Jrue_Holiday11 what in the actual hell do those social justice causes actually do? So much money has been given and it isn’t at all clear what these organizations do. Sounds like a black hole
What are some examples of effective ways to throw money at systemic racism?
Just as long as he doesn't give it to BLM and Shaun King...
Funny how this is all happening before an election. Not really. TheGreatAwakening soros sedition
Moron Play ball...leave politics out !!
They should use all these monies for scholarships for black communities else most would go towards flights and logistics for BLM Execs.
Bullsh__ Upward mobility comes fr working harder & that means 2 jobs, which is popular w/ decent Ppl who aren’t filthy trash that relies on Crime.
So he's giving his money to Marxists or is he going to open a viable business in the hood? Only the later helps black people.
Facts show that Black LIves DO NOT Matter... to black people. I wonder when will BLM tear all the statues of Martin Luther King down and TheDemocrats rename streets called MLK. You see, he was a preacher and against looting, murder & violence that you love
Sounds good.
I hope he invests in black businesses and doesn’t just hand it all over to an organization trying to get Dems elected
Fatherless homes.
“systemic racism” doesn’t exist.this does though.
Try finishing high school and stop having babies out of wedlock........................oh, and get a job, too!
Upward mobility would easier to achieve if you guys would stop knocking up white women and having to pay thousands in child support
Wow what a waste for nothing. So many black babies murdered and This? You could do better
Start with removing gangs. Inner city kids to improve their self respect and self image and respect for people and their families by education. Parents should be parents. That crime doesn't pay.!
This is something to be admired as the rest of celebrities scream loud and long but refuse to put their money where their mouths are.
Hero!!!!! ❤️❤️💐❤️💐❤️💐❤️💐❤️❤️
Systemic racism is a figment of some K street lobbyist who works for the DNC. IF systemic racism existed, Obama would never have become President. If systemic racism existed, why is the NBA 90% black?
The only way to do that is to stop supporting the Democrats. Slavery - Indentured Servants - Tenant Farming - Racism/Segregation/KKK - Democrat Plantation = Systemic Democrat Racism/Slavery
Great idea!!
He isn't going to get any Nike contracts that way. You are supposed to raise a fuss then make it about yourself for years. What are you thinking, donating to something that might help others? That isn't the sportsball way.
Terrible photo. Jrue Holiday should first hire a good PR firm so pics like this never surface again.
Yeah... just 4 months of what is presumably a massive annual salary... I think it’s wonderful that he’s donating his money for good. I’m just sick of seeing celebrities put a drop in the bucket and be praised as heroes.
Yeah nothing helps propel upward mobility like destroying the “western nuclear family” and the country. These people are stupid. They support a Marxist run org that explicitly uses useful idiots to do their dirty work
Please also call out the NBA and KingJames for supporting the murderous regime in China and HK...
So basically he pissed some money away. Good job
I’m not sure what this gesture says. I think he’d really be making a statement by donating the remainder of his NBA contract.
Who cares. You are already paid to much for what you do. Little boy and his balls.
What does that mean? More bricks, bats, gasoline for Molotov Cocktails.
Fighting or promoting racism is just a show for the ignorant puppet-class. Thanks to cellphones, it has never been easier to manipulate the stupid.
Never heard of him!! Is that Leeeeeeebron?
First of all, there is no 'systemic racism.' That's a racist liberal term that deflects from their racist policies. The REAL things preventing black 'upward mobility' are the failing govt schools, welfare that rewards fatherless households, and open borders that cost black jobs.
Systemic racism has made a lot of blacks rich in our society. I couldn't imagine the uptick in racism & white supremacy in the US if they were billionaires.
A rich black dude in America giving money away. John Lewis 17 years in Congress. BLM allowed to act like idiots in the street. Damn racists.
I hope he didn’t give it to BLM. That’s just a front company designed to keep Black People exactly where they are... frustrated, separate, and feeling left out of the dream. We should unify to build a better future upon the foundation of what is always right about this country.
why not just say poor communities because they exist of all colors.
Wife is white the nba dude is black the baby is automatically black !!!
If this bullshit last any longer, I will become a racist ...😝
I wonder would he be an NBA star if it was a systemic racism?
That money will eventually end up in Dems bank account.
Then he should also help support GOP candidates in the large cities that have been run by Democrats and been run into the ground, allowed these riots and looting to continue.
And you chose this photo? What the fuck
That's a True Leader.
Stop the BS..only thing prevents upward mobility in a person is what they believe & choose to hear..IT SURE AS HELL DIDN'T STOP JOHN LEWIS SON OF SHARECROPPER.. RESPECT STARTS AT HOME & NOT LISTENING TO BS..!..Not just black lives matter, EVERY life matters..!!
Let me say this! I don't drink beer all the time,and I don't get drunk or smoke cigarettes. So stop judging a book by it's cover. There's 2 actions to all the racism, that is Adults needs to live their lives to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and teach their children the same🕊💗
This is what Kaepernick should have done. Money makes more things happen than protesting.
His money with which he can do as he pleases. It would be nice if the media would follow up down the road, especially regarding the portion he's giving to businesses.
Sweet..Now KingJames ....Tag an A%$hole who has plenty to share but chose to raise money for the WHO instead.🧏🏾♂️ We Remember you F%!$wads WWG1WGA qanon trump2020
all these athletes and movie stars, ceos better start donating or their millions of dollars won't be worth sqaut! XLM
