Full support for comrade LeBron. First communist president! :rockon:

I like dray but that's probably the dumbest shit I've ever heard.

[Mr. Woke]

I would vote for King James over the Trumpster fire any day of the week.

Dray has been ball licking a ton since he signed with Klutch, it's ****ing embarrassing.

Draymond said LeBron should run as us president because of his great leadership qualities. lbj is also a self made millionaire.

It's not just that he's a self made millionaire with several successful businesses.

It really is about his leadership and judgement.

Look at Stephen Jackson's take on what makes LeBron so great:


“The main reason why I love LeBron, I’mma tell you this because a lot of people don’t say this,” Jackson said to Spears.

“As athletes Marc, it’s a million people that came through the NBA that come with their homeboys; and try to put their homeboys in position to win. Nobody got it right but LeBron. Every basketball player that came through there with their friends, including me, that come with their entourage, everybody get it wrong. LeBron the first to get it right.”

Everything LeBron touches turns to gold - a Midas touch like that is translatable and the hallmark of a successful politician.

too bad he will probably run Democrat

[SATAN]

Why stop at President? Make him solely in charge of the UN also. Better yet, perhaps the whole world could elect him as our global leader? I envision LeBron creating a Baldenless utopia for all. Brings a tear to the eye.

LBJ was master negotiator and politician. He probably said a million crazy things to keep people onside during his term. He spearheaded the greatest poverty-reduction campaign outside of the New Deal. Doing that in the 60's requires a lot of racist ass people to be on your side.

He was the senate whip at one point. He job was literally to bully, cajole, and persuade politicians to collaborate on massive reforms.

What was he negotiating when he said this to a chauffeur?



But there were also instances of casual racism that can’t be so easily rationalized. Biographer Caro also notes that Johnson is said to have replied as follows to a black chauffeur who told him he’d prefer to be called by name instead of “boy,” “n1gger” or “chief”:

"As long as you are black, and you’re gonna be black till the day you die, no one’s gonna call you by your goddamn name. So no matter what you are called, n1gger you just let it roll off your back like water, and you’ll make it. Just pretend you’re a goddamn piece of furniture. "


Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson, folks.

Making Ralphiel proud.

60-years later and they're still falling for it too. Damn shame.

[KirbyPls]

It’s ironic and unsurprising that folks still believe that ideas, instead of money and power, count for anything politically. It’s a show. Increasingly held on through force and coercion. There’s nothing new under the sun. GOAT as he is, Lebron plays his role. Voting will never address a spiritual fight.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Tbh I fail to see Lebron as a competent US president, its one thing to be a good basketball player, its another thing to be a good president. I would however, recommend him to be the next mayor of Toronto. He owns that city anyway, may as well consider renaming it to Lebronto.

The citation for this, or course, is the chauffeur selling a book

LBJ surely said a lot of racist shit. He was president in the 60's. Actions matter a lot more than words. He was the most powerful political enemy of segregationists in his time.

So he said a lot of racist shit. He was openly racist. On a personal level, he clearly did not care about blacks.

As a politician, he claimed "We're gonna get em voting Democrat, by giving em just enough not to get too uppity, but not enough that'll actually get em anywhere..."



And YOU believe... looking at where blacks are today... in Democratic controlled cities and states, and having had plenty of Democratic Presidents...

He didn't mean what he said.

He was legitimately trying to get his white colleagues to really, truly, sincerely help black people as best they can. Because that's what he cared about.






:yaohappy:

[starface]

Also, it's wasn't the chauffeur's book.

The book was a biography of Johnson, written by Pulitzer prize winning journalist Robert Caro.

[tpols]

Lebron probably has an IQ in the mid 90s. Basketball wise he's smart and cautious but he's been trained for 20 years in that niche role. Known he was gonna be a millionaire since he was 15. The fact that anybody would EVER consider him for president.... lmao. There are smart basketball players. Kobe, Duncan, and Hakeem were smart. Magic and Bird are smart. MJ is smart. Honestly just about anybody in the top 10 GOATs is smarter than Lebron. But they were never as outspoken as he is individually, politically. They separated the game from real life.

It's a classic case of somebody with low intelligence overestimating themselves. It's proven statistically and through many studies that low IQ individuals overrate their intelligence and high IQ underrate theirs. Because high IQ are constantly putting themselves under scrutiny while low IQ think of themselves as gods. Especially if they hold a big physical advantage, it becomes an animalistic mentality of I'm bigger than you, therefore better.

Wrongo. Caro was writing a biography of LBJ, but the claim is from the chauffeur (Parker's) book. Caro is just referencing what Parker claims...in a book about DC gossip and influence trading.

So the quote comes from the chauffeur, was deemed credible enough to be repeated by a pulitzer winning biographer, and is 1000% in keeping with Johnson’s character and proclivities.

Methinks any rational person will conclude its legitimacy to be more likely than unlikely.


More importantly, the quote about feigning concern for blacks in order to exploit them politically, is exactly what subsequent decades bore out.

Thr attribution of the quote itself and its context are secondary to the more pertinent fact that it’s an accurate assessment of what has happened and is happening.

Big federal bureaucrats put in power by special interests never help poor uneducated people out compassionate humanity. There’s always a lopsided, unseen trade off.

I would say that section 8 housing, food stamps, medicare, and social security have done a lot less damage than outsourcing all the jobs, then filling cities with drugs and declaring "war" on them.

Starface, what are your favorite books on US history or politics in the 20th century?

Have you ever heard the Stevie Wonder song "Livin for the City?" It basically describes what you're talking about.

Rounding people up into cities and giving them just enough food and shelter to keep em working for peanuts. While the rich get richer. Control their perception through the media so they feel theyre being protected from an enemy or boogieman and don't have any better alternatives. Deflate the value of their earnings through complicated financial machinations so that they're always wanting, and always dependent. A self sufficient, educated, independent, competitive people is never good for those in charge.

These are other grown men and their families you're talking about. The fact that you have this weird obsession to play caretaker for them, speaks more to your own weird ambition than any altruism. You're not supposed to play nanny for other grown men. You're supposed to work together and cooperate for mutual interest. There are plenty of men from every race willing to meet the standard of education and responsibility to be able to do that. The fact that you want to somehow nanny them as a collective group, and hold them to your bosom and have them suckle, is just weird. It's not a natural mindset for a grown man to have, unless you're specifically looking for the validation of playing hero. In which case, it's not about them, it's about you.

The debates would be pathetic. Lebron expresses himself like a 12 yrs old child.

[Smoke117]

The sad part is that dumb ass negros would vote for him.

A Lebron/Dwayne Johnson ticket would be kick ass.
