Somehow Jordan overcame all that "institutionalized and economic racism."

Weird right? Guess my plan to buy me some hair jordans just walked away. Just kidding. I haven’t bought any nike products for decades due to their “wokeness”.

How equal do we need to get?

Black 100%
Whitey and everyone else 0%

That seems like the equality they are seeking.

If they divvy it up right, might cut down on looting.

I guess Mike doesn’t see the irony of an American of African Descent having $100,000,000 to give away.

" . . . will donate $100 million in social organizations dedicated to helping change institutionalized and economic racism bestowed upon the black community."

If the hundreds of billions we've already spent haven't done the job, how will this? What form does this institutional and economic racism take, and how will this money fix it?

My guess is that the money will almost entirely go to the salaries of members of the social justice industry, which has nothing to gain and everything to lose by actually solving whatever they think the problems are.

In other words, 'The Human Fund'.

Someone define “Racial Equality”. Does that mean we have to give MORE MONEY?

I wouldn’t be surprised if every day life changes for many of us. Interactions will be different. When blacks, liberals and democrats say “we need to have a conversation,” the last thing they want is to have a conversation. It is a setup. Either agree and be humiliated or state your peace and be called ugly named. Similar to feminists who claim they want equality but they really want domination. But this situation is much grander. This will empower and cause trouble for the most easy-going among us. The democrats know what they are doing. The brainwashing of the youth has worked. Pop culture, public education and media, the three enemies of society.
