Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has gone full white neoliberal.

The Muslim that defended himself in Coors beer commercials, is criticizing Lebron James’ on court jester, while supporting FETÖ Terror Cult member, Enes Kantar.

Kantar’s cult, under Obama’s tutelage, attempted to overthrow the democratically elected government of Turkey in 2016. He’s now a stooge of the War on Islam cabal seeking to dominate the region’s political, social, and economic trajectory.

White Acceptance and dollars TRUMPS Black and Muslim Unity in Kareem.

Being a Muslim and a lifelong Boston Celtics fan, I admire Enes’ activism and standing up for human rights. However, I am also disappointed in his support and admiration of Israel and his friendship with Jared Kushner. Israel practices apartheid and violates human rights of the Palestinian people. If he truly believes in standing up for justice against human rights violations, he should be consistent and call out Israel and not associate with the likes of Jared Kushner.

Yeah, apartheid from the people sworn to kill you.

Really!

Yes... That's in the founding documents of Hamas... the destruction of the Israeli state. and probably the PLO as well. Though they may have officially changed it. I'm not sure.

Thank you. Props to Enes Kanter Freedom for his courage and willingness to speak the truth. And Lee Elder. Great golfer. How awful it must have been for him to go through the racism and exclusionary practices of the day. And as far as goats go, his last 2 incidents proved he isn't one.

Kareem, I just read "Made In China" by Amelia Pang, I hope you get a chance to read it. All professional athletes should pool their resources and manufacture all gear and cloths in the U S. A complete boycott of all chinese goods is the ONLY way to get their attention.

They make more money from China than they do the USA... There's a reason not one will say a bad thing about China... (or if they do they will immediately be encouraged to delete it).

This the first time that I have seen the KAREEM.SUBSTACK.COM site. As a supporter of a progressive society and culture, along with being a life-long high school, college and NBA basketball fan, I have the greatest respect for the accomplishments of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar both on and off the basketball court since his days at Power Memorial High School in New York City. I, therefore, look forward to being one of the many beneficiaries of this site knowing this site will maintain the highest standards and contain the most well-informed comments that will address the critical issues of our times. Also, my other connection to this site: I was told many years ago by my neighbor from the South Shore community in Chicago that he was taking an Urban Planning Course at UCLA in the same class with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then Lewis Alcindor) and I share this academic background as I studied Urban Planning in my undergraduate college at the University of Illinois and my graduate college at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago.

Freedom for Freedom... What freedom doesn't Kareem have?

What a terrific guy Kanter Freedom is. We need more citizens like him.

I don't follow golf, but I've heard a number of stories over the years about Mr. Elder's dignity and grace under pressure.

I guess two out of three isn't bad.

This is an awesome feature Kareem! thanks so much for doing this. A completely unfiltered commentary by someone like you will provide great insight into my NBA fan life!
