Kareem Abdul-Jabbar responds to the response to his response to ‘Girls’ | Huff Post Ent (via popculturebrain)
“Some questioned why a man my age would watch a show about girls in their twenties, as if they’d just discovered me hanging around a school playground with a shopping bag full of candy in one hand a fluffy puppy in the other. Of course, these critics are right. When I read Moby Dick I first had to convince the bookseller that I was a former whaler named Queequeg. When I read the poetry of Sylvia Plath, I had to pretend I was a depressed white woman with daddy issues. Don’t worry, I used a fake ID.”

I was just waiting for Kareem to “have to” justify why he was possibly qualified to write about “Girls.” Thanks for not disappointing, white America.
