His family dealt with sex abuse allegations.

In 1975 Michael Jordan’s sister, Sis, accused their father—Michael’s lifelong hero—of sexually abusing her as a child (she evidently included this in a book she independently published, In My Family’s Shadow). According to Sis, after her mother called her a slut on the way to work, she responded, “If I’m such a slut, why don’t you keep your husband out of my bed?”

After detailing for her mother the allegations, Sis claimed that they confronted her father, who in a rage choked her while yelling, “Are you going to believe this tramp over me?” Then, after they returned home, Sis maintained that her mother, Deloris, said she would have to be sent away to a girls’ home because all three could no longer live under the same roof. Nothing ever came of that threat, and the family moved on.

When the NBA banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life based on racist comments made in conversations recorded by an alleged mistress, one of the issues raised was what type of precedent the league was setting.
For instance, what if Michael Jordan were recorded making similar comments? Would NBA commissioner Adam Silver ban for life arguably the greatest living basketball player (and current owner of the Charlotte Bobcats), too?
Well, Jordan offered some eye-opening comments of his own about race, in a book released Tuesday.
The book, "Michael Jordan: The Life," is a biography of His Airness written by Roland Lazenby. In it, Jordan explains how growing up in an area of North Carolina heavily influenced — and sometimes even funded — by the Ku Klux Klan in the 1960s and '70s shaped his views on race . . . and they were far from what would be viewed as politically correct.
Reportedly, these views really took shape shortly after Jordan watched the iconic television miniseries "Roots," and after a girl at his school called him the N-word in 1977.

"So I threw a soda at her," Jordan says in the book. "I was really rebelling. I considered myself a racist at the time. Basically, I was against all white people."
The book also includes anecdotes of Jordan's time on the school baseball team, when he was one of only two black players and was called inferior while on the team.
In many ways, the book serves as a testament to Jordan's drive, which many people close to him believe was fueled by negative experiences, particularly in his early life.
Former Chicago Bulls general manager Jerry Krause says in the book that Jordan "remembers everyone who ever didn’t think he was going to be great. He remembers every negative story that’s ever been written about him."
Jordan was among the first NBA owners and high-profile figures in the sport to go on record against Sterling's comments when they were first released, issuing this statement:
"I look at this from two different perspectives — as a current owner and a former player. As an owner, I'm obviously disgusted that a fellow team owner could hold such sickening and offensive views. I'm confident that (NBA commissioner) Adam Silver will make a full investigation and take appropriate action quickly. As a former player, I'm completely outraged. There is no room in the NBA — or anywhere else — for the kind of racism and hatred that Mr. Sterling allegedly expressed. I am appalled that this type of ignorance still exists within our country and at the highest levels of our sport. In a league where the majority of players are African-American, we cannot and must not tolerate discrimination at any level."




CACS are going wild in the comments section

That was until that nikka shot and killed his daddy. Cheese has been on some ever since.

I grew up that way too. I was raised to be racist against whites. I am not like that anymore.

Some white people are cool. Some black people are cool. Shyt doesn't matter to me on an individual level. In aggregate there are patterns though about all races, and some of these "patterns" annoy the fukk out of me.

Michael Jordan Admits Racism: 'I Was Against All White People' - NBC News

Per an excerpt from the book, Jordan told Lazenby that he was suspended from school in 1977 after throwing a soda at a girl who called him the N-word.

"So I threw a soda at her," Jordan's quoted as saying. "I was really rebelling. I considered myself a racist at the time. Basically, I was against all white people."

Guess the money changed that to hate towards nikkas
