A few things:

1. why is it a shock that most black peoples are conservative? Hello? The church? MLK was a republican. As the saying goes, most black people are socially conservative and fiscally democrats.

2. people saying millionaires like Jordan and Barkley need to give back, why? Their talent and hard work got them to where they are, not charity. They’re not obligated to be benevolent. That’s what taxes (should be) are for.

Of course, we know rich people find loopholes to pay as little to no tax as possible but in an ideal world, they’d be taxed a “fair” amount.

Now I don’t think it’s far to judge Jordan on a throw away comment but let’s be real, there are a lot of pan handlers who have a made a career from “begging.”

It’s unfortunate because the ones who genuinely need help get overlooked but we’ve all seen the homeless guy spend that same money on drugs or alcohol. They’ll look at you with disdain if you buy them food when all they wanted is the money.

This isn’t a “pull your boot straps up” rant but stop slating people who are rich for not giving back like they’re obligated too.

:patrice: Thats why you shouldn't give spare change

If someones hungry i'll offer to buy them something to eat if im not busy. But I aint giving out money, You dunno if theyre gonna just use it to buy drugs or w/e.

Also theres professional "bums" out there who pretend to be down bad when they really arent and make crazy bread that way. MJ still a fxckin dikkhead though.

Breh, I've seen a few on the trains with WADS of
bills

Mike the GOAT a$$hole :mjlol:

MJ and Kobe were cut from the same cloth. Those dudes do not understand not chasing excellence every moment of your existence.

Give all your money to the next pandhandler you see then

No one is stopping you Karl Marx :dead::dead::dead:

If you have that kind of smoke against him for handing out money to homeless people, I cannot fathom what you would have done against Jesus Christ when he was walking the earth over 2000 years ago. :picard:

Mlk wasn't a republican or conservative though, dude was a radical who wanted to fundamentally change the status quo of American society.

He was also a socialist who believed in idea of wealth redistribution.

Yall gotta recognize that it cost money to be broke. You actually need a place to stay when you're in a job. You need Photo ID, SIN cards, and Passports and that cost money if you don't have it. Where you gonna put it if you don't have a home?
What can you do if you need to make a resume?
What about transportation? Bus transportation isn't cheap either. How about going to the dry cleaners wash your clothes? Where are going to go to take a shower? It's pretty much required to have a cellphone and an email account. How can you get groceries? To rich people, these expenses mean little to them.
