Michael Jordan: "I Can No Longer Stay Silent"
- Thread starter Big Boss
- Start date
Reading the comments on the Tweet is proof complaining is legitmately fun to some folks.
All kinds of "yeah but how bout that time he didn't saying anything"
This is why we're spinning our tires as a society because we can't focus on the task at hand without 2000 distractions.

This, but I'll let the jokes continue to fly. But it is very good to see him finally stand up & say something.

Michael Jordan: ‘I can no longer stay silent’
MICHAEL JORDAN: ‘I CAN NO LONGER STAY SILENT’
His statement on the shootings of African-Americans and the targeting of police officers
“As a proud American, a father who lost his own dad in a senseless act of violence, and a black man, I have been deeply troubled by the deaths of African-Americans at the hands of law enforcement and angered by the cowardly and hateful targeting and killing of police officers. I grieve with the families who have lost loved ones, as I know their pain all too well.
“I was raised by parents who taught me to love and respect people regardless of their race or background, so I am saddened and frustrated by the divisive rhetoric and racial tensions that seem to be getting worse as of late. I know this country is better than that, and I can no longer stay silent. We need to find solutions that ensure people of color receive fair and equal treatment AND that police officers – who put their lives on the line every day to protect us all – are respected and supported.
Jordan speaks out on shootings of African-Americans, police
“Over the past three decades I have seen up close the dedication of the law enforcement officers who protect me and my family. I have the greatest respect for their sacrifice and service. I also recognize that for many people of color their experiences with law enforcement have been different than mine. I have decided to speak out in the hope that we can come together as Americans, and through peaceful dialogue and education, achieve constructive change.
“To support that effort, I am making contributions of $1 million each to two organizations, the International Association of Chiefs of Police’s newly established Institute for Community-Police Relations and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. The Institute for Community-Police Relations’ policy and oversight work is focused on building trust and promoting best practices in community policing. My donation to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the nation’s oldest civil rights law organization, will support its ongoing work in support of reforms that will build trust and respect between communities and law enforcement. Although I know these contributions alone are not enough to solve the problem, I hope the resources will help both organizations make a positive difference.
“We are privileged to live in the world’s greatest country – a country that has provided my family and me the greatest of opportunities. The problems we face didn’t happen overnight and they won’t be solved tomorrow, but if we all work together, we can foster greater understanding, positive change and create a more peaceful world for ourselves, our children, our families and our communities.”
Is the sky falling ?????????????

People get murdered over valuable items every day. Why does Jordan have to speak out for his brand and every major brand owner in the owner in the world doesn't have to?

Why do I have a crazy image of MJ being forced against his will to make this statement? 
Maybe he's actually becoming woke. Maybe he's trying to kill his
image for good.
Or maybe he's full of shyt
Either way...This is wayyy out of character for MJ. I really hope he's sincere about his statement. The same black men that's getting shot by cops are the ones buying his sneakers and supporting his brand.

I appreciate the gesture he made, but I hope he realizes that this should be just the beginning for him, not a means to an end.
