    Why can't people hold themselves accountable for their own actions? Micheal Jordan has been releasing these same shoes since I was 12, now I'm 44. These shoes are nothing but material items and anybody who is willing to take a life for an item that cost around $200 is truly sad and unaware of how they hinder their own abilities to create the same wealth as Micheal Jordan did for himself.

    Michael Jordan is a person who lives his life the way he sees fit. Do I think he's someone who does things for the black community, no. He has a product that's putting money in his pocket. And if you think about it maybe that's why he's so successful.

    Not too surprising. You would expect that Jordan was once a very different person before he became the canonized, white washed global commercial product that he is now. I remember in one of his previous books he said he put a tribal theme in the design of one of the Air Jordans as a nod to his African heritage. Which surprised me since Jordan has always appeared to avoid ever acknowledging his own Blackness in any way.
    Oh well. Whatever Jordan's views as a kid, ironically it seems that he overcame his "racism" by hunting for young White girls at the club every week.

    @djakademiks Bro, I totally agree with you that Jordan could do more for the black communities. However, I always felt this way about all black modern leaders today. For example you brought up people getting killed in Chicago. And how Jordan doesnt speak on it. Thats, right. BUT! Oprah doesnt too! People are getting killed less than 15 miles from her studio on a weekly bases. But SHe Has A all Girl school, IN AFRICA. To give you a little story of my own. I currently live in Compton, and I have been living here for over the past 15 years of my life. .... Didnt Doctor Dre sign a Billion Dollar with Apple?.... And people may argue that might not be getting the full billion but 700Mil or 300Mil or so.... Whatever..... You think a cent has been invested or changed a community here. Dont BE FOOLED!.... My point is that some one (person,company,Government, religious group) maybe not allowing them to do those things. And if they do it affects there business. The game is deeper than rap Son" I digress...

    The example of the chiraq stuff, I don't know that that is any sort of hypocrisy. It's ideological rather than practical. "Ideological" as in why is the black community the way it is? Historical context and who has the poer and control.
    What you say about about the limited releases is very true. People commit crimes for valuable things because they see no better option. Talking about Sterling is important because it an example of the cherry-picked cream of the crop being exploited by people who not only don't like them, but actually hate them. He can speak on it, but that release thing is irresponsible. It doesn't necessarily even make more money for him. Might do in publicity.
