The statistical difference in reaction between blacks and non-blacks could be interpreted in two ways:

- LeBron's way - non-black people let race affect their judgement and therefore, feed their anger (vs. the neutral stance of black people)

or

- as some writers would suggest, "black protectionism" is serving to neutralize the reactions of blacks to "The Decision" (vs. the unfettered reaction of non-blacks)

In the end, it's irrelevant and deflection for a poor business decision.
