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.” …

Bold statements from a man who made millions entertaining white people and who had children murdered by Muslims extremists in his own house. (Google Hanafi Murders)

Joey: I think you’re the greatest, but my dad says you don’t work hard enough on defense.
[Kareem gets angry]
Joey: And he says that lots of times, you don’t even run down court. And that you don’t really try... except during the playoffs.

HE CAN WRITE?

He developed a new technique of lofting the pen over his head while standing sideways to the paper. Now everyone's doing it.

When a Republican picks a minority the left trashes the minority. If he doesn’t, they trash him.

Hey Kareem, go hustle for once and get back on defense!

Hey, it's not easy dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

YEP, THAT’S THE GUY. THE SHILL AIRLINE PILOT.

Joey: Wait a minute. I know you. You’re Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Roger Murdock: I’m sorry, son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I’m the co-pilot.

Joey: You are Kareem! I’ve seen you play. My dad’s got season tickets.

Roger Murdock: I think you should go back to your seat now, Joey. Right, Clarence?

Captain Oveur: Nahhhhhh, he’s not bothering anyone. Let him stay here.

Roger Murdock: But just remember, my name is...

[showing his nametag]

Roger Murdock: ROGER MURDOCK. I’m an airline pilot.

Joey: I think you’re the greatest, but my dad says you don’t work hard enough on defense.

[Kareem gets angry]

Joey: And he says that lots of times, you don’t even run down court. And that you don’t really try... except during the playoffs.

Roger Murdock: [breaking character] The hell I don’t! LISTEN, KID! I’ve been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I’m out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!

Kareem is a total racist.

He could use his influence to heal and unite the his audience — he goes out of his way to do the opposite.

There is never anything positive that comes from this man.

He’s a bitter old dribbler who wasn’t very good at that either.

Sad.

I used to cut him a bit of slack. He was my neighbor in Milwaukee, and we had nice friendly discussions about Jazz. But this time? When he’s proven wrong, I hope he changes his tack. Politics aside, he’s a very nice guy.

Lew Alcindor is a racist, always has been a racist, always will be a racist.

Sees everything in life through the prism of skin color.

If he weren’t seven feet tall, his first mention in the press would be an obituary.

Pour yourself a cup of GFY, Lou, and put some Kareem in it.
