Charles Barkley slams politicians, says 'system' is set up to 'divide and conquer'
Video Clip

the entire quote
"Man, I think most white people and Black people are great people. I really believe that in my heart, but I think our system is set up where our politicians, whether they’re Republicans or Democrats, are designed to make us not like each other so they can keep their grasp of money and power. They divide and conquer.
I truly believe in my heart most white people and Black people are awesome people, but we’re so stupid following our politicians, whether they’re Republicans or Democrats, and their only job is, ‘Hey, let’s make these people not like each other. We don’t live in their neighborhoods, we all got money, let’s make the whites and Blacks not like each other, let’s make rich people and poor people not like each other, let’s scramble the middle class.' I truly believe that in my heart."

Barkley is wise

I hope Not, Barkley is a helluva guy and always tells it like it is
Posted on 4/4/21 at 12:40 am to ZIGG
He's 100% right
Posted on 4/4/21 at 12:42 am to ZIGG
Well said Sir Charles.
Posted on 4/4/21 at 12:43 am to ZIGG
I mean he’s right but wtf why do they feel the need to talk about this stuff while covering a basketball game. Just talk about the game good lord this race crap doesn’t have to be forced on us everywhere we look

Then you scroll down and his point is instantly disproved. The hate is real and probably at the highest water mark since the early 70s. People are gullible

Chuck is beyond cancellation but even if he wasn’t, that’s pretty mild stuff to say.
Posted on 4/4/21 at 12:51 am to ZIGG
Did he just say most white people are great people?
And why was black capitalized in the quote?

Chuck ain’t getting cancelled. No woke, white exec has the balls to go after him and if they did Chuck would call them out live on television. I don’t think he nor Shaq are able to be cancelled. Most will laugh it off as Chuck being Chuck.

That's one Auburn tiger I can get behind. Charles tells it like he sees it.

Barley is a clown.

Barkley is un-cancellable
Posted on 4/4/21 at 1:09 am to ZIGG
You can’t cancel somebody that doesn’t give a frick. Chuck is set for the rest of his life, regardless of his current employment status. You can’t cancel a guy like that. That’s the beauty of the situation

Barkley sees the truth, which some people refuse to acknowledge.
Posted on 4/4/21 at 1:33 am to ZIGG
Barkley is 100% right. I wish everyone in this country watches this or reads his quote. Damn he was spot on!
Posted on 4/4/21 at 1:34 am to ZIGG
Charles Barkley is one of the more intelligent, well spoken human beings ever. Huge respect for the man. I like him a lot.

He is 100% correct and the NBA, NFL, and MLB should be ashamed of themselves to promote the things they do. No reason for any sports personnel to bring up politics but glad Chuck said what he said. The kneeling, vote ID boycott has no place in sports. People want to enjoy a sporting event not get a lecture on what we should think. Kudos to Barkley.

Barkley is right and I agree with him
Politicians need to divide in order to get people motivated against something. That motivation makes a person write a check to their campaign or a pac. It gets people to vote.
Politicians need to motivate you. They can either motivate you FOR something or Against something or maybe both but it’s easier to motivate you against something. And sometimes it’s not them but the PAC’s that will do the dirty work. They send the emails and put the memes out. They get people ticked off at the other side. Heck, they sometimes create the boogeyman that they want you to fight.
The divisiveness has gotten amplified by social
Media and the mainstream media’s use of social media. We have people with 10 different user names posting on.Twitter or Facebook or other platform and it creates a false majority to sway public opinion.
This commentary will anger some blacks. Heck, it’ll piss off some whites too.
What I like about Barkley is that he isn’t afraid to piss off blacks. He has always said that blacks need to stop listening to the negativity and work together. They need to question the Democrat party about why they focus so much on handouts.
