Yo! Louie, shut your piehole.
The ‘institution’ of the US is under attack. Your fellow travelers don’t give enough credit to how far this nation has advanced. The only thing holding her back is the culture of corruption.

Abdul-Jabbar was a good basketball player. He could have remained silent and thereby retained the benefit of the doubt from others that he was intelligent.

Just another multi-millionaire black racist claiming society keeps blacks down.

Maybe so, but I’ll still do my own thinking.

“At the same time, however, we need to understand that their deaths are in no way related to the massive protests against systemic abuses of the justice system as symbolized by the recent deaths—also national tragedies—of Eric Garner, Akai Gurley, and Michael Brown. “

sure they aren’t....

Institutional racism is under attack.

The assassination of two police officers, neither of whom was white BTW, is seen, then, as an attack on institutional racism, implicitly a good thing.

May we then assume that assassinating the entire NYPD would be a huge step toward eliminating institutional racism, Kareem?

This idiotic statement is one striking example of why I don't engage in dialog with Left and the Moonbats who inhabit it.

The excuse-making from the liberals who have advocated street executions is nauseating.

Can’t put much creditability in a muslim on any topic unless it relates to murder of the infidels. And here is a guy who has made it still whining about descrimination.

“According to Ecclesiastes, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose.” For me, today, that means a time to seek justice and a time to mourn the dead.”

Yeah, that’s obviously the whole purpose of that book of the Bible. To justify the killing of cops who have their backs turned. /s

The Bible tells us that God commanded us not to commit murder and to love our neighbor as ourselves. To love our enemies and pray for them. I notice that these Christian commands are not touted by Mr. Muslim. Only the ones that ostensibly support his nonsensical narrative. No matter what you believe about these cases, no person who really believes in justice or has an ounce of common sense can honestly say that shooting random cops who had nothing to do with these incidents will make anything better.

Strange that a Muslim quotes The Bible... KAJ is a film maker? Who knew?

Kind of an odd comment from a member of the Religion of Peace.
