WTF. Fucking clown ass shit. He puts in "the work" to protest, speak out against racism, encourages others to do what's right "for the people" and then says this fucking thing. WTF!!!!!!!!! The main way to change is through voting. The benefits of not voting are?!?!?!??! WTF!!!!!
It's his opinion. He told people to do them and form their own opinion. No big deal. If you didn't throw him under the bus when he was going at the pigs in the spring, why now? Because he said what YOU don't want to hear? Either be down for celebs speaking their piece or don't. You're not always going to agree. Damn. 
Jackson got like millions of charitable contributions to community projects. Anyone here match that?

OK I listened
bro you one of the smartest ones on here
you LISTENED to that and you thought that was coherent well thought out?
Don't do that lazy - everyone has their right to an opinion sh*t on this one
He said NOTHING positive just NEGATIVE
That wasn't even have a COHERENT OPINION
he REALLY couldn't KEEP that to himself?
Especially a WEEK before the election?
Here is why this was even dumber, after ALL THE PROTESTS and ACTIVISM he dd
who does he think he was PROTESTING?!?!
Remember Kaep said the same sh*t
I disagreed with HIM too
but he aint saying that sh*T NOW.
This is NOT the FIRST time Stephen has undermined his own movement.
again he can SAY what he wants
and POST what he wants
Of course he doesn't have to vote
good for him
and I aint saying he aint smart or he is ungrateful or deliberately trying to hurt his people
But that does NOT mean we give him a PASS for some ole bullsh*t.
ESPECIALLY when that bullsh*t could NEGATIVELY effect all the WORK he was CALLING ALL OF US TO SUPPORT!
and then Stephen..
why the F*CK were you involved in this then?

Lakers Star Lebron James Forming Voting Rights Organization
By LA Times Today Staff El Segundo
PUBLISHED 5:45 PM ET Sep. 03, 2020
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — There is no debating LeBron James is one of the greatest basketball players ever. And off the court, he is perhaps the most powerful voice in the NBA.
After the murder of George Floyd, James was angry and shared his frustrations on social media. He then decided to take matters into his own hands by forming the voting rights organization More Than a Vote.
With his new organization, James is trying to make a difference in Black communities. The organization has identified several states where it will seek to energize the Black vote and fight against voter suppression. Those states include Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida.
More Than a Vote is trying to partner with athletes and entertainers who are connected to those places and encourage them to push the message to vote in this year's presidential election.
The day after a recent election in Georgia included long lines of frustration at the polls, was the day James made his announcement.
The Lakers also had a call with Hall of Fame Center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, where James talked about being inspired by a photo of him and Muhamad Ali, and the work that they did together during the civil rights era.
But this isn't an 'athlete exclusive' organization. Houston rapper Bun B has committed to be part of the organization, as well as comedian Kevin Hart and Grammy Award winner Toni Braxton, to see how they can help promote this message and fight for real change.
Despite being in a bubble, James has stayed aggressive in combating voter suppression. By using his social media platform to promote More Than a Vote, he has united Black artitsts around the globe, while at the same time trying to guide the Lakers to their 17th championship.

The day after a recent election in Georgia included long lines of frustration at the polls, was the day James made his announcement.
Leading up to the announcement, he had a conference call with various sports stars, such as Trae Young, Kendrick Perkins, Eric Bledsoe, Chiney Ogwumike, Skylar Diggins-Smith, Alvin Kamara, and Stephen Jackson to discuss what he and others could do to help encourage Black communities to vote.

Bingo. He told people to go vote if that's what they wanted to do.It's his opinion. He told people to do them and form their own opinion. No big deal. If you didn't throw him under the bus when he was going at the pigs in the spring, why now? Because he said what YOU don't want to hear? Either be down for celebs speaking their piece or don't.

That's the thing. He use's that to draw you in then hit you with the bullshit. That's the danger in bandwagons. The most ignorant are the loudest.It's his opinion.

Niggas be thinking they way is the only way
He is entitled to his opinion with that said it is counter productive to say you won't vote but yet complain about the institutions that oppress black people. He sounds like one of dumb smart cats who act like they better than you because they don't vote.
Oh they love black militancy until the militancy shows its apathy to the system they suddenly believe in.
Them coons around him laughing like yeah I’m not voting either . Smfh. So why he was trying to act like he cared about his boy George Floyd? Clout chasing ass nigga . Voting is more than voting for presidents. I swear some niggas ain’t worth a damn
yeah him saying he a wolf
and he surrounded by co signing cackling sheep aint EXACTLY make his point any more rational.
^^^^^^
He hasn't undermined anything man. He is telling people what HE is doing and encouraging them to do THEM. That is all. Message was coherent. HE feels fuck Biden AND Trump. If someone else FEELS otherwise, they too should do wtf they want to do.
What is negative about this man's opinion on the election? It's just an opinion, not an endorsement. 10s of millions of people feel the same way as him. At the end of the day, he still going to donate his time and money no matter who wins because that's what he been doing for years. Putting in work.
I haven't donated 500k to start an a place for black children, who here has?
Cats knocking him might just have their 
"I voted stickers' which is as valuable as used toilet paper to kids who need help. Shit. This cat has done more to help black people with his donations/time than Biden has done in 47 fucking years of politics, so damn right he can shit on any of them if he wants to.We all aren't going to agree on this funky ass political shit. But cats like Jackson put in the work no matter which clown is in office doing basically jack shit for the community. Anyone here donated more than 1 million of their OWN money AND time I stand corrected.
This cat been getting awards for the work he put in since Bush was in office and we going to talk shit about him. Naw man. Folks lost their minds around here.
It's his opinion and how can you get mad at that?
Many people think just like him and it's ok for that.
I hate politics and I hate how every few years black folks get swept up into the political areanas of politricks,everyones an expert,been following for years,exercise their rights to vote and still wake up the next morning in the same position there were many moons ago but it doesn't matter they participate and that overrides everything else.That's not how that's suppose to go...free world,free thinking to choose whatever option you want.
Alot of you are puppets without even knowing it,check the sources where you get you're information from and who they favor,think about all parties,green, dems & repubs and think about yourself and where you want to be in 5 years....where I want to be isn't in the plans of any of these sons of bitches and I'm not voting for one just to get the other one out which is ok if this was in high school and people are voting for prom King & Queen.

Come on fam
He said I aint voting but you do you?
WHY EXACTLY SHARE THAT NOW?
when we seen a RASH of Black Celebrities OPENLY support trump who has PUBLICLY supporting Police and White supremists?
Why?
Why not man? Everyone else can speak on it BUT only if they say the right thing? People probably been asking him about this shit. Hell, they asking everyone else.
We can't just censor people man. We got to take the shit we agree on and the shit we disagree on. Man earned his right to speak on it. More than any of us.
Wait stop
When in this country hell in ANY country is speaking come with NO REPERCUSSIONS and RESPONSIBILITY?
He CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS
He can't be on mics around the country telling us to raise up fight and to VOTE ALONG SIDE LEBRON
and then a FEW DAYS in one of the MOST SIGNIFICANT ELECTIONS in recent history
pull this sh*t
nah I'm done man
you can defend him all you want that is fine.
this is NOT about freedom of speech.
Its about RESPONSIBILITY INTEGRITY and CONSISTENCY.
Just like HE can say what he want and then slick talk call US sheep?
the SAME SHEEP THAT RODE WITH HIM and HIS TWIN?
Well I can speak up and say MY OPINION TOO.
Yo i was thinking, "why is he announcing this, ol bitch ass nigga? "
I see nothing wrong here
I don't LIKE what he said or how he said or his reasoning behind it..
but he has a RIGHT TO SAY IT and STAND BEHIND IT
and OTHERS have the right to speak against it
all those things can exist peaceably
More like he's comatose.
What he doesn't realize is that his opinion influences others. Saying "Vote if you want to" can also have a negative effect. It's a poor attempt to deflect responsibility for his words.
