Charles has made some mistakes in his life, but he gets it. He’s pretty badass and spot on.

Barkley is always right. With that said

Blacks are the most racist people in America today.

Chuck does not get canceled. C’mon now, the man said the reason he doesn’t buy a woman a clock because there’s one in the kitchen

The funny thing is he refers to both ideologically indoctrinated sides, but both sides will only interpret it as applying to the other side.

One of the hallmarks of an ideologue of any stripe is an inability or unwillingness to self-reflect and an utter aversion to ascribe any shortcomings at all to their particular side. Everything will be projected onto the opposing side.


My beliefs are far right by the standards of today, and I can identify parts of "my side" that are divisive and exploitative.

The NRA definitely exploits white racism to get money. Where were they when Philando Castile was murdered for exercising his rights?

Incorporating affluent white suburban communities like St. George is divisive and even unethical, in my view. You're disengaging from the overall metropolis and denying black children their share of its tax base. You're also creating a law enforcement apparatus to chase them back into the ghetto. Incorporation is a statement that these children (and your metropolis) are completely unworthy of any investment.

The political right is completely blind (outside of Trump and some of his supporters) to any critique of our military-industrial complex and its expensive adventures.

Those are the things "my side" gets wrong. We're just right about all the other stuff.

The NRA is hot garbage and Yanez should have got jail time, but the NRA wouldn’t get involved because he also had a controlled substance while in possession of a firearm.

Again, NRA=trash. I’d buy more into BLM if they used cases like Castile, Rice, or Scott for their cause but that’s a bad instance to attack them on the basis of race.

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


Exactly... that’s what I meant in my previous post but I guess people are misunderstanding it. I’m 100% conservative and think it’s horrible what Democrats and the media do to dupe Black voters every election. What does the Republican party have to gain by driving a wedge between people? Nothing! Nothing is the answer. Most of the deviciveness in this world is spun by the left and the global progressive agenda. I like what Chuck said but he is about halfway right.

No... Chuck is saying wether you’re Republican or Democrat the system is set up to divide people. How in the hell do you see Republicans benefiting from keeping people divided? Next time Chuck should vote for Trump if he is fed up with the system. We all know Trump is not a racist but the media is all in with Democrat party and they successfully painted him as a racist which in turn made me and everybody else that voted for Trump a racist. This is the false narrative that successfully divided our country. That’s why we’re supposed to believe that white supremacy and systemic racism is rampant when it’s all a bunch of BS. Barkley used to be conservative then drank the Obama kool-aid. Hopefully he’ll come full circle.

Ernie Johnson knows where the $$$ comes from. Barkley is the main reason that folks watch Inside the NBA.

Here's Barkley's classic slam dunk on Jussie Smollett, with Shaq egging him on the whole time. LINK

This is an incredibly popular opinion. I would say other than diehard Trump supporters and diehard liberals, pretty much everyone else in the country feels this way.

denying black children their share of its tax base


How can you possibly define a child’s fair share of the tax base? Is it based on the amount they pay in taxes each year or how much their parents pay?
