  1. 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.

    1. @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.

    2. @Htown Rockets Online necro-nazis like that are already planning medics and bail money for the next riot they’ll incite.

    3. LEBRON continue to support CHINA.. LEBRON you are very OBIDIENT…. BTW where’s JUSSIE SMOLLETT…???

    1. 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!

    2. @Big Mucci true you cant take celebrities seriously because they will go for whatever is popular in order to gain more fans

    3. 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.

    4. @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

    5. 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/

  2. *THIS MAN IS A SPECIAL HUMAN & THOSE WHO WORK IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIM* LOVE THIS MAN! STAY BLESSED MR. JAMES!!

    1. @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.

    1. LEBRON… Continue to support CHINA…. LEBRON very OBIDIENT….. BTW where’s JUSSIE SMOLLETT..????

    2. @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.

    1. 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 .

    2. 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

    3. @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…

  3. Combat voter suppression wherever it is found, in black communities and Native American communities too.

    1. @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.

    1. Jimmy Carter (from Georgia) has a whole organisation that oversees elections in third world countries. America needs him.

    2. @Sunshine Deprived I would definitely say that America qualifies as a third world country that needs overseers at voting sites.

    1. Maybe not president but definitely has the credentials for HUD chair. Be FAR better than Ben Carson. More articulate as well.

    1. Con -yes and some people on this thread are proving how closed minded and racist they are. Losers.

    2. 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.

    3. @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

  4. Your career/fame shouldn’t be on the line for speaking out about something that is morally right

    1. @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?

    2. @benjaminwayneb Well… You must have such a holy Moral Values scale to judge….. BTW where do you place BARRY and Nancy WAKANDA…???

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
