SANDUSKY, Ohio -- LeBron James called for healing in the wake of the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend and also took a swipe at President Donald Trump at his annual family reunion charitable event on Tuesday.

"I know there's a lot of tragic things happening in Charlottesville," James said before leaving the stage at Cedar Point amusement park. "I just want to speak on it right now. I have this platform and I'm somebody that has a voice of command, and the only way for us to get better as a society and for us to get better as people is love.

"And that's the only way we're going to be able to conquer something as one. It's not about the guy that's the so-called president of the United States, or whatever the case. It's not about a teacher that you don't feel like cares about what's going on with you every day. It's not about people that you just don't feel like want to give the best energy and effort to you. It's about us. It's about us looking in the mirror. Kids all the way up to the adults. All of us looking in the mirror and saying, 'What can we do better to help change?' And if we can all do that and give 110 percent ... then that's all you can ask for.

"So, shoutout to the innocent people in Charlottesville and shoutout to everybody across the world that just want to be great and just want to love. Thank you, and I love you all."
