Your community?

You right wingers worship the wealthy. Why are you drawing the line with Lebron?

BTW...how do YOU know what Obama’s presidency did for black folks? You hated him and didn’t vote for him anyway.

So. And? There aren’t American children to adopt?

You don’t know his politics. I don’t either.

This is about his school.

Lebron is getting a nice tax deduction for what he does and great that he does something with his money.

Actually I respect more what Laura says than Lebron as Laura has a better education and more experience than an athlete.
Laura Ingraham doesn’t take tax deductions?

In other words, let’s hope that it fails. Lol

Zero objectivity.

Anyone who remotely says anything bad about Trump gets the same treatment. Haven't you realized that yet. Trump supporters are the biggest hypocrites and snowflakes in world history.

I have that attitude with most everything that's billed to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, don't you?
Or, do you believe the (generally) B.S. marketing right from the gate? It's NOT negative, it's called being realistic...

Yeah,yeah, yeah, we know, it's raaaaacist... As I said before, it's NOT anything other than being realistic. Just because it's built and just opened means nothing, let's wait and see if it succeeds.

Where I live right now there's been some schools built that were billed as the best thing for educating kids, promised the moon and in a short time they went bankrupt due to fraud, mismanagement etc. and then closed without notice to the families or staff, just a letter on the door.

So yeah, wait and see...
