'We have been beaten down for so many years. It sucks your soul. You can’t accept it anymore.'
“We have been beaten down for so many years. It sucks your soul. You can’t accept it anymore. This is a tipping point. We need to make a stand. We’ve got to be better as a society regarding race,” he told the publication.
In order for racism to change, Jordan believes a number of things need to be done. “Face up to your demons. Extend a hand. Understand the inequalities. Sure, it’s about bargaining for better policing, but it’s more. We have encountered racism to be somewhat acceptable in certain circles,” he said.“My parents always stressed that education as how you best bond with other people. Education is the best route for black people to better themselves,” he continued.
