Kareem has always been a class act. Well thought out response to this ridiculous fiasco.

    Yes, Karrem is very well spoken but I wonder what his well spoken comments would be on the black racist Rev. Al Sharpton? Jamie Fox? Snoop Dog? Rev. Wright....just to name four of many blacks who have said racists things against white folks. Kareem, Shack, Jordan, etal are good and quick to condemn (rightly) a white who utters racists comments but are AWOL when fellow blacks do it....IMO.

    Lou Alcindor is a spokesman for racism ,and I'm member of the SCV....glad to see racism practiced somewhere else rather than the South...Understand, you cannot legislate peoples principles are their social practices. I think a political same ideology will do more for racism than any NAACP or any other pro equalization association.

    He hasn't been Lew Alcindor since the late 60's or early 70's. Try to keep up!

    Very unusual. A black man that is not a mush-mouthed moron.

    Lew Alcindor is the name he was born with.

    That boxing feller is Cassius Clay.

    Lew Alcindor?
    Cassius Clay?

    In all seriousness - if either one of those guys was right in front of you, would you call him by those names?

    I get the sense if you did, you'd only say it once....

    I would Cassius Clay is an old man with alzhimers so bad he cannot remember his own name and I think if I got Lew Alcindor down on the ground he would be done for.[8D]

    Seriously though who really cares what these people think. Stirling is a scum bag and has been one since 1960 maybe even longer. He is very successful and a great businessman but he has the morals of a shark.

    Everyone knows the guy is a scum bag and a azzhole so why is this news?

    What has been done to him is the news. This is what happens in Commie countries. You say something that is not correct and you are destroyed. This is what should be the news!

    Stirling is just like most of us with the exception of $,$$$,$$$,$$$.$$.

    if you (NO ONE IN PARTICULAR.., EVERYONE IN GENERAL.., OK ??) deny ever using the words that Stirling used.., i want to be the first to call you a LIAR !!

    hell.......!! being a "Sailor" for 25 years i probably have used and heard language/words that Mr.Stirling never heard [;)] [:D] [}:)]

    Your post says far more about you than about black men.

    I have meet Kareem (Lew) a couple times at one of the local gun auctions. He is a serious gun collector. Very nice and friendly guy.

    He is not full of himself like so many other celebrities.
