re: Charles Barkley dropped a truth bomb live on TNT and will likely get "Cancelled" for it

while true, that could also be said about Piers Morgan and Sharon Osborne and they got cancelled.

This is true, but it's true for both sides. We all had to hear "NOT MY PRESIDENT" for four years as the Democrats and Hillary Clinton herself called Trump an "illegitimate president". The truth is that she was a career politician that was so unlikable that she couldn't beat a guy with zero political experience. Then they bogged the country down with the Russia collusion BS because they couldn't accept defeat.

Sir Charles is the man. I don’t agree with him all the time, but he won’t back down from what he believes. Shaq is the same way.

This is why I’m not a fan of any politician. They’re all in it together. That’s why we’re stuck with Joe.

He's a genuinely good dude.

Charles Barkley's unexpected friendship

He will not get cancelled.

I have always believed that the only way lower class African-Americans will truly get out of their situation is for their leaders to start holding them accountable. Whites cannot fix it. We are starting to see that with conservative minority politicians and athletes who are not identifying with the left. Once a large percentage of upper middle class minorities buy in to that they will start to have expectations of the lower class minorities, and not take up for them just because of their skin color.

When you have a culture that glorifies rape, crime, the absence of a father, and the idolization of pop culture artists promoting these acts, it is hard to get over that hurdle. This did not happen overnight. In high school I listened to a lot of rap with god awful lyrics, but I knew better. I was raised right. That is not the case with a sizeable portion of minorities, and they go down the wrong path.

It boils down to what is going on inside the home. I know several close knit black families who are all about family, religion, and taking care of one another. They are great people, and in many cases closer and more supportive than white families that I know.

Every black person I come across in business, at a store, in public, etc. are good people. Individually, they are wholesome and just want the opportunity to thrive. An issue is when they come together as a community, and promote their victimized situation. It would be no different than whites attending a party, and bashing a minority race blaming them for all crime, the downfall of society, etc. How are they going to improve if all they do is point the finger?

But I agree with OP, the politicians and media drive the wedge constantly.

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

He says, without a hint of irony.

Chuck is almost there. He just needs to come out and say who’s in charge of the media that’s driving these wedges.

They are mostly behaved in public. Give them facebook/twitter and places like Tigerdroppings and all bets are off.

What a sad, pathetic thing to say.
