Kareem Abdul Jabbar

Living in fear. Every. Single. Day.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar has written an article about the black people never being able to have any sense of security, they live in fear every day.  When a police car pulls them over, they never know if they are going to get away, alive. He mentions the Ferguson case, where white people felt just a fragment of what black people go through every day. The white people shows grief and sorrow until the media stops mentioning it and the white people go back to their own lives of comfort and safety. Kareem Abdul Jabbar says that black people will never be able to have a feeling of protection and safety. With the cases we have seen in the last 5 years no black man can feel safe from police brutality. It's a pity that we keep statistics of how many people that were killed by sharks, but not how many that have fallen victim of police brutality.
