Sports icon and activist Kareem Abdul-Jabbar noted that we are culturally conditioned not to want to talk about race, but now he has hope that much-needed, open conversations can take place as the Black Lives Matter movement continues. The NBA legend also described how at age 17 he met Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during a journalism workshop.
james: Yes Mr. Jabbar experienced a lot of racism in his life. Being forced to except those millions of s for drilling a basketball and on rare occasion shooting through the hope, & all for the amusement of white folk? Then there was that time at UCLA when that racist school administration helped him think up that I am a Muslim dodge to evade the draft. Good thing too! since a 7 foot plus line grunt would have only drawn fire. Like Sam Cooke used to sing Change is going to come. Date: 2020-08-12
