has committed to donating $100 million over the next 10 years to organizations that are dedicated to fighting racial equality.
“Black lives matter. This isn’t a controversial statement,” Jordan said Friday in a letter from his company, Jordan Brand. “Until the ingrained racism that allows our country’s institutions to fail is completely eradicated, we will remain committed to protecting and improving the lives of Black people.”, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery. People across the U.S. and beyond have taken to the streets to call attention to police brutality and systemic racism.
“Today, we are announcing that Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand will be donating $100 million over the next 10 years to organizations dedicated to ensuring racial equality, social justice and greater access to education,” the statement said.to speak out against racial injustice, saying, “I stand with those who are calling out the ingrained racism and violence toward people of color in our country. We have had enough.
10 years? that gives him plenty of time for this situation to fade away and then conveniently forget about today's comments.
MJ looked at Sony Music’s donation and said hold my beer
Thank you Michael God bless you..love you one love❤❤
Start with eji_org
Can he put some of that towards stopping black kids in gangs from killing other black kids in gangs? blacklivesmatter
Why everyone thinks that the way to change things are the organizations? The real change is in us.. don’t you learn from this stupid virus? Yeah the politics move the money but we are the ones who move the economy and beyond, we can do more together.
Well done, GOAT!
Waste of money, what you need is a new political party
sexyindia About time
incredible. GOAT.
Very generous! Well done Mr. Jordan! ❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Nike and the Jordan brand committed to donating $100 million over the next 10 years. The money is essentially coming from Nike, not Jordan.
He isn’t donating 100 million, he AND the Jordan brand (who brings in 10x that in revenue) *committed* to that amount over THE NEXT 10 YEARS, which amounts to 10 million a year and who knows where that money will actually go.
Money from the ash tray to him. Much needed funds for change for others.
Love Michael, gracious he’s able to donate to this cause. I’d like to see how this money is distributed in detail to learn. I see brand new organizations being uprooted to take part. May it be for the up and up. Best for Michael.
xebatrocas Seguro alguien le dijo que donaria 50 y eso fue suficiente para el.
Celebrities-what a fuckin’ joke!!money and status takes over their reality of being a human being!idiots using money to solve from way back and today still sinking in the quick sand!!donate all they want and hatred & ignorance will still win over money!shame brain isn’t there!
He’s a billionaire. This is like $5 to him.
A rich man can spend money for the poor ones. Others only do talk and talk and talk, but do not donate because talking is for free.......think about it...
That’s a billion. Bravo
Throwing money at problems solves nothing. We need mentors, education, rebuilding communities, investing in businesses all from prominent people. They need to get their hands dirty and do the hard work.
He really probably thinks white people are suckers. Lol.
Praise!
Don't worry. He's got plenty of more money from white people than he knows what to do with.
Wow, that would be a nice support for a lot of organizations congrats on giving back to the community Respect
How much fucking money does he have
And he didn’t donate to blue organizations. (This time) 🙄
WOW
JOSH_BENNY take notes
Tax write off
JJ4DPoker !!
It's just to own Lebron, you know that right
Oh good, this will solve everything.
QINGORACLE you channeled this one, right?
'The Jordan Brand is us, the black community'
What a wonderful legend! Other should learn and grow MichaelJordan
Good I hope they go broke soon
Thank you Mr Jordan. Hope more Leaders/Musicians/Actors etc. follow lead and really show Black Lives Matter by helping to raise programs to uplift minorities and ALL races that are economically challenged and with disadvantages!!
Michael - welcome to the fold! We are glad you have stepped into your full throne.
Fook
What’s the side bet?
Stop charging $220 for shoes that cost 5 dollars to make would be a great start.
I wonder how many black people paid for and died for his shoes/brand? Y’all are amazed about the 100 million dollars over ten years when his brand made 3.1 billion dollars in 2019 alone! Chump change for him .
Only $100M?
GarcelleB I ❤️ that he is donating, but he should play an active role on where those dollars are going. Unfortunately, not all profits provide the services they claim to provide. Two thumbs up if they do!
Afterthought.
You would think he’s privileged, not just us white folks
That’s goat money
What this means is more people paid to come up with racism where there isn't one, to ignore the fact that more white ppl get killed by police than black ppl and present incidents like Geroge Floyd as 'police are hunting black men' more diversity (racial discrimination) etc.
I can finally feel proud of my ridiculous sneaker addiction
And Disney only donated $5 million. Go MJ!
DanielRPK

rufat_zeynalli Virgil got strong contender

👏💧Respect. Respect The Legend. MichaelJordan is well known as talent basketball player, but there's always something left to be heard for the rights. BlackLivesMatter 👏👏👏
Wow! That’s insanely huge amount of money. Great!
WOWWWWWWW
A bit of a switch to his “republicans buy sneakers too” mindset.
DanielRPK Holy shit that’s a lot
WOW
How much Lebron donated so far? Zero?
