daddy Jed the Swamp Dawg, ya uncle Dirt Bag, aunt Hoe Down and yea greasy granny Suck Face Pearl in that family portrait.
@ 7:25 PM… that’s the best you got for me?🤣
You’re either over 50 or just super corny. You not even worth ethering! I got thick skin & you out here tryna cut wit a butter knife 😂. Leave the comments up snitch! I can take it.
Jerry had a sexual assault case, was caught at a massage parlor and is a closet racist. Better days ahead when his are finished.
Jones looks like he was ready to suckered punch.
^sucker punch^
🖕🏿🫵🏿
@4:48 pm. Say it louder for the fools on the short bus. Jerry gonna keep Jerrying because Black folks pose no threat to him and his bottom line.
But let that be a Jew that Jerry was tryna prevent from going into something and Jerry would have lost his sponsors just like Kanye.
Jerry needs to be forced to sell his team / give 10 million to all African-American most povish stricken school districts/ attend and pay for several predominantly black neighborhood kids in Texas to see Black Panther and take everyone on a trip to Washington, DC to see the African American Musium / meet with AL Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, President Obama and hear about their up bringing
I'm not surprised by this at all. Jerry has always kept it 100 on how he feels about social issues that affects minorities. He was very vocal on what he would do if any of his players took a knee.
