To be honest, I think this is the best you can expect from 'MJ.:manny:

I never thought I would see the day.

Fo' real. Jordan gives a shyt about someone other than himself? If this is really his doing and not a marketing ploy or something Nike put him up to, it completely changes my impression of him.

balleralert Jordan Brings The Gold Home With "Olympic" Jordan V- blogged by @niksofly

There isn't a retro silhouette that appeases many like the Jordan 5. In an era with performance geared shoes, sneakerheads appreciate the aesthetic value found in retros. #Jordan has brought the gold home with these classics. The pure white upper serves as the basis of the kicks' colorway. Black hits are found on the kicks' eyelet and collar as well as its lining. Black reappears on the toe tip and midsole setting off the liquid gold mudguard at the sneakers' side. The metallic gold is featured on the tongue of the kicks' balancing the scheme. The translucent outsole completes the look. These kicks drop Aug 20 for $190. Are you copping or nah?#BallerificKicks #Sneakerhead #BallerAlert

I'm not justifying MJ at this point, but his father was killed by black males, no telling how something like that changes your mentals(for the good or bad). Jordan was lighting things up for the black race when he was ballin in his heyday(simply for the fact the most famous man on earth at the time was him, a black man, alone)....so for the same community to take his father may have left him a little "sour"......like I said, not making excuses...just trying to understand.

Imagine donating to urban entities in Chicago and making appearances at minority heavy schools and trying to uplift and then in your mind that same group murdered your father. Might alter your thinking, make you a lil bitter is all I'm saying.

He had no reason to expect that if anyone was gonna kill his father that it would be someone of a different color. 80-90% of crime is done by people you have met, people in your neighborhood, and people of the same color. In 2014 (the latest numbers available), 88% of homicides were committed by someone the victim knew: Expanded Homicide Data Table 10. Europeans aka "whites" kill more of each other than any group does: Expanded Homicide Data Table 6.

Good points but I don't feel it fits this narrative. Tim cook and steve jobs aren't black.

I'm not saying he has to be the voice person for blacks. But like jim brown said, just speak up in certain instances. Things are not the same when jim, kareem, ali, & russell were in front of social issues and I understand that too.

Again what is he suppose to say? Stop stealing shoes?
