Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Baltimore Is Just the Beginning
Time Magazine ^ | May 6, 2015 | Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

"The Baltimore uprising isn’t just about Freddie Gray"

The curfew has been lifted in Baltimore, and now all of God’s children are once again tucked back in the snug routine of their daily lives. The black temper tantrum is over, America. We can all go back to watching Castle boyishly charm his way through murder mysteries. Order is restored.

Except, as Sportin’ Life says in Porgy and Bess, “It ain’t necessarily so.”

What happened in Baltimore isn’t just a one-and-done situation. This wasn’t just a slight sprain in the ankle that we’ll be able to walk off by morning. This was a violently shattered bone that will have America limping forward on crutches for months to come, maybe even years.

One thing that history has taught us is that civil unrest is rarely just about what incites the incident. From what information the public has been given, Freddie Gray’s death seems like a malignant cocktail of negligence and abuse, and the charges brought against the six officers seem to confirm that. But we’ve seen this all before—many times....

Kareem, a friend of mine was JUST robbed by two black, thug students he knew. They broken into his home and stole his stuff. The police won't do anything about it. The problem is a complete vacuum of value not only with some of the black community, but across all communities. The answer is NOT spending more government money, but VALUES such as learning th difference between right and wrong whether rich or poor.

Shut your mouth.

Of course not. It’s revolutionary street theater, intended to further destabilize normal society.

It works unless normal society decides it’s intolerable. Then it’s over, fast and bloody.

Is this the guy who lost a fortune in records that went up in flames? I can guarantee you he has never read the Koran, and if he did, does not have a clue what it means. A lot of money, and not one speck of common sense. Sad.....

Sorry Mister, but I NEVER owned a slave and I am tired of a two hundred year old situation being the excuse for of all of your immorality and character flaws!

Over a half-century of the welfare state, leftist destruction of the Black family in order to breed government dependence, and willful exploitation by race-baiting hustlers, not to mention making work and education look like it’s for chumps are just the tip of the iceberg as to what’s REALLY wrong.

Fifty Shades of Gray, rewritten by an illiterate basketball person, can’t wait for the movie.

My education in race relations took place in college.

Practicing upstairs in the music building, I took a break and came down the stairs 3 at a time, as was my habit. I was just in time to find my bicycle halfway out the door in the hands of one of the kids in the neighborhood.

He dropped the bike and ran. Can you guess his skin color?

Kareem, being muslim, you cannot solve the problem. Your culture needs to have a new heart installed by Jesus.
