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.

So what you will but good t see MJ speaking out and putting his $ where his mouth is ...

GOAT status ...

Funny how he didn't speak up against the injustice until now.

Where was he to speak on b on b crime?

Where was he to speak on the out of control police force?

Valid criticism ...all of them.
In that respect Lebron has surpassed his idol.
He has spoken out on matters that Mj remained silent on.

However his dad WAS murdered ... so I think he has a unique perspective.

Never heard him refer to himself as proud black man or african-american ... baby steps.

GOAT coming back confirmed? He'd easily win MVP/FMVP honors if he came back next season to win his 7th.

Agreed he IS a corporate whore.
But doesnt mean he cant see as he gets older the error of his ways.
Yes, he could push Nike to lower the price of his shoes ... but if he did ... the urban culture would move on to something else.
Just like Apple and their high priced products ...part of the cache is the price.
Urban youth dont want "bargains" they want the status that comes with wearing the newest $200 plus shoes even if that means staying on welfare to do ...

He only did it because he was getting roasted in the media. He doesn't really care as evidenced by all of his silence over the years. Heck, he probably didn't even write that, one of his assistants probably did with him just ironing out the details.

OMG:lmao..I've been overseas the past few days, haven't been able to listen to American media's take on this, but I bet White people are eating it up, tbh..their hero has finally spoken..

The first line is all you have to read, though..


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

African-Americans = deaths(ambiguous)
Law Enforcement = cowardly, hateful, targeted killing


And the audacity of this nigga to mention his father:lmao

BL=M (if law enforcement)
B cancels out B so to B, BL /=M

For B, L=M. L being exclusive to B and only that B.

Ergo the BLM really only means My Life Matters if B = true. It doesn't mean YOUR life matters if B = true.
