Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand announce $100 million donation to social justice organizations

Charlotte Hornets owner and Basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan and his Jordan Brand have pledged $100 million over 10 years to organizations "dedicated to ensuring racial equality, social justice and greater access to education," Jordan Brand announced in a statement Friday afternoon.

"The Jordan Brand is us, the Black Community," the statement begins.

It continues: "It’s 2020, and our family now includes anyone who aspires to our way of life. Yet as much as things have changed, the worst remains the same.

Black lives matter. This isn’t a controversial statement. Until the ingrained racism that allow our country’s institutions to fail is completely eradicated, we will remain committed to protecting and improving the lives of Black people."

When's the last time tRump donated $100MM to anything, much less social justice causes. Rumor has it he can't even pay the interest on his loans owned to Deutsche Bank. What a loser!
