I am with those who are calling for entrenched racism and violence against people of color in our country. We have had enough. " , claims the six-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls.
"I do not have the answers, but our collective voices show the strength and the inability to be divided by others. We must listen to ourselves, show compassion and empathy and never turn our backs on meaningless brutality . We must continue with peaceful expressions against injustice and demand responsibilities, "he adds.
"Our unified voice needs to pressure our leaders to change our laws , or we need to use our vote to create systematic change. Each of us needs to be part of the solution, and we must work together to ensure justice for all," it states.
