It's Not Just Dunk the Basketball: LeBron James Issues a Call to Action on Social Issues

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — LeBron James wasted no time turning the NBA’s Disney World bubble into a platform for advocacy on social justice issues, stating Thursday that he wants the Louisville police offers who shot and killed Breonna Taylor to be arrested and encouraging Americans to view “Black Lives Matter” as a reflection of the permanent challenges facing the black community rather than as a temporary “movement.” The Los Angeles Lakers forward, basketball’s biggest star and long one of the most vocal activists among professional athletes, addressed the subjects following a 108-104 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in a scrimmage at Visa Center. “We want the cops arrested who committed that crime,” James said. “As one of the leaders of this league, I want her family to know and the state of Kentucky to know that we feel for her and we want justice.

A group of African-Americans, many of them soldiers who had returned from fighting the First World War, rushed over to help guard the young man. Fighting broke out, then shooting.

Washington, the author and orator, had called it “Black Wall Street.” Soon they were aided by a local National Guard unit with a water-cooled Browning machine gun.

Visible Likes on Social Media Posts Lead to More Spread of Fake News

When people saw that a questionable piece of content had been liked and shared lots of times, they were more likely to share it themselves It’s time to rethink engagement metrics, say the authors of a paper published last week in the Harvard Kennedy School’s Misinformation Review . Mihai Avram , Nicholas Micallef , Sameer Patil , and Filippo Menczer found that “the display of social engagement metrics” — visible displays of how many times a piece of content has been liked and shared, i.e. the norm on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram — “can strongly influence interaction with low-credibility information. The higher the engagement, the more prone people are to sharing questionable content and less to fact checking it.” To keep reading this article, click here.
