Charlotte Hornets owner and Basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan and his Jordan Brand have pledged $100 million over 10 years to organizations"dedicated to ensuring racial equality, social justice and greater access to education," Jordan BrandIt continues:"It’s 2020, and our family now includes anyone who aspires to our way of life. Yet as much as things have changed, the worst remains the same.
"Black lives matter. This isn’t a controversial statement. Until the ingrained racism that allow our country’s institutions to fail is completely eradicated, we will remain committed to protecting and improving the lives of Black people."
False. Back then wasn't social media 🤡
HollyWoodDrago2 All that money that Soros wont have to pay ! Cause you know Soros funds everything !

I would love to see celebs go meet with Congress to address these issues because I’m sure most of their donations go towards paying salaries and little to the actual cause, start getting a full accounting of how the money will be spent
Well done
DONT NO ONE WANT YOUR FAKE A***S MONEY. YOUR A RAT AND A SELL OUT. YOU FUND PRISONS THAT TARGET MINORITIES. NIKE SELL HIGH PRICED SHOES THAT MINORITIES HAVE DIED FOR OR LOCKED UP FOR. YOU TAXING ON BOTH SIDES. STREET AND PRISONS. SORRY AS OMEGA DOG.
'Jordan, who remained mostly silent on social issues during his days as a player..' MichaelJordan should apologize for his DECADES of apathy on injustice. When he was active, Black kids idolized him and he was adored by masses. He would've made a bigger difference then.
Do you think Lebron James will try to outdo Jordan?
He can afford the privilege to donate.
F*** the social justice orgs, just make a bunch of black people instantly middle class.
And all that money from all those celebrities will go down the rat hole just like the trillions we've spent on social programs, and nothing will change.
Hopefully some of this money will find its way to 1) change laws to reverse qualified immunity for government people 2) to educate & train law enforcement agencies that people have the right to protest in Amer 3) require real punishment for cop crimes, not just letters in a file
I wonder how happy he is knowing his lengthy, costly investment likely contributed to riots, where many of the victims were Black and Brown people...
Cassand29017794 I mean...how many millions does one person need to live a decent, fruitful life?
Horrible Headline

MJ in a different position now! I would again, his silence do not help during his playing career! Better question, who said he had to speak?
Who is going to match?
Very surprising considering he is one of the stingiest tippers in the sports world
Jumpman23 I understand sir, I understand how difficult it can be to build a brand as an African American man. And why it took until now, I honestly thank you for stepping up in this way, and I hope all is well on your end.
Where is Opera Winfrey, the billionaire.
Some people don’t want to be activists but they will donate to the cause! I’m not really mad at him!
Not to be disrespectful but what has he done for Chicago...
