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 always think of what a burden for those who do break away from the party & disagree. Can’t be easy.
I saw it on sci-fi it’s called assholenado. Like sharknado only with democraps.
I’ve got an Uncle Tom.
I stopped watching the NBA when Jordan retired.
Now it’s just a club for thugs.
People don’t realize that Michael Jordan had a brother who served 31 years in the Marines and did tours in Iraq.
So, its not surprising that Jordan sympathizes with people who put on a uniform and serve either the nation (military) or the community (police, fireman).
Bad language as well, but similar message.

After a decade of socially dominant liberals saying whites are the cause of all bad in the world, the current generation should be segregated and suppressed to compensate for sins of the past, of course a black KKK can rise up and demand to be on the top of the social structure.
After all, white liberals have already said they are the new untouchable caste, at best tolerated if they self-flagellate enough. And unlike Islam, you can’t convert to move up the social pyramid, just avoid being outcast and shunned altogether.
I am not much of an nba fan, but there are actually some really standup guys among the leagues best talent. Yes, there are plenty of problem children too, but I don’t lump all in as bad.
No good deed goes unpunished. Black Lives Matter acts like they are the only group who are concerned about this.
“This is as balanced as it’s possible to get and he’s still being ripped to shreds.”
According to BLM, it’s called I want it all and no one else is as deserving as I am.

Micheal Jackson wasn’t black enough to be taken seriously by the blacker blacks.
Because being a TRUE American and patriot is being an Uncle Tom.
BLM needs to get OFF the “plantation” as Lincoln invited them to do in 1861.
He may have a Bill Cosby future ahead.
The article’s title isn’t even accurate. He have $1M to a police fund and $1M to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund to try to balance things out (without actually giving money to the hateful BLM organization).

Whoever tries to keep the peace is getting slaughtered. Unbelievable...all of this mess. I fail to see how this can all end well.
Jordan’s brother here at Bragg and still lives here and is a big Republican.
