WASHINGTON — The N.B.A. superstar LeBron James and a group of other prominent black athletes and entertainers are starting a new group aimed at protecting African-Americans’ voting rights, seizing on the widespread fury against racial injustice that has fueled worldwide protests to amplify their voices in this fall’s presidential election.
“Because of everything that’s going on, people are finally starting to listen to us — we feel like we’re finally getting a foot in the door,” Mr. James said in a phone interview on Wednesday. “How long is up to us. We don’t know. But we feel like we’re getting some ears and some attention, and this is the time for us to finally make a difference.”
The organization, called More Than a Vote, will partly be aimed at inspiring African-Americans to register and to cast a ballot in November. But as the name of the group suggests, Mr. James and other current and former basketball stars — including Trae Young, Skylar Diggins-Smith and Jalen Rose — will go well beyond traditional celebrity get-out-the-vote efforts.

One reason we were cursed with the Toadstool is because so many sat it out in 2016. I've got a good feeling that this year is going to be different. Blue tsunami!!!!

Link to where blacks dont have a right to vote...
Take white money out of the NBA and the stands, Lebron is in jail or working at KFC
- Opposing motor/voter in the '90's
- Whenever a county like Miami/Dade comes under scrutiny, like in 2000, we find out that thousands of votes were discarded for vague reasons
- 24 states in the past 2 years implemented new voter restrictions: photo ID, "use it or lose it" laws, Supreme Court decision that states no longer need fed approval for voter restrictions
- Georgia closed over 200 polling places in recent years. Does anyone deny that being forced to wait 5 hours to vote doesn't equate to suppression?
- Over 50,000 voter registrations were also rejected in Georgia - because names didn't EXACTLY match how they looked in every other database
And on & on. This has been going on my whole life. When fewer people vote, Republicans do better. When fewer minorities vote, they do a lot better.
