LeBron James Launches Group Aimed At Protecting Voting Rights | Morning Joe | MSNBC
THIS is what it looks like to “Make America Great”. For Real. LeBron Setting a good example for us all.
Unlike Wussolini the draft-dodging hate-monger.
@Cyrs M Communist-Democrats are not interested in your facts, Cyrs.
@Ellen Peba can’t wait to see the tears in your face when Trump losses the election
@Htown Rockets First of all, you’re a poor writer–can you improve your skills?? For 2020, Votes MIGHT be counted by Tues night, Nov 3rd, but we may not hear results until around 3 AM EST Wednesday. It was around 3 AM Wednesday that hilly called to admit her loss. Find Jesus, H.
@Htown Rockets Online necro-nazis like that are already planning medics and bail money for the next riot they’ll incite.
LEBRON continue to support CHINA.. LEBRON you are very OBIDIENT…. BTW where’s JUSSIE SMOLLETT…???
Real life hero king of court
Laura Ingraham, eat your heart out “Biatch”
Dribble that!😎
Nah
I pray more people with the same celebrity as LBJ will do the same and help mark change
They will! Mind you a lot of people in America are followers (No Pun intended) Whatever they see the majority do, or what’s popular everyone else follows!
@Big Mucci true you cant take celebrities seriously because they will go for whatever is popular in order to gain more fans
Black business owners have long complained that they have little access to banking and finance. Let’s see LeBron, Oprah, Magic, Jordan, and other wealthy black americans start up a black banking network.
@Corey Ham oprah and Jordan will do what they have been doing talking about helping black people just not in America. They give to other countries but not the people right here with them
Lebron James: Five Humongous Charitable Donations
moneyinc.com/lebron-james-five-humongous…
Lebron donated $2.5 million to the exhibit, joining Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson in contributing. Lebrom has said that Ali was an important inspiration to him as an…
Author: Garrett Parker. He invested in the project — both financially and personally. James and Savannah make public appearances as much as their schedule permits, while LBJ even has personal relationships with some of the students.
James also saw to it that these kids will have a path after high school, partnering with the University of Akron to provide free tuition for every graduating student covered under the pre-existing Akron I Promise Network Scholarship. LeBron’s foundation has pledged $41.8 million in scholarships. https://clutchpoints.com/lebron-james-donations-over-the-years/
*THIS MAN IS A SPECIAL HUMAN & THOSE WHO WORK IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIM* LOVE THIS MAN! STAY BLESSED MR. JAMES!!
Black voting rights? Wtf does that even mean, are you on drugs?
what a bloke.. top lad
What?
@The Last Knicks Fan it’s a thing non american english speakers say like aussies and pommies. when we respect someone its what we say.
Kudos to LeBron! “Still waters run deep.” Let your light shine, my brother!
LEBRON… Continue to support CHINA…. LEBRON very OBIDIENT….. BTW where’s JUSSIE SMOLLETT..????
@TILT What does jussie Smollett have to do with anything.
@Dinerokid 16 Just ask JUSSIE SMOLLETT… Honesty and INTEGRITY
@TILT Again he doesn’t have nothing to do with this. You are stupid.
@TILT You brought up somebody’s name that wasn’t even relevant. To what’s going on here. He has no relevance to the topic of this video.
LEBRON best EVER.keep up the great work.black people needs leadership from LEBRON and others
I’m not a Liberal or a Conservative. But that coming from Lebron James is hugely hypocritical. The same guy who defends the Chinese government vs the Hong Kong protesters on Democracy. Lebron only cares about that Money .
@Project Dronesexuality You have COMMON SENSE…. 💪💪💪💪💪
Folks, PLEASE NOTE: Ernesto Gastelum, Jason, TILT, MrLilfee, Ali B, Gooey 911 and K K are downright irrelevant imbecile materials. They could not have cared less about Americans. They are paid peanuts by putain putin to take time off from regular mushrooms picking jobs in Moscow and bark out disinformation using multiple accounts. Most of us ignore these cretins
@IMPEACHED TRUMP CANNOT WIN WITHOUT CHEATING Ok, JUSSIE SMOLLETT… NANCY WAKANDA is PROUD of you…. Keep FIGHTING for SOCIAL JUSTICE… One Cheesecake at a TIME…
What are you guys even on about?
Combat voter suppression wherever it is found, in black communities and Native American communities too.
@Jason He’s no Bernie, but he’s way less dangerous than trump. In that respect, he’s the closest thing we have to a savior.
@Ernesto Gastelum That’s so old. Get yourself some new rhetoric.
@Jason Drink that kool-aid!
@Jason ??? WTF ???
veganleigh this isn’t disputable it’s fact. Sorry I don’t watch cnn
They need to Immediately, get the Professional Team’s in Georgia, to get on Board!
Jimmy Carter (from Georgia) has a whole organisation that oversees elections in third world countries. America needs him.
They need to help fix Georgia’s politically broken state!
They’d choke away at the last minute anyway
ASAP👍👍👍👍
@Sunshine Deprived I would definitely say that America qualifies as a third world country that needs overseers at voting sites.
Don’t wait for election. People power!
King James for President (he’s taking his talents to the White House)
Maybe not president but definitely has the credentials for HUD chair. Be FAR better than Ben Carson. More articulate as well.
You can’t trust a guy that wears a rug in 2020
Chyna
King James could become Gretchen Whitmer’s running mate in 2024.
It’s been rumored he’s running someday
Take note. This is called stepping up
@Ali B LeBron James isn’t running from anything.
Con -yes and some people on this thread are proving how closed minded and racist they are. Losers.
Do not pay attention to them. PLEASE NOTE: Ernesto Gastelum, Jason, TILT, MrLilfee, Ali B, Gooey 911 and K K are downright irrelevant imbecile materials. They could not have cared less about Americans. They are paid peanuts by putain putin to take time off from regular mushrooms picking jobs in Moscow and bark out disinformation using multiple accounts. Most of us ignore these cretins.
@Dinerokid 16 except when it comes to the freedom of the Chinese. This man is a coward when his pocket is threatened he shuts his mouth. Hero’s of real cause and change will risk everything for what’s right not just when it’s safe
@justin gartside You are dumb bro.
This is why I love King James 🙂
Because he’s in bed with Nike /China sweatshops and human rights abuses?
Hour long lines ? NO THEY WAITED FOR HOURS AND MORE HOURS.
june bug yeah, social distancing played no part, right?
Gooey 911
Riiiiiight…it’s just a democrat problem huh?? Think again
@Gooey 911
Payed for by the GOP,
Can’t you figure that….
Six hours to be exact. It’s disgraceful
@Gooey 911 ok watch how life is when people wake up.. You will wish you never had kids
Your career/fame shouldn’t be on the line for speaking out about something that is morally right
Maybe others feel it’s not morally right.
Key word “shouldn’t ” ..but, this is still white amerikkka ( ask Kap)
Amerikkka
I will definitely donate monthly to this organization. What happened in GA is insane!
@Alic4444 LeBron James argument is as honest as the Credibility of JUSSIE SMOLLETT…
@TILT You care more about Juicy Smollett than black churches, jewish synagogues, and latino americans being attacked by white supremacist terrorists, and men, women, and children being murdered on US soil?
@Alic4444 If it is so bad… In AMERICA… Why are they here??? All these INNOCENT VICTIMS
@TILT They are here because they are better Americans then you are.
@benjaminwayneb Well… You must have such a holy Moral Values scale to judge….. BTW where do you place BARRY and Nancy WAKANDA…???
Wow! Kudos to LeBron. Everyone needs to step up and vote and to insure fair elections.
Glade to see some body standing up for voting rights
??????? Is only black voting rights don’t be racist
Perry Johnson … air freshener!
Re: no confederate flag at NASCAR races. Reminds me of when smoking was banned indoors in my state. The bars and restaurants were gonna go out of business. Indeed, the bar attached to my favorite restaurant was empty for a while. Then the non smokers got a whiff and guess what? They were more crowded than ever.
So tired of racist cheering on black athletes, musicians, celebrities, and accepting them as long as they stay in their lane. Good for James for stepping out of his lane. Take advantage of the moment and do what has been needed for a very long time.
