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.”

Jews? Why do Jews get thrown in with LGBTABC and obama’s sons?
Somebody should tell this character that black are notorious for the dislike of Jews.
The crown Heights riots that led to Rudy winning is one example.
Knockout game, under reported in the news, on Jewish men by obama’s sons was only a few years ago.
Is he kidding?
No. I think that’s Magic Johnson, a much more likable fella than this guy.
Beyonce. A proud black queen who does everything possible to hide her African features.
Kareem, the a-hole who always made his (ex-) girlfriend walk one step behind him. No wonder she left.
Someone stuck in the Middle Ages has zero cred to lecture anyone.
Trump didn’t listen to Rev Wright’s sermons for 20++ years like Obama, even Oprah figured out it wasn’t righteous doctrine.
He calls Trump ‘a white plantation owner.’ Yet he has shown, by his words, that he is totally, mentally, living under the ‘slavers’ known as Hillary, Obama, and the Democrat-Socialist-Progressive Party of America.
Like that joke Dick Martin says on that late night commercial about some black guy running away and the jew behind him yells hay i sell you a bicycle
I am deadly offended as a blond surfer dude that she hijacks our look its very nasty
SO tired of this ... rhetoric!!!!
Hey Kareem and Byonce, if a White man robs a bank and Trump condemns him, is he racist against Whites?
If Hispanics do something illegal, is he a racist to say the people doing it are wrong?
If every 10,000 people who come here from Syria have only 100 terrorist mixed in, is Trump a racist to not take a chance on moving in 100 terrorists?
You two are about 25 cards shy of a full deck.
Who’s going to tell Kareem how stupid his remark sounds.
Maybe Bruce did and he suffered brain damage; he obviously is not rational.
I love good news. Enjoy your trial and jail time folks!
I like he better when he was Lew Alcindor.
Kareem Abdul-Jabar.....why should I or anyone else give a flying crap what this black muzzie piece of garbage has to say?
He is about as relevant as what Calvin Coolidge had for breakfast.
This racist ingrate got hit in the head with a basketballtoo many times. I laugh at his idiocy.
Alcinder made millions of dollars entertaining white people. The only tragedy in his life were the Hanafi Murders when a hit squad from the Nation of Islam broke into his house and murdered men, women and 5 children. The ROP even drowned a baby in a bath tub.
Muslim sympathizer from way back.
Sorry, but Beyonce can no longer inspire even a lascivious thought.
