Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on Michael Jordan: ‘He Took Commerce Over Conscience’

[loyola llothta]

Im just saying if we cool with jordan, entertainers, politicians...etc


Why you cant this apply to regular black folks/or black who "made it"


Its no reason to build and create by unifying..


No reason to buy black. No reason to help black institutions. Its no reason "black" U.S president should signed on bills that would keep blacks safe from by killer cops



We should all do for self.......like we been doing

Kids aint buyin the Js. Grown ass men are

Nikka shut the fukk up

talk about the lack of reinvestment in your community then say nobody has any responsibility to invest in your community brehs

People responsible for investing in the black community are the blacks living in the black community. That's how every other race does. You don't see Mexicans sitting around waiting for their celebrities to empower them. Mexican empowerment starts with poor illegals coming here and practicing group economics. Sitting around waiting for someone to swoop in and save you isn't going to get it.

Nikka shut the fukk up

I thought so . All that intellectual bullshyt you was hollerin out the window now

Halfbait ass nikka

We need more black billionaires like Jordan but I wished he didnt target young black kids for his expensive but shytty quality shoes.

everbody buys J's, not me but every race, creed and color buys those fukkin shoes.

 

[posterchild336]

spend $200-400 on shoes that almost every nikka has to impress bytches yu probably won't even fukk....brehs

any chick that is impressed by jordans shows the quality of chick they are

Because black people who made it already don't do shyt for their community. Yall gotta,stop pretending selflessness in the BC is a thing. It's not. nikkas are for themselves. At every level.

You guys talk about how black empowerment starts with building wealth in your communities.

And yet the second someone of color is in a position to spearhead such empowerment, you're quick to give them a pass and hop on that "everyone is out for themselves" argument.

And the way you justify this is to point at other white rich people and say that they don't get caught up in social issues or "white empowerment".

As if the black experience/predicament is anything like the white one.

Simple nikkas love Jordan. ..It's not hard just look how nikkas love Obama and Kendrick lamar , the Clinton family etc.


They will let fuk shyt slide if they like the person/or the person bring black excellence until some real shyt pop off like bill Cosby "pound cake" or when bill Carson agree with Mexicans immigration thing

I made that point with the last line

Lol the sad thing is, dudes don't even buy Jordan's to impress girls they do it to impress other dudes.

 

[GetInTheTruck]

Mj don't owe nobody shyt. At least he doesn't put up no fronts. Kareem is an eloquent do nothing, this is the same clown upset cause he didn't get a statue outside staples center. Foh.

Be a hater brehs

 

[philmonroe]

I never understood this "stop buying Jordan's" stance dudes got. It's necer stop buying video games, stop buying electronics, or stop buying alcohol.

When did Jordan's get this stigma

Its a lot of subconscious crabs in the world my man. They are almost always using some "moral" ground to be right on some emotional stuff

 

[Cynic]

Jordan is a known a$$hole, and a greedy one at that. It's like when Kanye came out he was gonna do affordable shoes, but instead drops $800 shoes.

Shout to Starbury.

Jordan =/= Kanye

Kanye is a creative and can't release his own shoes without a big brand

Jordan has also revealed several times...he makes these shoes for suburban kids

Kareem always has been critical of Magic and Kareem....can't really blame him though

Those two are creating empires and black wealth

Creating the new black upperclass >>>>>> being a social activist pariah
