Kareem Abdul-Jabbar On Ben Carson :
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Ben Carson’s Christianity ‘Is Terrible For Black Americans’ Former NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar alleged that though he “is a deeply moral man who has done much good as a physician,” President Ben Carson would be “bad for African-Americans,” specifically the large impact his Christian faith plays in crafting his policies. Carson’s “repressive, muddled and pious policies and opinions often run against our Constitution—but his questionable proposals will likely, thankfully, be doomed by his lack of political expertise,” writes Abdul-Jabbar. “It would definitely not be good for African Americans to have a president who flounders helplessly in office because it would perpetuate the stereotype that blacks can’t be effective CEOs, quarterbacks and leaders.”
