Basketball Hall-of-Famer Michael Jordan reveals he was racist toward white people when he was growing up.
In a new book entitled “Michael Jordan: The Life,” the six-time NBA champion told author Ronald Lazenby his hatred for white people when he was younger stemmed from the North Carolina community he grew up in having a huge Ku Klux Klan influence.
....“As I started looking at newspapers back in this era when I was putting together Dawson Jordan’s [Michael’s great-grandfather] life, the Klan was like a chamber of commerce. It bought the uniforms for ball teams, it put Bibles in all the schools.

Also, notice the quote from the author about the Klan putting BIBLES IN THE SCHOOLS??? That is NOT there by accident.
One more observation: the presence of the Klan, in the quote, is in the context of the life of Jordan’s GREAT-GRANDFATHER...not Michael.
The media reports I have seen are like this one: trying to implicate the Klan was the “chamber of commerce” in the 1970s.
Another thing not mentioned: the Klan was made up of men of the DEMOCRAT PARTY. DEMOCRATS.
They also forget to mention the Klan hanged blacks who registered Republican to vote.
Pray America wakes up
Uh oh, he must be about to release Air Jordan 6.0: “Curb-Stompin’ Whitey.”
“Michael Jordan: I Was Racist ‘Against All White People’ Growing Up”
Unlike other groups White people dont really care.
Two points
- anti-whitism is simply a proxy for anti Western culturism, which is a proxy for anti-Christianity.
- babies aren’t born “racist”, ie, hating others because of their skin tone. That has to be taught.
They MAKE you “care” by using the power of the State to impose their racism on you.
I’m shocked, shocked I tell ya
Did he hate all Democrats too?
Probably true though. I remember my aunt and uncle. My uncle was a doctor. He married my aunt when he was older. She was Catholic, he was not. He had already joined the Masons because all professional men then did. He was going to join the KKK also for the same reasons until my aunt pointed out to him that they were anti-Catholic. She had not been allowed to have a teaching certificate in Missouri during the 40s because of the Klan. A lot has changed. We had that shooting a few weeks ago by a man who was from the remnant of that culture. It still exists in rural Missouri and I’m pretty sure in a lot of places.
I’m sure what Mihael Jordan says about his youth is true. He did, however; forget to mention that the KKK was an off-spring of the Democrat Party. I don’t think he was taking a shot at religion with the Bible comment. He was just saying the Klan was part of the fabric of the community...buying uniforms for the kids, running the chamber of commerce, bying bibles, etc. It’s an ugly past.
I was raised in Oakland, myself. I’m white, but about half the kids in my schools were black. I was afraid of some of them, but so were most of the black kids. A bad person is a bad person. We had Martin Luter King Jr Birthday off way before it ever became a holiday. Race meant nothing to me or my classmates until puberty hit. Then, it seemed to hang over us...for reasons that no one could really explain. Still, basically everyone was very friendly. Oakland is very good that way....despite what you might read....well west Oakland was no place to go at night, but it’s getting better nowadays.
Anyway, the only bad experience I had was during the week the mini-series Roots was on—1977. The day after Kunte Kinte got his foot cut off was really intense. When walking home from 6th grade, I had to avoid the Junior High kids because they were mad at the white studnets. I got mad in return because I related to Kunte Kinte as much as anyone, I felt. Random anger directed at good people seemed mean-spirited and ugly to me.
That was the day I was first introduced to what I call, “Black Anger.” This is the black philosophy of embracing victim-hood and holding onto anger against people who died years and years ago and not about solving problems. Some of my best friends got caught up in it. One of my buddies who grew up just down the street is one of those stem-winding preachers in East Oakland embracing the rage. I, having grown up in the exact same environment, went to College. I looked for the success. He looked for anger. We both found exactly what we were looking for....
“They MAKE you “care” by using the power of the State to impose their racism on you.”
True that the state is different than an individual.
Sure they do.
They possess enough power so that collectively they can ensure blacks make up the majority of athletes in a given sport, thus restricting other professionals from achieving full employment.
Sports are now a racial monopoly and should be investigated under RICO and Anti-Trust.
LOL!
Team America—we all have AIDS.
Sick of this racial crap.
Jordan should have titled his ghost written book, “White Man Pay A Lot”.
At least he is honest enough to make the admission.
