Regarding Racism: Is Michael Jordan a Hypocrite?

[BallsOut]

"As a former player, I'm completely outraged. There is no room in the NBA -- or anywhere else -- for the kind of racism and hatred that Mr. Sterling allegedly expressed. I am appalled that this type of ignorance still exists within our country and at the highest levels of our sport. In a league where the majority of players are African American, we cannot and must not tolerate discrimination at any level," Jordan added.

Rapper, Chamillionaire, once requested Michael Jordan to have a photo together to which he replied “I ain’t taking pictures with no n*ggas.”

I find it ironic that MJ chose to speak up on racism against African Americans of all people. :biggums:

He didnt mean ****** as in black person. He meant he wasnt taking pictures with anyone unless they paid $15,000. Just the way African Americans speak. ***** refers to lots of nouns.

[L8krH8tr]

Theres a difference between a black person and a n**gger

He didnt mean ****** as in black person. He meant he wasnt taking pictures with anyone unless they paid $15,000.

Or had a beautiful white wife to give up.

What's crazy is Chamillionaire is one of the few rappers who does not curse in his music...He uses n*gga, or azz or something, don't get me wrong but he does not curse in his music...

[TheMan]

Yes because it's a known fact that Jordan is the only black person ever to use the word "niggah"...

That Denzel Washington scene in Training Day where he refers to Ethan Hawke as "my niggah!" was done by a voice over actor and wholly without Mr. Washington's consent.
:rolleyes:

Hypocrite? No. I think you misunderstood the whole exchange between him and Chamillionaire. His reaction did remind me of something however. When they 1st approached him, he declined to comment. It was very disappointing, as the only minority owner and icon of his stature he should have been the 1st to the table on this subject. But he has a history of avoiding controversial topics.. What's crazy is Lebron made a strong statement and Mj basically a day or 2 later ended up cosigning once the coast was clear. Heroes are supposed to be more than guys who excel with the ball in their hands, Mj was a role model for millions during his career. He may be more popular than guys who stood up for what the believed in, but he could never be as beloved.

He didnt use n,igga in that context.

[crisoner]

Air Hitler...LMAO

I have heard it all now.

[Dro]

I know, I was just pointing it out because I could understand if he were to shy away from an MC who was more vulgar, but Cham is one of the few who doesn't curse, although thats not to say some of his music isn't vulgar, but most of it isn't.

All this is just in case he was using it in that context...
