Yahoo Finance speaks with NBA champion Kareem Abdul-Jabbar about the killing of George Floyd and how corporate America can address the racial wealth gap.
Anger over the May 25 killing of George Floyd has coincided with “the slimy underbelly of institutional racism” being exposed by the coronavirus, wrote NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, in a recent L.A. Times op-ed. The recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Abdul-Jabbar is the NBA's all time leading scorer, six-time NBA champion, and only six-time MVP.
Racism, however, is not confined to acts of police brutality and the unjustified deadly use of force against African-Americans as seen in the case of Eric Garner who died in a police chokehold or George Floyd who drew his last breath as a cop’s knee pressed into his throat. Corporate America has made headlines by donating millions of dollars to organizations fighting racial injustice. Abdul-Jabbar says companies also have a role to play in addressing racial income inequality in America’s workplaces.
