Claiming optimism will be hard to come by for African Americans, former Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar asserts America can’t unify under Donald Trump as president because the “home of the free” will now embrace “the leadership of a racist.”
Moreover, Jabbar worries not just for blacks but for “women, immigrants, Muslims, Jews, the LGBT community and others who now must walk through the streets of their country for the next four years in shame and fear.”
Jabbar writes in the Washington Post, “Trump represents the last wisp of the rich white plantation owner holding on to the glories of the past. His history of racism, from Justice Department lawsuits for housing discrimination to claim that Mexican heritage disqualified a federal judge, has already been well-documented.”
The NBA’s all-time leading scorer ignores the facts that black’s and minority groups have suffered during the present administration and that Mr. Trump’s economic agenda may help improve their financial condition. Poverty increased from 25.8 percent in 2009 to 27.2 percent in 2014, black attorney and nationally syndicated radio host Larry Elder points out in his Townhall article. “Minority households’ median income fell 9 percent between 2010 and 2013, compared to a drop of only 1 percent for whites,” Elder states. On top of that, he points to a Financial Times survey that found “The median non-white family today has a net worth of just $18,100 — almost a fifth lower than it was when Mr. Obama took office.”

Yeah. The twerking will do it.
Go spin some vynal rekords, Kareem. You haven’t been relevant since k(c)oby.
Go back to dribbling, Lew.
No, Miss BLM virtue signalling at the half time show cannot bring “racial healing” to the nation.
Lew Alcindor was a pretty good basketball player. Then he joined the Religion of Terror.
Liberal heads exploding all over the fruited plains for at least 4 years, love it!
I had more respect for Lew Alcindor when he kept his mouth shut.
Bruce lee should have kicked his ass for real. i thought he was really choking this idiot in Game of Death.
Well, a guy who didn’t work hard enough on defense, lots of times didn’t even run down court and didn’t really try except during the playoffs is going to reflect a twisted left-wing attitude like this.
Now sounds like he needs to try breathing through one.
He's WRONG!
...It's eight years!.
If I were President Trump, I’d start suing some of these racist lowlifes like Alcinder here. Does he have ANY proof that Trump is a “racist”? Hell no he doesn’t. Being Caucasian does not make one a racist. FULA and that goes for your balls too! Your 15 minutes were up years ago.
This Muslim Jihadist acts like he gives a rats behind what happens to Jews..his religion calls for the slaughter of Jews EVERY SINGLE DAY..and it must pain him that Donald Trump LOVES Jews and Israel is OVERJOYED that Trump was elected President
The lady with the huge thighs is part of the problem sir.
Lew Alcindor? Is he still around?
Stuff it, Lew!
Is he the one with HIV?
LOL! Like some of these...
