Charles Barkley Doubles Down On His Ferguson Statements With CNN, Says "We As Black People, We Have A Lot Of Crooks"
(CNN) - who once said he doesn’t create controversies, he just brings them to our attention — is at it again. The basketball analyst for Turner Sports and former NBA great isn’t backing away from comments he made on the radio recently that people who torched buildings in Ferguson are “scumbags” and some blacks degrade successful African-Americans too often as not black enough. Barkley also agreed with the grand jury’s decision not to indict former Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson, who is white, for fatally shooting an unarmed black teenager. In an interview with CNN’s Brooke Baldwin on Tuesday, Barkley repeatedly came back to one point: He doesn’t believe that white cops are out to shoot black people because of racism.
This is just a continuation of yesterday where I, and later Pres, basically says Barkley pisses where he pleases. And rightfully so. I need this man ran for public office*. Not for blogging purposes because it would provide endless amounts of entertainment (as it absolutely fucking would), but the man is as honest as they come. Whether you agree or disagree with his views or don’t you’re not going to get some watered down, bullshit PC response. Chuck’s gonna Chuck. We need more people in this world who will shoot their shit straight no matter what.
*For as much as I love him, The Round Mound Of Rebound would be one of the most corrupt politicians in the land. All you’d have to do is offer him booze or food and it’s game over for ethics. You think this man could say no to a free Baconater and Frosty? I think not.
