    Lol

    Ok ....

    Barkley is free to have his opinion. But the real ? is this idea he is this purveyor of truth who is being punished by many of the very ppl he is trying to help. Then he goes on to act like he does not want a pat on his back for his donations to HBCUs and then proceeds to pat himself on back

    Ppl question his blkness, or allegiances rather, not because they don't like that he "keeps it real". Its in response to when he makes comments like: “The notion that white cops are out there killing Black people is ridiculous. It’s flat-out ridiculous. I challenge any Black person to make that point. Cops are absolutely awesome. They’re the only thing in the ghetto (separating this place) from this place being the Wild, Wild West.” Or when he defends the actions of the officer who killed Eric Garner as being justified

    What is even more damning is when he disparages or dismisses the likes of the BLM movement or police detractors, he does so without acknowledging that they do raise valid concerns

    I really don't take much he says seriously. This is the same man when asked if he would ever play again for the 76ers, said, "I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the ? ." But if this isnt the biggest case of a kettle calling the ? black

    I don't think that's true.

    Why?

    Unfortunately there are many ppl who tend to share the same sentiments or are at least predisposed to

    And he's said that he's wanted to pursue a political career. Think he ran for a senate seat in Alabama before

    Wouldn't be surprised if he was intentionally trying to position himself to do so or just garner the support of a certain constituency

    I mean who knows

    But its plausible

    I don't think that's true. He doesn't say the ? that he does because he wants to give FOX News fodder to use against blacks. However, he is irresponsible and stubborn and refuses to understand that's exactly what he's doing.
    Lolz. U REALLY dont think Barkley knows what hes doing???
    BarkleySIcover.jpg?token=bPB7LLpcwESMBpR0uJTtHhjmqco%3D

    So ya'll are cool when people like Lebron compare professional athletics to slavery every time they don't get what they want, but SI symbolizing Charles talking freely and unrestrained by using the imagery of a slave breaking his chains is too much?
    Lebron? This ? just completely changed the subject lol.

    U previously stated Barkley didnt know what he was doing when speaking on race. But its CLEAR as day this ? is a willful ? much like Lil Wayne, Kanye, Ray Lewis, RZA & the other ? you defend. U still think he aint know what he was doing wearing chains on that cover?

    My problem with Barkley and it has always been my problem is that he is never consistent and goes back and forth on his views. Whether it's politics, social issues, predicting who will win a game or championship, or chasing a ring. He alwys says one thing and then changes his opinion and pretend like no one will notice. He is such a hypocrite at so many things that I will never embrace that guy.

    Yeah he roasted those who fit the shoe pretty good. Got em going in here I see. But he was simple and to the point and what he said, in this instance, is undeniable. I havent seen any post that disproves what he actually said. Its just people who dont like him giving reasons why. I think another thing that may hurt is the fact he actually did things financially. While they have done nothing (in many cases) but whine and complain and whatnot. Getting that mirror put up to them and hthe truth of that. It is what it is.

    What a disingenuous analogy. Athletes stating Inconvenient Truths about owners acting like Plantation slave masters is not the same thing as Charles Barkley dressing up as a ? slave on the cover of SI. Thats a lasting image and a disgrace, there's no comparison

    Professional athletes are not slaves under any set of circumstances. What they go through is no different than what a lot of working class people go through and honestly people in Lebron's position have a lot more freedom than the average person. That man knows he's never going to be in a position where he's not good. A lot of the people in this country are in a position where their bosses truly have power over them because if they lose their jobs for any reason, right or wrong, they are ? . Lebron invoked the slavery rhetoric for one reason and one reason only. He was about to pull that ? with Miami and he knew there would be a lot of criticism, so he wanted to deflect some of it by painting Gilbert as the villain (which to some extent he was). If you believe anybody making millions of dollars has the right to compare themselves to slaves, you're being idiotic and just as ignorant as Lebron and Barkley in this case.

    And words last just like pictures. The same way you can surf the net to dig up that cover. I can surf the net to dig up Lebron's quote. At the end of the day, you dislike Barkley so you're less forgiving. You're making it seem like he was dressing up as a slave like it was some kind of good thing. He wasn't. He was breaking the shackles. The symbology was meant only to cast the same negative light on censorship that is associated with slavery. That is the same ? thing that Lebron was trying to do, only replace censorship with NBA business dealings.

    But its plausible

    I don't disagree, and I don't know for sure. I'm just going by Barkley's history. To me if you look at the totality of what he says and does, he's more of a person that's out of touch with the average black person and doesn't have the sense to keep his mouth closed on these issues than someone who is trying to ingratiate himself to white people. After all, there have been times when he's ? white people off too by saying ? they don't like. More often than not he just doesn't think before he speaks. On top of that, he's really not that bright of a guy. People are giving him way more credit than he deserves. If it's not about basketball, no one should be taking his comments seriously.
    Lebron? This ? just completely changed the subject lol.

    U previously stated Barkley didnt know what he was doing when speaking on race. But its CLEAR as day this ? is a willful ? much like Lil Wayne, Kanye, Ray Lewis, RZA & the other ? you defend. U still think he aint know what he was doing wearing chains on that cover?

    Me and you have been around and around on this topic, but this time you should have no beef with me. I've said multiple times in this topic that I think it's perfectly fine to call Barkley a ? . The only people you listed that I ever defended were Ray Lewis and Rza and I admitted they said some dumb ? , but I also don't believe a few bad comments makes a person a ? . However, Barkley has a body of work that I wouldn't even try to defend. I think calling him a ? is a lazy way of attacking him, but that's really all ya'll are capable of, so have it. It's more appropriate in this case than most, so I wouldn't bother arguing against that.

    My ? for real? I swear some of you dudes have the reasoning ability of 2 year olds. In what world what you just did be considered any kind of logical way to discuss something? Like I can't even articulate the stupidity of what you just did.

    Look man, I'll say it for the third time this topic. You want to call Barkley a ? , go ahead. I have no problem with that. I probably wouldn't call him that because it's too simplistic and doesn't really describe his stupidity all that well, but he's got more than enough bonafide coonish acts and comments to make the title fit. We weren't debating whether Barkley was a ? or not. We were talking about the merit or potential truth in his recent statements, and almost everyone in this topic has agreed that they weren't really wrong. I'm not sure why you dudes are still arguing so hard about this.

    Yeah common sense would say "thats his opinion of course it aint gon be the exact same as mine" plus thats Barkley I mean gotta put things in their place and perspective. I would say its an immature thing but ironically there are older people who seem to think like that too. Like they dont understand your not going to agree with someone exactly on everything, but you may on some things. So you can weigh what those things are. I think a lot of people just take an emotional viewpoint and it clouds their reasoning to where they cant see positives for what they are any more. And then there are the undercovers who are not of the demographic they portray who get in these discussions to try to cause discord and try to paint giving money to colleges by him as some type of negative. That type of thing is childsplay to me to see through though...
    F it I actually think hey, I'd rather that man be real and say his mind. I can agree with this and not that we arent clones. Clowns think they can control or have any say over him like that? Uh, I dont think so.

    The fact that you continue to assume and at the very least imply that anyone disagreeing with Barkley is, uneducated, broke and unable to support his\her family makes you just as big of a ? as he is.

    The problem with those of you riding the ? train is, your go to is, "How much money do you have?" "Have you given as much as ___________?" Get the ? out of here with this ? line of questioning and thinking.

    There are scientists, teachers, counselors, mentors, doctors, etc that will never have the wealth that Barkley was allowed by the creator to have. This doesn't make their contributions any less to society or whatever charities and institutions they give too any less.

    No Black people aren't the only ones that need to say the right things. We all should be striving to say and do the right things. However, when given the station of being in the public ones sense of etiquette, class and character should rise to the status they have been afforded.

After all, there have been times when he's ? white people off too by saying ? they don't like. More often than not he just doesn't think before he speaks. On top of that, he's really not that bright of a guy. People are giving him way more credit than he deserves. If it's not about basketball, no one should be taking his comments seriously.
    Lebron? This ? just completely changed the subject lol.

    U previously stated Barkley didnt know what he was doing when speaking on race. But its CLEAR as day this ? is a willful ? much like Lil Wayne, Kanye, Ray Lewis, RZA & the other ? you defend. U still think he aint know what he was doing wearing chains on that cover?

    Me and you have been around and around on this topic, but this time you should have no beef with me. I've said multiple times in this topic that I think it's perfectly fine to call Barkley a ? . The only people you listed that I ever defended were Ray Lewis and Rza and I admitted they said some dumb ? , but I also don't believe a few bad comments makes a person a ? . However, Barkley has a body of work that I wouldn't even try to defend. I think calling him a ? is a lazy way of attacking him, but that's really all ya'll are capable of, so have it. It's more appropriate in this case than most, so I wouldn't bother arguing against that.

    Ok ....

    Barkley is free to have his opinion. But the real ? is this idea he is this purveyor of truth who is being punished by many of the very ppl he is trying to help. Then he goes on to act like he does not want a pat on his back for his donations to HBCUs and then proceeds to pat himself on back

    Ppl question his blkness, or allegiances rather, not because they don't like that he "keeps it real". Its in response to when he makes comments like: “The notion that white cops are out there killing Black people is ridiculous. It’s flat-out ridiculous. I challenge any Black person to make that point. Cops are absolutely awesome. They’re the only thing in the ghetto (separating this place) from this place being the Wild, Wild West.” Or when he defends the actions of the officer who killed Eric Garner as being justified

    What is even more damning is when he disparages or dismisses the likes of the BLM movement or police detractors, he does so without acknowledging that they do raise valid concerns

    I really don't take much he says seriously. This is the same man when asked if he would ever play again for the 76ers, said, "I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the ? ." But if this isnt the biggest case of a kettle calling the ? black

    @The Lonious Monk this is the man u defend?

    I guess that quote is no different than when lebron said he's choosing miami huh?

    My ? for real? I swear some of you dudes have the reasoning ability of 2 year olds. In what world what you just did be considered any kind of logical way to discuss something? Like I can't even articulate the stupidity of what you just did.

    Look man, I'll say it for the third time this topic. You want to call Barkley a ? , go ahead. I have no problem with that. I probably wouldn't call him that because it's too simplistic and doesn't really describe his stupidity all that well, but he's got more than enough bonafide coonish acts and comments to make the title fit. We weren't debating whether Barkley was a ? or not. We were talking about the merit or potential truth in his recent statements, and almost everyone in this topic has agreed that they weren't really wrong. I'm not sure why you dudes are still arguing so hard about this.

    You don't have any data to qualify Barkley's ? statement. Barkley's charitable contributions are not a qualifier neither is the ten people in here agreeing with Barkley's statement.

    This site, hell, this thread is really the only data needed. How often do we have relatively benign topics like this blow up cause ? like you want to start calling names and attacking characters every times someone says something you don't particularly like or agree with? Silly ? like you and the others in this thread aren't unique in the black community or human race in general. There are lots of people out that respond to discourse like 4 year olds and attack the messenger rather than the message. That's why we a crooked buffoon as president because people can't think rationally. They get in their emotions and their ? and act based on that.

    Barkley isn't wrong about that. You ? never need data to quantify or qualify the dumb ? you say, so why does Barkley. 9 times out of 10 he just a fool that likes to run of at the mouth. This time his comments just happened to be less foolish than usual. You disagree. Fine, but how about you provide some data to qualify your side? Or you could just keep doing what you always do, which is call people who disagree with you a ? or in other words, nothing.

    You are a ? and a clown to boot. Why? Because you are supporting ? \clown rhetoric. If, the IC is your go to source for polling data then you aren't just riding the ? train you're an idiot as well. You support Barkley responding like a 4 year old but are here accusing others of behaving similarly? If, you are going to support one person responding like a 4 year old support them all. Hypocrite.

    There is no message in calling people losers and full ? because, they disagree with you or question your person. Barkley's sounding off was rational and unemotional? Man ? off.

    There is no need for me qualify any statements because, I do my utmost to not throw out blanket statements against other people especially my own.

    Funny how this thread basically proved Chuck right.
