So says the former Lew Alcindor, who dumped his ‘slave name’ 50 years ago.
The only thing he ever did that I can watch is “Airplane “ and not for him.
He wrote that the “Star-Spangled Banner” is the song that President Trump – the oppressor – is demanding to be sung.

Lew Alcindor...how quickly ‘we’ forget....
Lew, President Trump isn’t DEMANDING anyone sing anything.
If President Trump were really vindictive and hateful, he would say the NFL and NBA ers were not kneeling in protest of the FLAG etc, they were actually kneeling to pray before the game and are to chicken-$hiite to admit it.
Lew, if PDT were to publicize that, the ACLU, owners etal would DEMAND they stand at attention during the National Anthem...(Just because YOU don’t know the words doesn’t mean you can’t hum it BUT nodbody is asking you to honor a song or musical rendition THEY are requesting you/they HONOR the colors of the nation that allowed you to live a full and prosperous life and YES you had a lot to do with that.
(Don’t expect pResident(EXXXXX) BO to give you credit, he will say someone else ‘built’ you)
LEW, sorry if I am ‘dissing’ you by not using ‘your chosen’ name BUT if an idiot sticks his nose where it really doesn’t belong and especially when admitting he know not of what he speaketh, so civility will take a 2nd back seat.
Also I guess it is easier to say something when someone else has already written it down for you.
Lew Alcindor’s dad was a patriotic cop and a Christian, and he wasn’t pleased nor impressed by ‘Kareem’ and his Muslim leftism.
That’s classic!
Another reason why black athletes feel “disrespected” They mouth off with BS like this, then want to argue that we should “respect” their “opinion”
Screw that. The more Alcindor shoots off his ignorant mouth, the dumber he looks
And wasn’t he the cat who once said when he’d hear about a plane crash killing all the whites, it made him happy?
Lou Alcinder...is what he is.
WTF?? Hey! Lou Alcindor, the National anthem isn’t “Gonna, jump down spin around and pick anther bale of cotton.” Just another half brained athlete spouting BS attempting to further divide a nation. Would “God Bless America” satisfy you? I think not. (I would personally prefer I. Berlin’s GBA over the present one.)
He doesn’t really try, except during the playoffs.
Jocks are just jocks aqnd should get no respect.
The great UCLA coach John Wooden must be turning over in his grave over Lew Alcindor’s antics.
".. while I realize that many Christians risked their lives and families to fight slavery and that it would not have been ended without them, I found it hard to align myself with the cultural institutions that had turned a blind eye to such outrageous behavior in direct violation of their most sacred beliefs.
The adoption of a new name was an extension of my rejection of all things in my life that related to the enslavement of my family and people. Alcindor was a French planter in the West Indies who owned my ancestors. My forebears were Yoruba people, from present day Nigeria. Keeping the name of my family’s slave master seemed somehow to dishonor them. His name felt like a branded scar of shame.
My devotion to Islam was absolute. I even agreed to marry a woman whom Hammas suggested for me, despite my strong feelings for another woman. Ever the team player, I did as “Coach” Hammas recommended. I also followed his advice not to invite my parents to the wedding — a mistake that took me more than a decade to rectify. Although I had my doubts about some of Hammas’ instruction, I rationalized them away because of the great spiritual fulfillment I was experiencing.
But my independent spirit finally emerged. Not content to receive all my religious knowledge from one man, I pursued my own studies. I soon found that I disagreed with some of Hammas’ teachings about the Quran, and we parted ways. In 1973, I traveled to Libya and Saudi Arabia to learn enough Arabic to study the Quran on my own. I emerged from this pilgrimage with my beliefs clarified and my faith renewed...
President Trump isn’t demanding anyone sing the anthem.
Sheesh.

In late 2016, Abdul-Jabbar was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by outgoing U.S. President Barack Obama. From one fellow Muslim to another.
The National Anthem is about a nation refusing to be subjugated to another nation, and was willing to use FIREARMS to do it!
“Slaves are generally expected to sing as well as to work.”
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, look dude, I don’t give two $hits whether they stand or not at this point — If you or they think that this is such a GD imposition to stand for the flag of the United States of America, I don’t have to purchase their F’n product, you got that genius...Stand, don’t stand, I don’t give a F!!!!
If someone doesn’t feel it in their heart, I can’t make them feel it — And I don’t have to pay to watch them disrespect what I have fought for either, see, we all have choices, but we are not free from the consequences now are we!!!
Sooooooooo, you and the NFL kneelers can all go eat $hit...Because I am done with the NFL. Maybe, if/when these whiny F’n window lickers can get their $hit together and find a little love in their hearts for the country that allows them to get rich “playing a MF’n game” then maybe, just maybe I will come back, but I would have to see some MFing players getting off their knees and kissing the a$$ of a bald eagle flying an American flag, while singing the MF’n Star Spangled Banner along with the Zack Brown Band in perfect F’n tune.......Until that time, as long as they are kneeling, I ain’t buying any NFL licensed products, I’m not watching any of their games, and I’m GD sure not going to any games.
I’m out!!!!
A specific segment of the population has been empowered to adopt the badge of slavery, even though they never were slaves. Skin shade is enough.
Skin shade is enough to justify the discrimination against people with light shades of skin. You need not have had slaves.
This allows them to offload the blame for their self-induced failures to other people, who did nothing to them. They are allowed to continue in their self-destructive behavior while putting all the blame on Whitey,
So then GTFO of the country, scrawny, lanky a##ed pu$$y.
You want to know a better example of slavery?
The NBA where white people pay to watch black gladiator games.
I’m sick of this BS.
According to actress Pam Grier, they started dating just before his conversion to Islam. After his conversion, he started treating her like a second class citizen. For example, when they had friends over, he expected her to make the food and then make herself scarce. To go to another room and stay there, out of sight until she was summoned.
