Claiming optimism will be hard to come by for African Americans, former Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar asserts America cant 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 NBAs all-time leading scorer ignores the facts that blacks and minority groups have suffered during the present administration and that Mr. Trumps 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.

Thought Kareem was smart enough not to buy into this crap.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar can call me racist until the sun burns out, I am not. But Jabbar IS racist and he’s stupid too, and will always be stupid.
Exactly!
Why is it racist to make a common sense observation and want to protect his country from terrorists?
It’s not. It’s a scurrilous accusation.
Trump calls a spade a spade. That’s why he won.
Nonsense, nonsensical nonsense.
Thanks. This stuff is so basic, you almost feel like you’re addressing children.
This is only common sense.
I appreciate the note.
You’re welcome, FRiend!
Thanks to Soros, it might be a long four years. However, I’m hoping that when the impact of his changes are felt, people will come around.

I am hoping that Soros will be facing criminal charges.
He has broken a number of serious laws IMO.
I think people will be shocked how much they like him as things settle down.
This temper tantrum will be seen for what it is in time even by those to took part.
I am on my tablet so can’t really cut and paste—but I agree. Soros’ time has come, as Led Zeppelin would say. :)
And things will calm down and people will see DJT as the true well-meaning patriot that he is.
He did not have to do this... and alienate half of the people who would use his golf courses, stay at his hotels, etc.
GTG to sleep, take care, FRiend! :)
Entropy is high. I repeat, entropy is high ...
This pos is a Muslim so that means he wants sharia law. That means he is an enemy of America. Any questions?
Sharia law forbids women's waving their naked backsides around in public. I still haven't figured out how pro-Moslem libertines square this circle.
He’s a racist and so is she.
Thanks for your comments proud American in Canada. I agree with your take on things. Appreciate the nice thoughts. Take care.
