Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Claims Beyoncé Can Inspire Minorities to Overcome ‘Racist’ Trump
Breitbart ^ | 11-12-2016

Posted on 11/12/2016 5:57:59 PM PST by blam

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.”

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.

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.

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.
