Wow we have to do better what is better education or some MF Jordans wow
the memes write themselves.
This is what Boule came up with, but they talk about the less educated…SMH
MUST BE ENDORSEMENT
Black men exploit their community only to take the wealth to other community
Howard University has been given lots of historical art, books, etc donated by estates that wanted the materials archived and displayed by the University. No matter how it may look now the Jordan shoe was a phenomenal business enterprise initiated by an achieving African American and it's impact on the Black community should also be documented. Connecting music and sport achievement to the clothing industry was replicated by many future artists unlike anything we had seen before this. Remember Zora Neal Hurston's work was dismissed because of her right wing views during her time but years later the impact of her anthropological studies in her material has been revisited and now its genius and value to African American history is celebrated.
Kamala giving back 😮.
A wall of shoes!! How low the is the bar?
🤔 This reminds me of the time Clark Atlanta offered a business class on TRAP MUSIC… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 & people defended it 🤣 (so sadly I am not surprised 🤷🏾♀️)
We love promoting OVERPRICED items to the black community and this is one of the reasons that the black community is poor and many ways. now I am not saying this is the main reason, but one of many. These Jordans cost $25 to manufacture and the cheapest I found is around $125.00 which is not too bad, but this is no excuse for promoting this. We have kids from the projects fighting over Air Jordans when the family's total income is around $1,500 per month.
The herd mentality to possess a pair of Air Jordans presents a simpleton mindset, easily manipulated to relieve one of their 🤑
That just shows you that all of these schools are about a lot of nothing. They are sell out factories.
Disgusting
Ignorant!!!!!!!!!!!!
Micheal Jorden donated 100 million dollars to Howard University. And you knuckleheads are mad about a display of shoes that made him a billionaire who could give millions to provide students with scholarships? Are black people nuts?
Go to Howard for a education F some Jordan shoes okay.
If ya can't wear it to a job interview, it's worthless.
The blood of sin from datsn they digh font used it demonic spirit
Pkease say it is not so! Get a life and a priority!!!!!!
Why in the hell!
There sponsored by jordan soo. What if he giving monet to the school
Did he go to Howard? I would take those shoes out of the University.
👽👽👽 ( AIR – HEAD JOR – DUHS LITERALLY LOL ) 👽👽👽
Jordan play for North Carolina. They don't even have a wall of Jordans 😂
What? Why?🤔
WOW…..this will inspire Black Students to study to be I.T. Professionals, Doctors and Attorneys…..NOT!!!
Why? When Howard do not give black students scholarships but white students benefits tremendously and get their entire tuition paid in full in the Master programs of Social Work. Im speaking what I know!!!
Most AAs are very drained spiritually and thats why so many act more wht than blk because thats what they have become. When they dyy they aint go look blk no more they go look wht and go feel weak and vulnerable just like all drained spirits.
More distraction tactics
From Canada with hava. No wonder we have a reputation of being the dumbest, and stupidest people on earth. If they paid for these shoes( Howard university). Then Howard university should be shut down. Smh.
That's why my nephew picked FAMU over Howard.
Sad that people think is culture.
Really?
Are we that Simple?
Oh, yes…
We have our priority’s straight!
Did Nike make the University sell it's soul for a contribution?
Our children have died over (those) shoes because of the ridiculous high prices placed on them and you dare to place precedent on shoes! Honor the man not the shoe of Nike.
A lot of people don't notice about Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan donates to Charities and colleges he just don't like it broadcast and he don't like people talking about it, he never liked taking credit for his charity work
Hey Demetra..Turn ur sound up on ur microphone..Your volume always seems too low.. 🙃
The nastiness of wht culture you know d… Well it's go penetrate our a.. when we're bringing them into our cities and neighborhoods. We already outnumbered by them in a wht majority country. We replacing each other with them at jobs and all constantly cursing ourselves.
Priorities all ass backwards Howard, damn!… Chadwick Boseman wouldn't approve!
