1. Mitch Albom makes it clear in this article that it is not LebBron's race but his attitude and actions that are causing the nation to view him with disapproval. The "race card" is an over-used excuse that LeBron James manipulates in order to avoid taking responsibility for his actions.
2. I agree with Albom. LeBron's actions were self-motivated and prideful, and "ego knows no color."
3. Albom's strongest point in this essay is his use of anecdote. He tells a story that contains the same events as those of LeBron's, but the main character is white. The reader is able to look at LeBron's actions without having his race cloud their judgment. Through the telling of the story, the reader still feels the same emotions towards the offender and gains an understanding that no matter the skin color, those actions are still egotistical and selfish.
