Why did Michael Jordan never use his giant megaphone? White America didn’t want to hear it (via latimesopinion)
of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery jogging down a street near his neighborhood in Brunswick, Ga., before being hunted down and confronted by two armed white men. Gunshots can be heard. Arbery’s limp, black body can be seen falling to the ground. And just like that, another hashtag is born.
All that is a significant departure from the apolitical approach Michael Jordan embraced throughout his playing days, something I’ve been thinking about as ESPN is airing “The Last Dance,” its 10-part docuseries about Jordan. That is essentially what President Obama meant in his appearance in the docuseries when he said “America is very quick to embrace a Michael Jordan or an Oprah Winfrey or a Barack Obama, so long as it’s understood you don’t get too controversial around broader issues of social justice.”
