Former NFL defensive end Marcellus Wiley returned to VladTV for his first interview of 2021. The sports commentator started the interview by discussing the recent riot at the U.S. Capitol building and reacting to LeBron James’ response to the events. LeBron used the incident to point out the double standard in policing, believing that there would have been a more violent response from authorities if the insurrectionists were Black.
Wiley disagreed with LeBron’s reaction and cautioned him against assumptions and generalizations. He added that today’s social media climate conditions people to want to be first and loudest but not the most factually correct. While he agreed that the Trump supporters were wrong, he noted that not everyone in the Trump rally was White and not all Black Lives Matter protests were peaceful.
