It’s people like this that I can respect- we don’t agree on much, I’m sure- but he nails it in this piece! Excellent work, Kareem.

Blacks don’t like Jews because Jews are everything that blacks are not.

Jews were the first people to get on buses and go down south to help them out during the civil rights movement.

Enough with that childish crap. We Jews changed our names when we came here too. As did PLENTY of Italians, Irish, Eastern Europeans, etc.

If you are TRULY a conservative you know it’s NO ONE’S BUSINESS but your own what name you choose to make legal.

It’s frustrating how liberal KAJ is, because the man is otherwise very intelligent and reasonable. Reminds me of my late dad. Endless intellect, heart of gold, but incurably liberal to the very end.

More like Sleepy Joe Biden, “We believe in truth over facts”.

You may have but our family hasn’t. There’s nothing childish about how islam wants to destroy Jews. Lew changed his name so he could identify with islam.

If you want an education, go to Youtube and do a search for “Farrakhan gay marriage”
There is a double-standard.
Most of Farrakhan’s Anti-Semitic stuff is below the radar, wink wink, nudge nudge. We went on a bus tour of DC and the guide made a reference to the Rothschilds and control of the world monetary system when we went by the World Bank, an obvious dog whistle.

In that world, Jew is a euphemism for “any rich white person in power”

“My understanding is Mike Tysn gave up on islam and became a **Christian**.”

You misspelled “stoner” there, FRiend.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar reminds us what a great school UCLA used to be.

He's smart, no question. Lew Alcindor went to a boys' Catholic high school, Power Memorial, which may have prepared him for the work, thought, and self-discipline. The Christian Brothers were strict.

Even Jemele Hill is going after DeSean Jackson:

Where is the outrage? Is Kareem suggesting DeSean Jackson, the Eagles receiver that spewed antisemitic trash on Instagram, be suspended? How his teammate, Malik Jackson, who was caught praising antisemitic Louis Farrakhan?

Who in Trump’s campaign is anti-Semitic??

The anti-Semites I see on the Internet all think Trump is owned and operated by World Zionism...so I don't know, either.

His “truth” was clearly anti-Semitic but, like Trump, he believes his truth exists outside facts. As writer Roxane Gay summed it up: “It is impossible to take you seriously with regards to social justice or anything when you post anti-Semitic imagery.

Yo, Kareem - provide specific instances where President Trump asserted "truth" outside facts, or STFU. You are reflexively anti-Trump, and had to leaven your otherwise welcome screed with anti-Trump BS.

I cannot think of any dispute between the press and the President that the press has NOT been found to be lying.

I don’t condone his Islamic conversion but I understand why he wanted to ditch “Alcindor” since that was surname of his ancestors slave owners. I don’t know what was wrong with “Ferdinand Lewis” though.

Anyway I appreciate his comments here but he still called us all Nazis a few months ago.

Uh, yeah sure, thoughtful like when he takes this BS shot at Trump?

That same month, President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign also has been criticized for exploiting anti-Jewish biases, even though Trump’s son-in-law and campaign honcho Jared Kushner is Jewish and his daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism before they married. Playing on the same Rothschild’s trope, they issued a letter accusing three billionaires of Jewish descent of using their fortunes to “rig the November election.”

Yeah, thoughtful as he rides that seesaw shifting from thoughtful fair minded to typical liberal hack.

Also the way I read this is he's bugged not because of the insults to Jews so much as because he thinks it opens the door to racism against his fellow Blacks and will cause the Police to kill more Blacks.

Yeah thoughtful BLM bullshit. That's my take on it YMMV.

Oh, wait, I didn’t think blacks could be racist!! They cannot hate whites or Jewish people. Just not in their DNA. They only murder their own in street gun fights in Chicago.
