Well, well, well...guess what I read about this morning. Michael Jordan made a public statement about the state this country is in.
“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,” Jordan writes in a one-page letter released exclusively to The Undefeated. “I grieve with the families who have lost loved ones, as I know their pain all too well.”
He has my respect and gratitude. Although he did not speak up soon enough for me, he put his money where his mouth is. His Airness is donating 2mil to charity to at least start a dialogue about the illness that permeates our society...racism and violence.
Both these states of mind are rooted in fear, how can we begin to alleviate it? Baby steps, baby steps and he appears to be moved to do something about it. Thanks Mike!!
Have to give it to him, he might be late, but at least he showed up.
Better late than never. This is a really good thing. All those that like Mike may want to be like Mike and stop the insanity. It is never to late.
