More whites believe in ghosts than racism
MSNBC ^ | 05-05-2014 | Adam Serwer

Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said Sunday that white Americans so disregard the ongoing existence of racism that they’re more likely to believe in ghosts.

“More whites believe in ghosts than believe in racism,” Abdul-Jabbar, a former center for the Los Angeles Lakers, told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. ”That’s why we have shows like Ghostbusters and don’t have shows like Racistbuster. You know, it’s something that’s still part of our culture and people hold on to some of these ideas and practices just out of habit and saying that, well, that’s the way it always was. But things have to change.”

Getting real, real tired of the constant race-baiting. Real tired.

I wonder if Kareem also believes in blacks being racist..because I see FAR more blacks being racist against whites than the other way around, that is something you never hear about in the media

If you believe in Jesus, you believe in the Holy Ghost.

How many black people believe in ghosts?

How many hispanics?

How many muslims?

This article is racist.

The old talking point is that blacks cannot be racist because they don’t have the power structure to do anything with their prejudicial views.

Tell that to President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder...

Racistbuster.

Given that the name used as point of origin for the bad pun was Ghostbusters...ome would think that RacistBusters...plural would be more “appropriate”.

RacistBusters..starring Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson perhaps!??

that ought to be a BLOCKBUSTER!!!

His definition of racism is racist itself because he is only considering anti black racism.

Lots of whites believe in racism. Anti white racism. They see it all the time. In racist affirmative action laws, black on white racially motivated violence in the schools, on the streets on public transportation, in the workplace and even in their own homes. And that is just the short list.

Some people are relentlessly determined to play the victim.

Blacks are the victims, that is what they are told over and over again, that is why they can get away with knockout games and other crimes..that is why a few days ago some woman went to some convenience store and demanded something for free because of “Slavery” when the idiot probably has no clue what the word even means..all they know is gimme gimme gimme..If that’s the case, since I’m Jewish, can I go into a German store and demand free stuff because of the Holocaust?

Ghost, isn’t that a racist term for a white person?
