he oppressive contract Lebron chose to sign during Trump's presidency is paying him $153,000,000 over 4 years. This doesn't include TV, commercial, film, or shoe contracts. I assume when we officially return to Jim Crow era like he claims that will immediately be taken from him
What a silly statement from you. Are you black ? I'm not, so I have no idea what it is like to walk in their shoes, but I can sort of imagine. While I think certain blacks (and whites too) bring on their own problems, the majority do not. Anyone who says they do not see a certain degree of prejudice in this country is being blind, I am white, and I see it very often.
And , not just dumping on Trump because I dislike the man, but he has set up a " you vs me" atmosphere in this country, Hell, even we whites are at each others throats. We all know that one of the main reasons some people dislike Barack Obama is the color of his skin, although they will try to deny that fact.
But for you to equate James earning a lot of money vs the reality of what he sees and feels, it ridiculous.

"Oppressive Contract?"
Ving Rhames almost got shot by police in his underwear in his own home because someone called and said there was a "big black man" breaking into the house. I'd be willing to bet that the neighbors who called the cops on him had some kind of malice in mind - else how could they live next to a multi-millionaire Hollywood Black star and not know he is a "big black man." Black athletes, movie start, and businessman get just as dead when they are shot by cops for no reason. BTW, look up the definition of a lynching. Maybe then you will see what LeBron is talking about - but I highly doubt it - not many of you are capable.
LeBron is entitled to his opinion - particularly on this subject.

Yeah he’s a real cancer . Historical low unemployment rates , 4.1 GDP growth and NoKo has stopped threatening to nuke us .
It’s all in your head . Turn off CNN for a couple days and stop reading NyTimes , WaPo .
I don't watch CNN and I rarely read the Washington Post. Those unemployment numbers appear good, but Trump himself blasted the numbers when the last guy was president. North Korea hasn't proven they're not still making nuclear weapons and besides, it's been like 15 minutes since the agreement was met. Come back to me later when more time has passed. Hopefully they are no longer a threat, but I'll withhold judgement for just a tad longer.
I may very well be proven wrong and I hope I am. But I think we have not seen the worse of Trumnp and his policies yet. The tariffs are just one thing that could blow up in his face.

Hey Lebron, you're a gazillionaire --- not a slave -- please:
Only in America can college dropout athletes (or ones who forego it altogether) who get paid millions to play a kid's game and wear some sneakers, cry wolf about slavery and Jim Crow right after a black POTUS for 8 years.
Lerbon James is worth $400 million and signed a $1 billion lifetime shoe deal with Nike.
I'd love to experience whatever kind of modern slavery gets me that type of money with no college degree. Sign me up.
So your argument is that since James makes a lot of money, he can't comment on social issues even if they don't affect him personally? He specifically mentioned "what's happening in this country" and not "what's happening to me."
My argument is that he's an uneducated fool that has made riches beyond anyone's wildest dreams because of born athleticism and his comments are divisive and beyond stupid. Michael Jordan was much better player by the way and far more intelligent and less divisive.
He's probably suffering guilt from Black Privilege.
