Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: In this crucial election, I’m endorsing Hillary Clinton

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is an author, commentator and former professional basketball player.

This isn’t because we have a female candidate who may be her party’s 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 person’s cultural background does, but it’s policies that make the politician.

And it’s policies that make me endorse Hillary Clinton for president of the United States.
