Kanter calls out Jordan, "what has he done for the Black community?"

[Hey Yo]

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter called out basketball legend Michael Jordan during a Sunday appearance on CNN, saying the former Chicago Bulls star "hasn't done anything" for the Black community "because he cares too much about his shoe sales."

Kanter, speaking with host Pamela Brown, compared Jordan to Lebron James, who has been vocal in his political activism.

"Not many people are talking about Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan hasn't done anything, nothing, for the Black community in America besides just, you know, giving them money. I feel like we need to call out these athletes. At least Lebron James is going out there and being the voice of all those people who are oppressed in America," Kanter, an exile of his native Turkey, told Brown.

"But Michael Jordan has not done anything for the Black community because he cares too much about his shoe sales all over the world and America, and I feel like we need to call out these athletes and not be scared about who they are," he added.

He's gone too far now. Michael Jordan has no obligation whatsoever to do anything for the black community. Just like a Chinese person has no obligation to do anything for the Chinese community.

Kanter is a CIA asset through his association with Fethullah Gulen and his "Gulenist" movement.

Why is MJ obligated to do something for the black community? What an idiot.

[Manny98]

He's a clown, he went after LeBron on social media yet didn't say shit to him when he saw him in person the other day

He cant help himself :oldlol: he has a sickness

[rawimpact]

MJ has done a lot for the black community. I live ~3hr north of Wilmington and he's well regarded even here. Just recently I recall him donating millions to open medical clinics to serve a heavily black neighborhood.

[expansionera]

MJ is a known sell out, just look at his wife. Lebron is a King who has always kept it real

If he's on CNN, this is an establishment-sanctioned message.

Don't forget, according to the World Economic Forum, by 2030 you'll own nothing and be happy.

Capitalism is being reigned in by the people at the top. They're training a younger generation to not seek material and mobility (reserved only for the elite).

It's gonna start with turning people against more trivial things like fancy sneakers. Eventually it will continue to various household appliances etc. Don't buy new ones. Just rent them as needed from the government in exchange for doing as you're instructed. You can start by getting your vax.

Here we go!

Lebron is my brother. I love him through and through and I ride with my Lebron Fam.

When he’s politically vocal on social media it can put me in a bit of an awkward spot, because I wont attack my brother. Im not havin that, and Im not havin anyone go at my sweet beautiful brother. Im gonna protect my brother. But these others clowns in the league who say similar things need to be called out for going full retard.

But not Lebron.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Kanter doesn't really know what hes talking about here. And neither would most of us (myself included) if we tried to level this criticism. Jordan, like a lot of people on his level, has an organization to do his charitable work for him. If you want to be a busybody about it you can track what the James R Jordan foundation does for people and argue that they/he should be doing more but that kind fo activity isn't particularly admirable.

Kanter may want to be more careful in general with these statements. The Chinese government is awful, Nike and the other businesses that deal with them are bad for dealing with them, and if the NBA was serious about justice they wouldn't be doing business over there. But we don't see Kanter ending his NBA career so he's on the take himself, and furthermore if he wants to confront a Nike guy or a Jordan brand guy he shares a locker room with at least one of them in Jayson Tatum. Im surprised we have yet to hear about Tatum being questioned about this and/or Kanter being questioned about Tatum. If I was a reporter that's exactly where I would be going. And then you would see this becoming a potential problem for the Celtics. Not a major problem but it could be annoying.

I'm kind of torn when it comes to this topic. On one hand mj dosn't owe anyone anything. All he owes is to his immediate family really. On the other hand it would be nice if mj stood up for more social issues. His voice would carry alot of weight.

To me bron is way worse than mj because mj dosn't really pretend to be a hero on social issues. Bron on the other hand does so when he ignores some of the things canter speaks on it makes bron look like a hypocrite.

Yeah, the problem is if you legitimately threaten to lead field hands against establishment interests... at best you end up frozen out by the media, at worst you end up like Malcolm and MLK.

Or you can be a fake leader, and be More Than A Athlete, and provide massa-approved messages while sleeping in the house with the establishment.

If MJ wants to "go woke" (which is the wrong message) he'll get plenty of public credit and adulation from brainwashed NPC zombies. If he wants to spit real truth he'll just be vilified and silenced and have the zombies turned against him by the media who control them, and rumors will surface that he's in league with Orange Man etc.

The world is as Orwell described it.

Granted, it's not much for someone with as much money as MJ. Others with less have given more. Still, it's hardly "nothing".

Giving money and speaking out aren't the same thing.

Also, if Kanter's point is correct (I have no idea if it is) then MJ basically donated blood money.

Not that the people who receive it care. You could give RR3 and bladefd and the boys a million dollars of blood money and they wouldn't hand it back in a billion years.

But they'll tell you theyre super woke to the injustice yo.

In Chicago he won but he rarely did interviews...charity events or service in Chicago. He's always been tied to North Carolina.

Kanter seems pretty hateful and disrespectful, no surprise looking at what and who he supports. What's wrong with all these hateful communists being all loud disrespecting everything while getting millions from all these wealthy white men. Stfu and play basketball you hypocrites. MJ and Kobe were smart and DECENT.. Not perfect, no one is silly snowflakes.

Devils.

Yeah its a complicated topic. Not everyone is qualified to speak on such important and complicated issues. I think mj knows this so he stays in his lane. Bron on the otherhand thinks he qualified but he really isn't. He dosn't see the depth and different dynamics at play and eventually he ends up looking like an ass like with this whole china issue. I think he had good intentions. He just didn't think everything fully through.

I haven't said anything because I don't care.

But since you brought it up; I don't need Kanter's criticisms of LeBron to know he's a piece of shit.

[ImKobe]

Is he trying to get blackballed from the NBA or something? I can't believe he's still getting NBA minutes after all the crap he's said. That's a massive distraction for the Celtics' locker room IMO.

Cs are on a 3 game win streak right now so it's not a problem yet. No one seems to care enough to take Kanter's stances up with Tatum or any Nike-affiliated teammates.

[WhiteKyrie]

Why would he be a two dimensional thinking racist and need to help people just cause of a similar skin color? That’s colorism and tribalism to a retarded level.

He doesn’t owe people of similar skin color, anything. And even then, I’m 100% positive he has.

Also, Donald Trump donated more to black colleges than Barack Obama ever did. So the public’s perception on altruism or racism isn’t exactly accurate.

What would Kanter know about what MJ did in the 90s charity wise? Especially locally in Chicago land or North Carolina? He lived in some crap hole foreign country.

Also, in regards to Jordan’s philanthropic endeavors, he didn’t do them to shamelessly self promote himself, like a certain LeLibtard nowadays. He did it without whoring himself out publicly promoting it.

[r0drig0lac]

Why should he? Who the hell is Enes Kanter to tell someone of Jordan's status what he should be doing lol.
this, ****ing scrub

[tpols]

Kanter is a loud mouthed guy whose even been publicly exiled from,his home country over comments. Its very likely his strings are being pulled by western governments to keep him safe from Turkeys supreme leader, so he's basically going to be a hardcore SJW liberal mouthpiece from now on despite the fact he sucks anyways and shouldn't have any say in anything.

Jordan generally kept out of politics. As it should be. Athletes despite their fame have no valuable knowledge over the average person when it comes to politics. Its not their realm.

"Not many people are talking about Michael Jordan," Kanter began. "Michael Jordan hasn't done anything, nothing, for the Black community in America besides just, you know, giving them money."
