LeBron James’ Son Targeted with Racist Comments After Taking White Girl to Prom

LeBron James’ teenage son, Bronny, has been blasted online for daring to take a white girl to prom this year.

According to press reports, the 17-year-old high schooler and his young date arrived at the prom in a $326,000 custom Mercedes GT sports car, he in a custom-made blue and black tux and she in a low-cut, strapless white dress.

But while the happy couple seemed to have enjoyed themselves, many black social media users jumped online to heap criticism on Bronny because he didn’t choose a black girl as a date:

One even called Bronny’s white date a gold digger, saying, “Lost another black king to a money hungry white girl.”

Of course, that characterization does not hold much water. The young James scion attends the tony Sierra Canyon School, where tuition costs about $40,000 a year per child, the same school Kylie and Kendall Jenner attended. His date’s family is likely quite wealthy.

Of course, many more pointed out the inherent racism in attacking a young black man for choosing a white girl as a date for prom, so the irony of attacking someone over the color of their date’s skin was not entirely lost.
