I think it's nice to hear someone call it like it is.

Well, that's because black people are (expletive deleted). One of the reasons that black people are not going to be successful is because of other black people. We tell black kids that if they make good grades, they are acting white. If they speak well, we tell them that they are acting white. We have a lot of demons in our own closet -- in our own family -- that we have to address. ... We become our own worst enemy with random black-on-black crime, teen pregnancy, single-parent homes
Q: You mentioned Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson earlier. What are your opinions of them?
A: I know them both, but they are race-baiters who have double standards for white racism and black racism.
Nice find:clap:
And its great to hear a black celebrity speaking out on these issues. Kudos Mr. Barkley

finally...a famous "one of their own" actually says what we all know
Q: Looking back on the Don Imus thing ...
A: What he said was atrocious. He should have got suspended, and not fired.
Q: Why not?
A: I don't think you can fire everyone for everything they say, first and foremost. It was wrong, it was hideous, as a man who got a daughter, as a black man who got a daughter. But I thought he should have gotten suspended, and that's it. I would have been content with that. ...

i hated charles barkley but this is making me turn around a little bit. it is good to see that a black person is saying this. white people have been saying this forever and that makes them racist in the eyes of the good reverends sharpton and jackson. a figure revered in the black community saying things like this will open up some peoples eyes....hopefully

I remember an interview on ESPN years ago where he said black people that blamed everyone else for their failures were lazy. He said how no one was going to keep him from being a success. Its too bad that its easier to complain that whitey is holding them down instead of going out there and doing something to improve yourself.

Why does everyone feel the need to call Imus' comments horrendous and deplorable? Chicks who play basketball are ugly. It's a fact. Even family guy did a joke on it.
Brain: This place officially sucks worse than the WNBA
Announcer 1: And at the top of the second half it's 16 to 9, Easton leads the scoring with 4.
Announcer 2: And that's why she commands SEVEN thousand dollars a year, these gals sure do make it look difficult.
Annoucer 1: But is having this minor skill worth being so unattractive? That's for the fan to decide.
Fan: Yay!

Everyone also failed to notice that about the Tennessee team that beat the nappy headed hos from Rutgers. Imus called the Tennessee girls cute in the same conversation that got him fired, and the implication from the media was that the Tennessee team was filled with Barbie dolls and pretty white girls. Newsflash - both teams looked pretty much the same in a lineup:

I grew up loving Barkley as a player. He was in his prime when I was a kid. And I'm starting to like more then his rebounding skills. He made some valid points. He's a good egg.

yeah that jayz joke was fantastic
barkley has even gone after jim brown in the past, which no one does. I remember jay mohr on the wnew show saying that you could cut off jim browns arms and legs, and just roll him down the hall in prison, and everyone would still be intimidated by him.
barkley called him an ass and a wannabe martyr on espn for insulting tiger woods and michael jordan. barkley does not play around, and is real conservative

I always saw Charles as a full out racist! mayby i was wrong... he says some good shit here.
In some quarters Barack has been criticized for not being black enough.
Well, that's because black people are fucked up. One of the reasons that black people are not going to be successful is because of other black people. We tell black kids that if they make good grades, they are acting white. If they speak well, we tell them that they are acting white. We have a lot of demons in our own closet--in our own family--that we have to address. But first of all, we want black men to be intelligent and articulate and things like that. That's not acting white. That's the way it should be. ... We become our own worst enemy with random black-on-black crime, teen pregnancy, single-parent homes. You know we cannot blaming white America for our ills. Does racism exist? Of course it does. But, at some point, I have to make sure I am educated. I don't have ten kids and no job. I am not killing other black people. At some point, you have to grow up.

Yeah Charles was planning to run for Alabama Governor as a Republican back in the 90s, he's defintely a free thinker.

"I was a Republican until they lost their minds," he said earlier this month at a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada.

Don't forget that the entire RU bball team got prepped up before they made their public stand against Imus. This is a serious "before" and "after" situation.
Further, if you research the controversy that RU women's hoops got into with UCONN 2 seasons ago, you'll see that they didn't always behaive with much class . . .

I find it humorous that the two hoes in the Rutger's line-up both happen to have Frisbees hanging from their ears.
