NBA star LeBron James, whose net worth is estimated at $1 billion, endorsed Georgia’s Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock on the day Americans go to the polls for the 2022 midterm elections, saying, “We’ve been oppressed for so long.”
James, who sponsored his left-wing “More Than a Vote” campaign in 2020 to fight mythic “voter suppression” in Georgia, claimed in an Instagram post late on Monday evening that he wants “change” in Georgia, and so he urged voters to vote for the same guy who is already in office there.
“Obviously, tomorrow is Election Day, and there’s only one choice when voting for senator, and that’s Raphael Warnock,” James told his fans.
James told his followers that he believes “change” is advanced by keeping the same people in office.
“I think from the Black community — and obviously our league is predominately Black athletes, Black players, Black men — our community, we talk and speak about change a lot,” James said. “So, in order to have change we have to get out and actually put our mouths and put our hands and put our pens and pencils to the polls. Starting in your community, then it starts in the city, then out to state, and then all the way out the country, we have an opportunity to be able to say that you’ve done your due diligence to try to help create change in your community.”
The billionaire athlete then added that he has been “oppressed for so long.”
“We’ve been oppressed for so long,” James added. “Obviously, I had the More Than A Vote initiative when we was in the bubble. I was very active with that. So many musicians and athletes and leaders was able to come on board with us. But we’ve been oppressed for so long..

Hey LeBron if America is so bad, GTFO of my country you pansy ass sissy
Hey, LaFraud...you’re a BILLIONAIRE according to 2022 numbers published by google. So please understand that hearing that you’re worth a thousand million just because of your ability to throw and catch a ball, while butchering the English language, is impossible to square with any kind of “oppression”.
I also see how fast you ditched Akron, Ohio where you grew up. As a native of northeast Ohio, who would give anything to move back and finish my career in my hometown, I bristle with animosity when I look back and see you telling everyone that you will be “taking your talents to souff beach”. You have a lot of growing up to do.
oppression - NOT getting enough TANF, EBT, EITC, rent subsidies, heating and air conditioning subsidies, Pell Grants, Obamacare, Obamaphone, preferences in hiring and college admissions, free this, free that, etc., etc.
I’ve heard quite a few black conservatives talk about LeBron and they’re not not on board with his hypocrisy.
So let me understand this. You live in a nation, where you've risen from obscurity to become a billionaire and you have the hutzpah to whitewash (no pun intended) the nation/society that afforded you that opportunity - as being oppressive!?!
Why does the phrase, "you can't fix stupid come to mind?"
LeBron, you earned your money playing a game, not with your brain...
You are as dumb as a post-hole...
Two Commie Birds of a feather flocking together.
Nothing brings out the empathy in me more than oppressed billionaires.
;-)
lulz!
Screw James Lebron.
Yep. Free ride to a quality private school, became an NBA millionaire right out of high school. We should all be so oppressed.
We be oplessed!
Nigga Please
If Lebron was any more STOOPIDER, he would be dribbling without the need for a basketball!
I’m sick of people who get rich off Whitey’s naïveté and still hate Whitey.
Charles Barkley is right about LeBron - he’s a whiney b__tch.
...says the man who makes money off the backs of slave laborers. LeBron is a black slaver.
That is funny!
Stealin the job of the chick with the nice rack who worked at AT&T. This man must be stopped!
