In short, Michael Jordan committed essentially the same sin as Paula Deen, but has not suffered the same outcome.

i think it is different... he was a teenager at the time... he told of an incident where a girl called him a name... no one came out and accused him of being a racist/racial... with Paula Deen, she was an adult... she had accusations made against her... she didn't reveal any stories where black people harassed her to the point of making her racist... i think it says a lot about Michael Jordan to have overcome his racism against whites... he didn't stay there... he also talks about how his mother advised him not to let those feelings overtake him... i know it is not a popular perspective here, but it is mis dos centavos...

i should disclose that i am not a fan of Paula Deen and felt no sympathy toward her... i found her predicament poetic justice being that she is liberal and all, y'all...

You’re extending much more charity toward Michael Jordan than Paula Deen or Donald Sterling have had extended toward them.

I’m not criticizing you for it—It’s certainly the Christian thing to do—But isn’t everyone entitled to forebearance until all of the facts come out?
