assertion that what we are seeing in America is actually a class war disguise as a race war. They see this as conservative-Trump supporting- Fox News against the rest of the world.
But it was none other than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who wrote for Time Magazine after the Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014:
[This] distracts America from the larger issue that the targets of police overreaction are based less on skin color and more … on being poor … and being poor is synonymous with being a criminal. Ironically, this misperception is true even among the poor.
And that’s how the status quo wants it.
In his op-ed piece, the former Laker star claimed, “politicians and entrepreneurs conspire to keep the poor just as they are,” and Carlson agrees. How can you not when Abdul-Jabbar pointed to Republican Rep. Vicki Truitt becoming a lobbyist for ACE Cash Express only 17 days after leaving office? This is the kind of swamp President Trump has worked to drain.
Carlson’s commentary echoed Abdul-Jabbar’s lament that if we see this as just a race war, “All we’re going to get is what we got out of Ferguson: a bunch of politicians and celebrities expressing sympathy and outrage.” No real change though.
Watch the video to hear Tucker Carlson’s viral rant about the riots and class warfare. It’s eye opening and as usual doesn’t disappoint.
