CONTEXT2 hours ago I had no idea 'posse' could be offensive.
The word posse isn't offensive. Referring to a group of people who have built a company around handling and maintaining the business dealings of a billionaire (who just happen to be black) athlete as a "posse" is offensive. These are weed carriers. These aren't Lebron's boys from back home who don't do anything but drive his cars and spend his money. They put in real work. It's a respect thing.
Debra Lee is the CEO of BET. If she walked into a board room meeting with Phil Jackson...do you think he'd call her team of workers a "posse"?
My bad.
