When LeBron speaks, people listen. James has never been shy about making a political statement. The Lakers star has even backed up some controversial takes about the Chinese government.

LeBron’s latest statement is one we can all agree on. James posted an Instagram photo with a very poignant message. Hate is a learned behavior, he noted. The message was printed on the t-shirt LeBron was wearing.

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his religion, or his background. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
