Mike fell short, in the mid 90s with politics. For sure. I think in hindsight, he can see it. He ain’t rise to the occasion or follow tradition as being one of the ones (there is a black comfortability, detachment, surface level acceptance of white society and lull you to sleep game....that Mike & OJ....and other successful black people were under at the time...Ceime Bill we criticize now...was bipartisan and got major support from Black leaders etc. Its some more ****, I’d touch on with politics, race, sports etc....at another time. But it’s complex and a thing.
Mike understood it better than OJ tho....but it was a thing in the late 80s/90s). It’s a fair criticism of him Tho. He ain’t step up. Yo far from perfect.
That said....he’s done a lot of good, too. And from another brother to another....I think it’s clear how he rocking. He wanna see black folks win. He got blind spots, is selfish, a borderline degenerate and some other ****....but in the course of progress and specifically black progress...I think he on the right side of history.
