Will Michael Jordan go to his grave never once addressing any issues concerning his race?

[jadillac]

Yall dudes not have dads or something. shyt remind me of the media when a athlete say they aint a role model. Does it really bother you that bad mike aint speaking on what YOU want. He a basket ball player/business man. He gives millions a year to charities.

Let that man breath. He has just as much responsibility as ya neighbor to speak up.
Would it be great if he did, of course. But this whole he obligated cuz he got money is ridiculous

Dude, we're not talking about a political issue or an opinion. And stop with the charity work....that's a tax write off that they are advised to do b/c otherwise that money gets ate up in taxes.

Sterling pretty much said he hates black ppl, including singling out Magic. And Jordan has "no comment on the situation"

He coulda at least said, "if it's true, that's unfortunate that he would say that. That's not what the NBA ownership stands for" That's as corporate and safe as you can get and still keep your nuts.

Again if he chooses not to speak im not gonna knock em.
The fact you holding his thoughts so highly is the issue. Again we gotta stop being programmed to idolize people for what they not. And an activist he is not.

Let me ask why is it so important to you to have michael jordan an ex bball player speak on social issues?

 

[Montez]

He doesn't have to talk but it would be nice. I don't think he needs to talk about Sterling.

But is it so bad to not want your fellow brother to be a c00n? I don't need him to be Stokely Carmichael but just say or do something as a prominent black man with black children. I think anyone with a platform needs to use their power to further push society forward.

At some point you have to stand for something beyond money. Jordan has made a sizeable amount of his fortune from the black community. He is/was one of the most prominent black people on earth. Folks aren't asking Jordan to comment on female circumcision or the crisis in Ukraine. What about people getting shot when his shoes get released?

You've had black and non-black athletes from all over the world take a stand on various issues, don't understand why wanting Jordan to do the same has anything to with fatherless homes.

Yall dudes not have dads or something. shyt remind me of the media when a athlete say they aint a role model. Does it really bother you that bad mike aint speaking on what YOU want. He a basket ball player/business man. He gives millions a year to charities.

Lebron takes stands against racial injustices.

Even Kobe is even trying to shake the c00n scent off of himself.

Has anyone heard MJ make a statement about anything? I use to be a big fan, but I can't support a coward and voiceless c00n in these times. Sports are great, but life and liberty is more important.

"Coward: One who, in a perilous emergency, thinks with his legs. "


"Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live." - A.Hitler

Does Jordan have any obligation to do so? He doesn't seem like he has ever cared to have any sort of platform. Besides, I think people underestimate how much of an impact athletes and other entertainers have on race relations simply by being an uniting subject that people of all races can rally behind and appreciate.

If we stop our children at a young age from idolizing all the wrong shyt. None of that would happen. You calling him a whore for a dollar is no diff then fools calling him a c00n cuz he wont be a civil rights activist

 

[Miggs]

MJ is a good darkie that CACs can semi-tolerate.

He laughs at all of their corny jokes. Wouldn't get a edge up if he had hair

Tries to do things they love to fit in.



Fukk these koons

To be fair alot of dudes in the 80s wasnt get edge ups...

 

[BrothaZay]

He cant say anything negative about white people.

Unlike black people, white people wouldnt support a brand by someone who hates them.

 

[Walt]

that jumpman logo too valuable for him to sabotage now. he made it thru his career as a player without having to address so he's home free.

think about what popped off during the jordan era that he was easily aware off but never touched on:
-Challenger explosion (a brother was on board)
-LA riots
-Crown Heights riots
-East coast/West coast bullshyt
-Unfair labor practices at Nike factories (even Steve Jobs got BBQ'd for what apple suppliers were doing in China)
-Insane murder rates in minority cities / black on black violence
-Black males dealing with the justice system/prison system/law enforcement

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Say what?

 

[CoCKy GeNiuS]

LoL at nikkas thinkin MJ goes out of his way to appease whites ...

MJ is the type of cat that doesn't give a fukk about nothing but the type of p*ssy and things he likes... real shyt he lets you know he is all about his personal self daily... yea he doesn't take a stand for blacks but at the same time he is telling white dudes "can I fukk your women" with no remorse...

MJ was built to live for MJ, not for society not for blacks or whites, this is the reality of MJ.... nikkas are acting like they just found out Santa isn't real when it comes to Mike and I bet he is somewhere gettin domed up not givin a fukk who disagrees... He gave us great basketball and was spoiled in the process, live with it and move on, quit expecting the man to catch the holy ghost....

mike is best friends w/ oakley barkley etc so the white appeasement thing is more jokes and fukkin around imo..

.like the macklemore thing..he did that for business reasons and takin a pic w/ chamillionaire at a party w/o him gettin money out of it is somethin he aint fukkin with...

a barkley will speak his mind on issues like this but its just not jordans character..im sure behind the scenes he got things to say but he's not political like that...and to expect some jim brown type shyt from him is somethin thats not gonna happen..but considering the power and prestige he got i can understand how people wanna expect more from him

 

[GoFlipAPack]

"Buy my sneakers nikka"

fixed

 

[reserved_one]

I have never bought a pair of Jordans and probably never will.

Seriously. This shyt has nothing to do with him or his wallet so I doubt he gives a fukk. Only thing he's thinking about right now is his squad getting shytted on by the nikka who used to want to be like him.

There is literally no reason for him to say anything except to a appease you nikkas, and we know he don't give a fukk about that. Y'all are bein stupid with the MJ shyt now
