Former professional basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said Thursday on “CBS Mornings” that promoting the need for people to get the COVID vaccination was an extension of Black Lives Matter.
Co-host Vladimir Duthiers said, “You’ve called for the NBA to insist that all players and staff be vaccinated. And if they refuse, you believe they should be removed from the team. Why do you feel so strongly about that?”
Abdul-Jabbar said, “I think that when we ignore a pandemic that is killing people just because some people don’t feel like doing some research, I can’t go along with that. This COVID thing is killing black people and brown people at a ridiculous rate. So you know, it’s really an extension of Black Lives Matter. We have to make this obvious and let people know how important it is.”
He added, “Anyone who has a public platform like a professional athlete, they should use their platform in a way that helps their community.”

Fidiot! So, will $blm require proof/ CV ID in order to participate in mostly peaceful gatherings from now on? Can kuhream 'splain the hesitancy in the "bipoc" ranks?

I agree with Lew. People of Color should be fully vaxxed. Forget that Tuskegee syphilis study thing, and sure mistakes were made but that happened years ago.

Alcindor and Fecesbook would have happily
killed Louis Gossett Jr. if he had gotten the covid now instead of last December...
As it is, "Vitamin I" carried the day for Gossett.

He's just parroting the narrative like a good puppet. The reality is that the number of currently infected in the USA is higher than it has ever been. And that's after adjusting PCR sensitivity down, masking, lockdowns, and vaccinating 200 million people.
The cases per day and currently infected curves almost match the vaccination curve. Isn't that interesting. It's as if the vaccinations have had no effect at all.

he is correct. There is a strong correlation between BLM and being vaccinated. Both are dangerous elements of our society.

As BLM is a purely racist group, getting the needle is racist? I don’t understand.

This COVID thing is killing black people and brown people at a ridiculous rate.
Does this mean the percentage of white players will increase?
