Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Baltimore Is Just the Beginning

"The Baltimore uprising isn’t just about Freddie Gray"

The curfew has been lifted in Baltimore, and now all of God’s children are once again tucked back in the snug routine of their daily lives. The black temper tantrum is over, America. We can all go back to watching Castle boyishly charm his way through murder mysteries. Order is restored.

Except, as Sportin’ Life says in Porgy and Bess, “It ain’t necessarily so.”

What happened in Baltimore isn’t just a one-and-done situation. This wasn’t just a slight sprain in the ankle that we’ll be able to walk off by morning. This was a violently shattered bone that will have America limping forward on crutches for months to come, maybe even years.

One thing that history has taught us is that civil unrest is rarely just about what incites the incident. From what information the public has been given, Freddie Gray’s death seems like a malignant cocktail of negligence and abuse, and the charges brought against the six officers seem to confirm that. But we’ve seen this all before—many times....

A billion dollars has been poured into Baltimore


and I say not another penny to a bunch of thugs who only want to kill our cops and bash our white older people in the back of the head.

Let them burn their city down. This person does not give a rat’s behind.

Let them try to burn my friends stuff down or my town down and they will not have a behind left.

Kareem is a well read, intelligent and thoughtful guy. Like my tagline, his blackness overtakes his reason however. Did like the skyhook tho.

America made them fabulously wealthy. America made them famous. They had Americas daughters (and sons) as playthings.

And then they say this.

Are you getting a clue as to the nature of the animal you're dealing with?

Lew Alcindor is the kinder gentler voice of violent threats and racial animosity. It’s all whitey’s fault even when everyone in the cities who has any power is black, in the Democrat party, irresponsible, indifferent, and shirking their duties. Somehow they still manage to blame someone else for the failure of Liberalism and to make threats to harm the law abiding.

‘i hope they burn every major city down...could care less, tired of it.’

There’s a problem with this though. I also would like to see the major cities destroyed but there will be a stream of refugees bringing their left-wing ideological cancer into our relatively safe areas.

So what’s the solution, Kareem? Hoops? Reparations? A new pair of shoes?

>> What happened in Baltimore isn’t just a one-and-done situation.

The citizen has little more control than over his own behavior.

.. if you take—on average—9,252 black-on-black murders every year for the past 35 years, you arrive at a staggering 323,820 blacks killed by other blacks on America’s mean streets in just three-and-a-half short decades

Savage: Obama may arm U.S. gangs for race war
‘The guillotines are ready and they are greasing the blades’
Published: 14 hours ago

Warning of a coming race war, talk-radio host Michael Savage, appearing as a guest on Alex Jones “Infowars” program Monday, said President Obama would deputize and arm gang members such as the “Crips and the Bloods” to keep order in American streets.

“Remember my last book, ‘Stop the Coming Civil War’? Guess what. It started,” said Savage.

“Has there been a civil war? Yeah, it’s a slow-burning civil war. What do you think we are looking at here? It’s a race war. These are their shock troops, they don’t have the brown shirts yet, they don’t have the armbands, but soon Obama could deputize them. Isn’t that a natural army for him, Alex? Take the Crips and the Bloods, give them a green uniform and give them a weapon and they’ll keep order in the streets. Won’t they?”
