Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Trump’s African-American Cabinet Pics ‘Black Shills to Distract Us’
Cybercast News Service ^ | January 19, 2017 | 1:15 PM EST | Mark Judge

Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has penned an editorial highly critical of President-elect Trump.

“Never before in modern history have we had a president-elect so ill-informed, ill-tempered, irrational and ill-equipped to deal with the major issues that face this country,” Abdul-Jabbar writes in the new edition of The Hollywood Reporter. […]

Abdul-Jabbar argues that “a quick look at two of the black faces that Trump parades on television as proof of the diversity of his entourage is actually evidence of his using black shills to distract us from his paternalistic policies to dismantle civil liberties for people of color, women, the LGBT community, Muslims and immigrants.” He singles out Ben Carson, Trump’s Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), writing that “it's like picking Elmer Fudd to run NASA.” …

He’s a piece of garbage this mofo, I should know, I’ve dealt with him. I use to drive a cab in New York city years ago and picked him up one day and he deliberately flooded the back seat floor with about a gallon of water because I didn’t kiss his ring, meaning I didn’t acknowledge him, but I never did when it came to celebrities #1 because I don’t care and #2. I respected their privacy. He got in on a hot day with a big jug of water in the back seat and his assistant sitting in the front because he was so big, and he kept staring at me in the rear view mirror waiting I assume to acknowledge his holiness and when I dropped him off, this other woman got in and said “Your cab is flooded” and she got out, I couldn’t believe it. I had to use a coffee cup to scoop it up then get a ton of napkins from a pizza place to dry it out.

Like ping jockey said, he jumped the shark.

I recall he used to write for American Spectator.

Back in the pre-911 days I was open to the idea that Muslims were conservatives and allies in the “culture wars”.

I was ignorant.

Why is he worried about the LGTB’s and women? As Muslim, isn’t Kareem supposed to be killing gays and repressing women?

My HS played his HS (Power Memorial). It was a parochial school league. My religion /home room teacher insisted we go to a certain number of games or fail. I went to one game against Power Memorial with he the big star. We beat them. Haven’t gone to another BBall game nor watched one on TV, since. Not interested. Can’t stand the sport.
I prefer personal outdoor sports like hunting and fishing and various shooting sports. But can watch baseball and football.

I remember watching a game on TV when Jabbar threw a punch at a white player under the boards

You could distinctly hear him call the player a White Son Of A Bitch

Not a word from the announcers

Funny because any distraction is being caused by the likes of Kareem. So, “no” and....yet....”it’s working.” Strange.

They complained, rioted and murdered the whole time obama was president. Just what president are they going to be happy with? They will never be happy no matter what.
