Florida Neighbors Not Happy With Michael Jordan Who's Building a 'Walmart Size' Home

<quoted text>Actually, Bush flew to Texas almost every weekend. Let's say it costs $50,000 each time (which is a low estimate). By anyones standards, that is not a 'cheap vacation'. I tried to be behind Bush, but the way the election was rigged and his haste to take our boys to war (my nephew included) as well as his barely literate speeches, I just couldn't stand the guy. I was a Hillary girl but got behind Obama. He's doing alright and he's made a few mistakes but I expected as much. He's young and we knew that going into the booth. Is he a miracle worker? No. For the sake of our country, I'll settle for hard work and genuine commitment. I really never got that from the last administration.

<quoted text> Yeah Bush didnt do himself any favors with his lack of public awareness. I think u could say he wasnt very political like in that regard. Obama is rather like Clinton, very saavy and comfortable in front of the camera. As long as the President protects our soil I am happy with that. But I do agree that i think that Bush Jr had revenge to get back at that idiot Sadaam. But even we democrats agree (Obama, the Clintons0 that the world is a better place with Sadaam "gone". But unlike the democrats, the republicans dont wait to get the internatin community on board with us before we go ouot and place cowboy.

It is his money, you don't know what he donates. Stop saying black rich people should help black poor people. If someone said white help white wouldn't that be racist? People are people!

Why do you think Michael Jordan is building his home here in nice quiet, crime free Jupiter where it is 99% white?

If the richest black people spent their money helping uplift the poor blacks then I woundn't say anything about rich people splurging on themselves. Only a few rich Blacks spend money helping other Blacks. I'm mostly talking about investing in Black areas like Magic Johnson does and a few other rich black guys. I've never heard of anything Jordan has done to help Blacks, same as I never heard of Michael Jackson doing anything either. And us Blacks worship them cause they are rich.
All wealth belongs to God and you will be judged on how you spent your money. You can't take it with you but you can try to help the poor.

I have followed the NBA and other famous people and there are a lot of then that have sponsor or have organizations that help people; Micheal Jordan included. When people do good things, seldom is it reported but let something bad happen it is front page news for weeks.

Yawn you sound jealous! And believe it or not rich blacks do not owe poor blacks. And it would be nice if they help out the poor but they are not entilted too. If one is sick of being poor then they should get off their butts and get a better job or education.

<quoted text> Maybe jayrag's comments are too extreme, but it can never hurt when a black person that is successful takes a little time to give back to a struggling community, meaning that just making appearances (not money) can help provide enthusiasm for our youth. We had Bob Sanders from the Colts come by awhile back and it really motivated the kids that they could be like him one day.
Certainly Michael Jordan can do whatever he wants with his time and money, but God has blessed him into this positionin life and he has the opportunity to do a lot of good for others... If faith and morality might be what he is into.
