Michael Jordan: ‘I considered myself a racist’
Dan Feldman
May 7, 2014, 10:57 AM EDT
Michael Jordan, in Roland Lazenby’s, “Michael Jordan: The Life,” discussed his upbringing and his views on race as an elementary-school student. An excerpt (hat tip: Natalie Finn of E! Online):
Earlier that year, a girl at school called Michael a “nigger.”
“I threw a soda at her,” he recalled. “It was a very tough year. I was really rebelling. I considered myself a racist at that time. Basically, I was against all white people.”
I know where this is going: What’s the difference between Jordan and Donald Sterling?
For one, Jordan was a kid, someone with a narrow worldview due to lack of experience. Sterling’s hate comes despite a lifetime of opportunities to see the world differently.
Secondly, Jordan has changed. At that time, he was upset about the treatment his great grandfather – who had recently passed away – had received from whites throughout his life (Lazenby talked about that in his interview with PBT). Jordan’s anger was understandable, based on repeatedly seeing and hearing about whites establishing power over blacks and exercising it to do harm. Sterling came from a place of power, and he used it through housing discrimination and workplace harassment to keep minorities down.
In another excerpt from the book (full disclosure: I receive a free promotional copy), Jordan discussed the aftermath of that incident at school:
“The education came from my parents,” Jordan recalled. “You have to be able to say, OK, that happened back then. Now let’s take it from here and see what happens. it would be very easy to hate people for the rest of your life, and some people have done that. You’ve got to deal with what’s happening now and try to make things better.”
Jordan’s grade-school attitude wasn’t healthy. Jordan the adult knows that, and that’s what matters.
Nobody is perfect, but we should all try to learn and be better. Jordan did.

Remember how hard they tried to keep Jordan from purchasing a team ? how long it took, how stern took his number 1 draft pick away.....
if your white, your a racist, thats how you white boys are taking it !!!....right ?
we dont think that anymore then you think that your race is supreme...
why not make cartoons with non whites as the Lead Role for the next 10 years ?
it seems as though white peoples feel as though they got the short straw and so everything has to be white or else they will feel like theyre race is losing.... look at the patterns of Mac Miller, see how he constantly has to flip all scenarios, same with Aubrey you know him as Drake aka the elite....
on xbox or ps LIVE, its not black people yelling and calling me a nigger or spic..... so are you racist, NO, well i bet you know plenty who are !
i think racism is in your blood, and it diluted the many non whites, so thanks.....lol
but study your ancestry and see how your people became civilized..... 8)

I don't think Jordan knows the meaning of racist. I broke it down on ToT once.
Racism is the idea that one race is superior to the other. So if he thinks blacks are superior to whites, then he is a racist. BUT, if he just didn't like whites because of growing up in the south, then he is either prejudice, or a bigot.
Like Archie Bunker, he is a bigot. He was not a racist because he could not hold minorities down and he had no power using racist words on his couch. Now if Archie Bunker says "blacks smell, they are always dirty and whites are superior because we the clean race," then that's holding a racist view. Like athletes, if you say, "whites can't jump, blacks are naturally the superior athlete, therefore the superior race," that is ALSO a racist view. Now Jordan as an executive, if he doesn't draft a white player because he believes blacks are superior athletes and he refuses to have whites on his team, then Michael Jordan would be a racist. We don't know Jordan's views on white basketball players, but we do know he has white players on his team so Jordan has not been proven to be a racist.
Now on to Donald Sterling. Well talking to his girlfriend on the phone is actually not racist. What makes Donald Sterling a racist was denying people housing. Donald Sterling used his power to deny people a place to live. That's racist. Or if Donald Sterling would have said whites are superior to blacks, that's holding racist views. Now Sterling's conversation did instruct his girlfriend to not take pictures with black people, that's racial discrimination. Basically all around, you can point to Donald Sterling and say, yes, that man is a racist. Even though he has mostly black players, he looks at his players as his property and he controls them and owns them. That's very racist.
So all and all, the work racist is not something that can just be thrown out there. It's very complicated.

but blacks are superior athletes in general....so yea, the entire world is justifiably racist if they know whats up.

Which is why all gold medals in the Olympics are own by black people and soccer is dominated by Africa. The theory of blacks having different muscles or any other theory has been debunked so many times. There is no such thing as a superior athlete race. The US provides the best sports training in the world and many poor people use athletics to get to college. All science points to better training than race. All race theories of blacks being superior athletes is bullshit.

Yeah because Blacks dominate the soccer and swimming and ping pong and hockey and cricket(they did in the 80's but not since), racing, golf(tiger woods a one off), tennis(well the females do), Australian football(there are many great Aboriginal players but there's way more legendary white players), etc. But hey, Running, basket ball and American football then from what i see yes, female tennis yes, i don't know much about baseball?
What about UFC? i know there's been alot of great black boxers but what about other forms of fighting?

Pretty much this.

lol as if Asians are not on average smaller than blacks LMAO. iam white and iam like Godzilla to every Asian i have ever met(well there's the odd exception).
But this is the age old argument that blacks are superior physically and whites and Asian are superior intelligence wise.
I'd say that there is some truth in both but of course its not the case with every individual, perhaps on average though?
Apparently it is proven that blacks cannot handle alcohol as well as whites but eh.
Funny if Michale Jordan was hating white people during his career seeing as how many white ppl adored him. Even in Australia where we dont give a fuck about basket ball he was idolized and legendary. People collection trading cards and wearing Jordan shirts, a mate of mine had a big framed posted of him on his wall, etc.

Medicine does classify white, black and "red" (Asians and Latinos) because there are inherent differences, such as diabetes, hypertension and other things. Size mainly deals with where people spent thousands of years dealing with the sun and weather, just like skin color. But over time humans will balance themselves out, characteristics DON'T equal superior genes. The difference in genes of each race is so small that it basically only comes down to what you see. Difference is only skin deep. And well on average blacks and whites are taller than Asians and Latinos, there are some super tall Asians and Latinos and some short whites and blacks. I mean, yeah Jeremy Lin can pass to Dwight Howard, but Spud Webb could have passed to Yao Ming. And think of this, most countries no matter where they are on Earth, can find a 7 footer to play center.
Also, there are many countries in Africa that's average height is as short as nations in Asia.

I thought maybe you knew why American blacks are so much bigger, especially considering that Many African countries don't have nearly the height average. Okay, I will spell it out. There was this 200 year period were we brought over Africans. And 10 of millions died over the Atlantic Ocean. Only the strongest survived the trip. Once here the biggest and strongest were forced to have babies with the biggest and strongest women to have bigger and stronger babies. So after years of this, fast forward to now when you have a population is which taller characteristics survived and then mixed that with modern training. So Africans have never been found to be more athletic or taller than anyone else in the world. If blacks were superior it would start there. Instead in the US we have had hundreds of years of singling out certain characteristics.

No, because Africans as a race are not superior. If blacks were naturally superior, African countries would dominate the World Cup, and win all the medals. A race is not superior athletically. There is no race of humans that is superior athletically over the other naturally. Now, maybe American blacks have some advantage now, but in reality it's not like every single black person is born faster and stronger. Some are, but if blacks were superior then there would be NO whites in the NFL, NBA and someone would turn Southside Chicago into the great hockey producing community in the world. The belief that blacks are just naturally superior athletes is bullshit and has been disproven over and over again.

WELL, IN BASKETBALL, THE TALLER U ARE, THE BETTER (GENERALLY SPEAKING).....NOW UR JUST ARGUING FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT. FALL BACK.
Fall back, knowing you as long as I have I know that's you way of saying uncle and trying to save face. So with that said, glad we agree. Though Scandinavian Europeans are on average taller than American black people. Now that's arguing just for the sake of arguing, but I am also right.
Average height of a black man in America is 5'10, white man is 5'9" and in Scandinavia is 5'11".

I proved u wrong and u have nothing to say....only in the mind of a retard is me telling u that I just shitted in ur mouth the equivalent of saying "uncle"
American blacks, on average, are taller than Asians/Hispanics.....this is an indisputable fact. so based on these indisputable facts, the race of American blacks have evolved to be physically superior in regards to height. if you are too much of a dumbfuck to understand this, don't blame me, take it out on your inferior teachers.
and ur also further proving my point by saying Scandinavian's are taller....because all that means is that Scandinavian's are superior height wise, which further proves the notion that the literal definition of racism is backed by scientific fact.

Height is a characteristic, not proving superiority, because we all know how many gold medals are won from Norway.
You are trying hard to prove people are born athletically superior. What is proven to work is training. In fact, here is science.
http://www.nytimes.com/2000/08/22/science/do-races-differ-not-really-genes-show.html
''Race is a social concept, not a scientific one,'' said Dr. J. Craig Venter, head of the Celera Genomics Corporation in Rockville, Md. ''We all evolved in the last 100,000 years from the same small number of tribes that migrated out of Africa and colonized the world.''

Being taller is generally considered a bonus, so in that regard, yes, it does mean you're superior height-wise.........you're trying way too hard

Oh man... You are holding on to straws. You said specifically athletic, now you mention height.

"holding on to straws" (i think u meant 2 say grasping at straws) is u ignoring my main point, which is that certain races are proven superior in certain aspects, with height being the one we were able to agree on. so now that we got that out the way, u just goin in circles, like u about to do again right now.........

The article i posted with scientific facts turns you assumption on it's ear. Height is a product of placement on the Earth in order for humans adjust to climate. God damn you don't want to just admit you are wrong. There is NO SUPERIOR RACE. Am I arguing this with a Jewish person?? Well I seen it all.

I never said theres a superior race, I'm saying that in some cases, different races are superior in different aspects.. Is it due to evolution? Potentially.. But ur ignoring my main point and using strawman arguments. Step it up.

Really, because I pointed out that people vary from Spud Webb to Dwight Howard, and that no one race is truly taller or faster than any other. For every Usian Bolt there are hundreds of black people who can't run for nothing. For every Michael Phelps, there are hundreds of white people who are better off playing WoW. For every Dwight Howard, there are thousands of black people under 6 feet tall. You look at the exceptions, but the exceptions give us Yao Ming, Pau Gasol and Eduardo Najera. The exceptions are easy to point at, but 99% of us live in the real world.
Put it in simple terms, genes for height are not depended on race. It's why two brothers can be different heights, hell even father and son. Within families some are taller and some are shorter. Height is not genetic in terms of race, it's a characteristic. Some white people run a faster 40 yard dash than most black people. Johnny Football ran a 4.56 40 yard dash, faster than any QB not named Terrelle Pryor. Many black receivers didn't run that fast.
As I said, the most important thing is training. I know I played football, and I ran a 4.58 40 yard dash. I had many black teammates, 4 of them ran faster than 4.50. You know why, training. We had some slow dudes who got down to 4.60. Our coach also coached track and had us running hurdles and doing stretches to loosen our legs. The ones who dedicated themselves the most ran sub 4.50 and they all got college scholarships to D1 schools. It was the training, I saw it with my own eyes. Dudes who were slow, and after 2 years, by junior year, they were blazing down the field. The best coaches can coach speed. It's not race, in college I use to love when a black guy who ran track challenged me to a race. I smoked them, left them eating dust. One Mexican had a black kid challenge me as a joke. Training is key. What you see on TV doesn't just happen, what you are seeing is the players who worked their ass off.

Here we are wit the circles again :stupid:
Did we not already agree that American blacks are in general taller? I don't give a fuck about spuds webb, shut the fuck up with your strawman arguments, ON AVERAGE, American blacks are taller, and we already agreed on that so SHUT THE FUCK UP

By 1 inch. Damn you getting mad. Admit height is a characteristic and blacks are born naturally more athletic and we good.

LOL "BY 1 INCH"...
TELL HIM NOT TO USE STRAWNMAN ARGUMENTS....USES STRAWNMAN ARGUMENTS
MY WORK IS DONE HERE (WEL IT WAS DONE LONG AGO, BUT WERE BEATING A DEAD WHORE NOW)

If anyone is using strawman it's you, because you originally claimed blacks were born athletically superior to everyone else, and used the NBA as your argument. I threw the whole globe as to proof that's wrong, then you decided to go with height, which I proved was a produced of climate, not race, and on top of that an article that says races are 99% the same, the only difference is what you can see.
My advice, take a basic college entry biology class, learn about genealogy and you will learn race has really nothing to do with height or anything else. That is all.

BUT UR MISSING MY MAIN POINT AND HANGIN ON TO SOMETHING THAT IS IRRELEVANT TO THAT.....THATS WHAT A STRAWMAN IS. WHAT THE FUCK KINDA COLLEGE DID U GO TO, UEI?
IF IT'S A PRODUCT OF CLIMATE, THEN CERTAIN RACES EVOLVED IN CERTAIN WAYS, MEANING CERTAIN RACES HAVE ADVANTAGES IN CERTAIN AREAS....UV GONE FULL RETARDED

The article I posted pointed out correctly that we are not an old enough species to have really evolved past our current human form. In order for height to truly be important to race, people would have to stay still in a certain place for 100,000's of years, until all people from that region are 100% 6'5" or 5'4". Instead humans are ever moving around the globe. Humans have been migrating from place to place constantly since we left Africa. So as we move place to place, some start to see height difference, skin color difference and other characteristics that come from living a certain place. Average height in the United States is 5'9", average height in Europe is 5'9", and Russia is 5'9". Average height in Africa is 5'6", Average height in South America is 5'6" and Asia without Turkey and Russia is 5'6.5." So distance from the sun is a GREAT influence to average height. When you break it down by country then you see it even more clearly. But I decided to go with this because it deals with race.
So what happens when people are moved around the globe. Well in the case of African Americans, the nations they come from are full of short people, but once they were forced from their homes only the strong survived. At the same time because they came to North American they grew taller, on par with the national average of the United States. But after only 350 years, that's not enough time for evolution. If it was evolution then any changes could not be undone. But if you were to take the entire African American population, move it to a place closer to the equator and then not give them the quality of life as in the United States, you'd see the average height go down. So height is NOT attached to race. It's a characteristic.
Basically genealogy says that height is a dominate characteristic. It's like dark hair, brown eyes and big feet. Height is something that is on an individual bases, NOT race. As I said, if people were frozen in place for 100,000's of years, then yes it would be part of evolution. But people move all the time. So were as my grandpa born in Mexico was only 5'7", both my dad and my uncle were 5'11", and then I had 2 uncles who were 5'7" and 5'8". But all were taller than my grandpa, and it wasn't like my grandma came from a tall family, as my grandma was only 5'2". But moving to the United States provided a better quality of life, and colder climate, therefore my dad and his brothers grew way taller than their parents. But if I move my family back to Mexico, then I can guarantee my two sons would be shorter than me, I'm 5'10".
So height has not been proven to be determined by race, anyone can move wherever they want and they'd adjust. It's not a racial thing, it's a HUMAN RACE thing.
