Did these guys not open a dictionary before they said that this was a racist term?

LeBron's camp takes offense at Jackson's remark
After Phil Jackson said LeBron James and his 'posse needs special treatment,' Maverick Carter took offense to the use of the word 'posse' and responded to the Knicks president.
James responded harshly Tuesday to Jackson's use of the term in a recent interview with ESPN's Jackie MacMullan.

James agent Maverick Carter said the following
"I don't care that he talks about LeBron," Maverick Carter told ESPN.com. "He could say he's not that good or the greatest in the world as a basketball player. I wouldn't care. It's the word 'posse' and the characterization I take offense to. If he would have said LeBron and his agent, LeBron and his business partners or LeBron and his friends, that's one thing. Yet because you're young and black, he can use that word. We're grown men."
Carter, a high school teammate of James', has been involved in James' business ventures for more than a decade. He comprises one part of LRMR, the management company founded by James, Carter, Rich Paul and Randy Mims in 2006 that guides the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar's career on and off the court.
