Michael Jordan came out of the closet to support our police officers.
In a statement shared via The Undefeated on Monday morning, Jordan said the following:
“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.

I guess we are not going to see his name on the schedule of speakers at the dem convention.
Sad.
Anyone who doesn’t agree and stay in line with the democrat suppression of blacks is either a racist or an uncle Tom. Very simple rule to remember.
BLM is that lab experiment that escaped...like one of those SYFY Channel movies, to wreak havoc ... That causes humanity to unite to destroy it...
When the voices of reason are silenced, totalitarianism is not far off.
Like Africanized honey bees?
Let’s see how the liberals on ESPN report this. I’m especially interested to see what Stephen A. Smith has to say. He’ll probably agree with MJ. I damn sure do.
No middle ground.
No compromise.
Alrighty then.
“Republicans buy basketball shoes too”
This guy would be called a TOM too.

Black culture is currently failed and is one of death and destruction and must be stopped and turned around. Those criminals who don’t abide, needs to be destroyed
How dare he stray from the Democrat plantation!
I heard that Michael denied ever saying that.
I hope the good black people in this country understand how the BLM fools are completely ruining their image in this country. Analogous to all those “moderate” Muslims I hear so much about.
Jordan should be more troubled by the number of African-Americans killed by other African-Americans. Or the disproportionate number of violent crimes commited by African-Americans.
Casually seeing this topic in other sources, I thought Jordan was joining BLM!
“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...
...
“Divisive Rhetoric” and “Racial Tensions” should be Obama’s nicknames.
I like how he started his statement.
This “Tom” is good too.
Lots of bad language be forewarned.
