Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: In this crucial election, Im endorsing Hillary ClintonBy Kareem Abdul-Jabbar April 15 at 7:05 PM
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is an author, commentator and former professional basketball player.
This isnt because we have a female candidate who may be her partys nominee. That would be historically significant, as was electing Barack Obama as the first black president. His race and her gender inform who they are, as any persons cultural background does, but its policies that make the politician.
And its policies that make me endorse Hillary Clinton for president of the United States.
