He wasn't ali or Jim Brown outwardly speaking up for black issues.

He wasn't LeBron or d wade speaking out on social issues through expression and community work for black people.


He was about the paper and his brand.


Can't call him a c00n he never said anything c00nish.

He seem cool he made social strives later in life.



Republicans by my shoes too was always remembered tho

"MJ doesn't care about Black people :shaq2:"

MJ contributes to the cause in a different manner :manny:

"Legend has it that the Nike pitchman justified his lack of activism with the now infamous line, “Republicans buy shoes, too.” It’s unclear, though, whether he actually said the line. Here’s everything we know.

The quote first appeared in Sam Smith’s 1995 book Second Coming, a chronicle of Jordan’s return from minor-league baseball to the Chicago Bulls. In the book’s preface, Smith detailed Jordan’s borderline-paranoid management of his own image. One example: Jordan requested that reporters not write about how he disliked a childhood job as a maintenance worker as he didn’t “want maintenance men to think [he’s] putting them down.” Then Smith turned to the Gantt–Helms race:

Another time, he was approached by U.S. Senate hopeful Harvey Gantt, a black politician who was running against Jesse Helms in North Carolina, Jordan’s home state. Gantt had hoped that Jordan’s name would help him defeat Helms, widely regarded as a virulent racist. But Jordan declined. He wasn’t into politics, he explained, didn’t really know the issues. And, as he later told a friend, “Republicans buy shoes, too.”
