MJ “staying out of politics” was him refusing to help the first brother in his state get elected against a Senator who campaigned against the Civil Rights act and someone who tried to label MLK a communist and get him killed. That was the only time that guy’s seat was vulnerable and he went on to hold it for another almost 20yrs until he died in 2008. Literally halting progress to put a couple dollars in his pocket from cacs.
fukk you and anybody who loves your c00n ass
Times back then were very different though, these days lebron got alot more space to talk about race.
I can't blame Jordan for being silent in the 80s early 90s, most black men weren't that vocal. We talk much differently now. The louder we talk the more cacs get ready.
We need to talk but Obama isn't gonna do much except try to find that safe space between WS and Black Empowerment and that isn't something that comes easily. It will take decades maybe centuries to find proper resolve.
Lebron is the leader of the social athlete, he knows that and does his job but the killings and wrongd doing don't and won't stop until we're more respected as people and conversation won't do that.
