Malcolm X used to be in the black supremacist Nation of Islam cult. He then took a trip to Mecca, and saw people of all races circling the Kaaba. This inspired him to change his religion to traditional Sunni Islam, and start denouncing the Nation of Islam as a cult. The Nation of Islam didn't take to kindly to that, and so they sent an assassin to kill Malcolm X.
The Nation of Islam in general is interesting in itself, since it started the meme amongst urban black communities that Islam was the "traditional religion" of the Africans, when it wasn't (most traditional sub-Saharan West/Central African* religions were animistic polytheism). Islam didn't even really penetrate into the religious practices of ethnic groups such as the Hausa until around the 1400s to 1500s.
*most Black American slaves were of West/Central African descent, primarily Yoruba

I mean TBF nigga is almost ready to retire. He's gotten his, who cares what happens next.
HE also realizes none of the current staff of commentators look like they're going to kick it in the next decade or so; Barkley looks like he's listening to his doctors again, so might as well set yourself for Social Justice speaking gigs.
He was also not a fucktard and all the way back to his being recruited for highschool ball days his family was making sure that stuff was being managed by people who knew what they were doing. He's got money for life.
tl;dr, Lebron doesn't really give a fuck about what happens to the NBA anymore.

I can't give this to Trump. "Under God" was never part of the pledge until almost halfway through its existence thus far. It never should have been there to begin with and shouldn't still be there.

I'd say 2010. Howard Dean engineered the blue wave at an incredible financial cost - the DNC was too busy lining its own pockets and distributing the grift to attempt to capitalize and continue it.
And I'm pretty sure the FDR-era GOP has them beat in terms of raw stupidity.
Blacks adopting Islam is the most lol-worthy shit if you spend more than a few minutes looking into the history of the region, and of Islam itself.
Islam was forced on the region as the predominiately Arab Islamic powers pushed into exploit the continent. The wave of death and destruction and colonialism that whatever Islamic empire was en vogue at the time wrought on the continent on a regular basis would have made Leopold II jizz himself non-stop for a week.
They were EXTREMELY racist too. The Umayids had a god-tier general who was a little darker of complexion than his peers (Sources aren't clear if he was just born a little darker, was Egyptian, or if was full purple - which seems unlikely given the prevailing Arab racism; and this was full strain islam days, so no portraits or busts exist to compare)
Anyway, because he was a little darker of skin, this guy who did more to expand their backwards religion than anyone since the chief Pederast himself got the moniker "The Black"; it loses something in the translation, but it'd be more accurate to translate that as "The Nigger".
Its especially lulzy as the "return" to islam was supposed to be 'throwing off the religion of their oppressors'. Nigga Saudi Arabia still buying black slaves to this day, just no one gives a shit.
The Ottomans took more slaves in a single year than were sent to North America in all 250 years. And that's just the estimated 30-40% that survived the trip to Turkey.
Anyway, tl;dr
He was at least right about the Jews.

"Under god" absolutely belongs in the pledge. It was written it was during a time when a majority of americans practiced religion. It should be upheld for historcial reasons.
i find that part of the pledge beautiful. Personally I'm not religious but whether you are or not doesnt matter. The phrase is intended to unite people. "under god" is just a nice way of saying, we're all in this together.

Honestly not that into the Pledge of Allegiance myself... it feels a little too much like a collectivist affirmation. My loyalty to and dedication to America should be earned by America protecting my rights, not unconditionally given in ritual chant from the time I'm five years old. The conflation of the state with God is not exactly a sentiment I want perpetuated, for obvious reasons.
That said, saying it just to make a point of excising part of it for the sake of Pwning The Xtians is the most childish, petty, and fedora-ish thing I've heard in awhile. The Dems have been trying to gradually eliminate the pledge of allegiance (not for any individualistic reasons but to carry the narrative that America isn't worth pledging allegiance to) for years now, the sheer disingenuousness of bringing it back just to emphasize how they took part of it out is yet another in their long line of blatant bad faith efforts.

A majority were also religious when it was originally written without "Under God".
Look, it's obvious why "Under God" was added to the Pledge and "In God we Trust" added to paper money at exactly the same time (1954-ish). It was the middle of the Red Scare against Godless Communism, so of course all Real Patriotic Americans (TM) believed in God. If you didn't you were probably a subversive Bolshevik.
It doesn't really ruffle my feathers that much (the Pledge flows better without it, IMO), but that isn't really the point at this late date.
The point is the Pledge currently contains it, people are used to saying it that way, and to make a public point about leaving it out at your convention totally shows up the Dems as ideological, smarmy elitist assholes who think God-believers are stupid and retrograde. Trump's right to point it out.

It also plays -horribly- with the more religious groups within America... and is an amazingly bad call by the Democrats.
Two of the most religious groups are... Blacks and Hispanics. They sorta tried to cover the Black vote with that insane preacher, but the black community tends to be insular, caring more about its local religious groups rather than any national figure with a handful of exceptions.

Yep... they seem to have conveniently forgot, or hope everyone else will just forget, about the fact that they wanted anything America-affirming GONE completely.... not out of a belief it was illegal or an overreach of power to make you say a pledge, but because anything that makes you love your country is jingoism, and what's Nazism except jingoism with a cool leader and flag?
Because if they'd opposed it on free speech grounds, I'd have partially agreed, especially in my euphoric teen years... but they didn't stop there and lost me.
We opposed the Pledge because it smacks of authoritarianism to force kids to swear loyalty to a government (yeah!) and an endorsement of God when not all kids are religious (Right on!) and there's nothing good about swearing allegiance to a nation comprised almost entirely of racists and sexists (wait, what?) who've never done anything good in the history of humanity except finally die off so we can fix their mistakes (Uhhh...no... see....) through liberal ideology, which you now must pledge to or else we'll run you out of town as a Nazi, you aren't a Nazi, are you Timmy? (Fuck off, now I'm gonna say it just to make you mad)

While that is true, that is not why they leave it out or else they would be saying that.
They only leave it out because they are

While this may be true, it's incredibly fucked up, disgenic, and a sign of a terrible person to fuck up the future for the next people following your path. Too many black americans engage in this type of behavior and have for decades.
Please elaborate on this.

Wasn’t the pledge of allegiance made by NBC a flag company to help sell flags? It’s kinda stupid both to hold it up as a grand American tradition as well as to change it to be more progressive.
Still remarkable for the Dems to remove it then pretend they didn’t.

The original pledge was conceived in 1887 by Civil War veteran George Balch: We give our heads and hearts to God and our country; one country, one language, one flag!
Francis Bellamy came up with the version we're more familiar with in 1892: I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
In the final editing of Bellamy's version the "my Flag" part was changed to "to the flag of the United States of America" with the idea of better assimilating foreign immigrant children. Bellamy himself wasn't a big fan of the change but didn't kick up a lot of dust over it.
The version we know without the God part was officially recognized by Congress in 1942: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Pastor George Docherty is the man usually credited with the idea of adding "under God" because he drew inspiration from Abraham Lincoln and Lincoln had used the phrase at some point. President Eisenhower liked it and proposed the idea to Congress and it eventually was accepted and passed in 1954 so from that point onward "under God" was put in.
It is seen as historical tradition at this point though it's been part of American history for 66 years now, the President always swears in his oath office and utters the phrase "So help me God" and that has been tradition since 1789, God's always been around in American history in some form or another, the Battle Hymn of the Republic features the phrase "As Christ died to make men holy, let us die to make men free!" and I'm pretty sure that'd make some fedora lords, Muslims, and Jews angry but we're not getting rid of the Battle Hymn, funnily enough though some idiots still try to sing the song and remove that verse from it like how the Dems tried to cut out the "under God" from the Pledge.
