Jabari Parker was among the dozens of athletes shocked by Donald Trumps' victory over Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's U.S. presidential election.

The Milwaukee Bucks forward voiced his displeasure via Twitter, declaring he wouldn't support Trump:

Personally, whenever I see "Make America..." I see a time in place where slavery was still alive and women's rights weren't practiced.

Cocaine was explosive 30 yrs ago. Integration was illegal 60 yrs ago. Women's rights 90 yrs ago. America's prison system is still unjust

I have friends who are Female, Latino, LGBT, muslim, and black. I will not support anyone who disrespects my friends.

How do you explain to this face what happen? You can be a educated women in your field an not get the job because your a women or cause your black? How do you say "go try your best" even though it won't be good enough. How do I even feel confident sending her on play dates knowing the kids family voted for the racist, sexist person an I don't know how they will treat her when she's gone. How? Seriously How? I understand let go and let God! But damn!
