Bronny James recently went to his senior prom, and a picture of him and his date circulated the internet, Twitter (unsurprisingly) went nuts. In case you were unaware, the son of LeBron James is, in fact, black, but the girl he took to prom was white, which caused some people on Twitter to absolutely erupt.
The comments section of this tweet was where a lot of this went down:
There are some comments that seem genuinely upset that Bronny took a white girl to prom, with people saying things like, âBronny you can do better than that. Come on. Not a good look,â and, âShameful. Love yourself and your culture.â
While some of the comments were very disapproving, some were intensely supportive of Bronnyâs choice in date. Iâm not sure if itâs considered âsocially acceptableâ or not, but whatever it was, those comments were objectively way more hilarious than any of the other ones:
Now, you might call me crazy here, but itâs my controversial opinion that Bronny didnât put too much stock into the girlâs race when he asked her to prom. Thatâs just me, but I have a sneaky feeling he didnât sit there and say, âWell, I have to take a white girl.â I donât know. Maybe Iâm reaching. Regardless of why he chose to take her to prom, the fact that people care so much about it to the point where it was worth it for me to write this blog is absolutely wild. I took a white girl to prom, where was the Twitter explosion for me?
As a black kid who took a white girl to prom multiply years in HS. This exactly the problem with this country. Making something out of nothing. WHY DOES IT MATTER WHAT COLOR THE PERSON IS BRONNY WANTS TO TAKE TO PROM? If a white boy preppy superstar kid took a hood girl to prom I guarantee there wouldnât be a whole article on it. He had nothing to do with frats. I previously enjoyed TFM content in college but after this ridiculous article I felt the need to unfollow. I know the person on the other side of the screen could probably care less but this exactly why some white parents didnât allow their white daughters to go to prom with my black friends and I sure someone is bringing this to light because they donât agree and want to see what everyone else thinks about it. Thanks for listening and I hope you stick to TFM content and not worry about who high school bronny James is taking to prom. Did you not see who he took to prom last year?
