NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley spoke candidly about the problems facing the black community when appearing on a Philadelphia radio station, accusing “unintelligent,” “brainwashed” African-Americans of keeping successful ones down. While appearing on “Afternoons with Anthony Gargano and Rob Ellis,” Barkley was asked about a rumor that Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson was getting criticism from his black teammates for not being, quote, “black enough.” Barkley went on a long monologue on the subject: ”Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we’re never going to be successful, not because of you white people, but because of other black people. When you’re black, you have to deal with so much crap in your life from other black people. It’s a dirty, dark secret; I’m glad it’s coming out.” Barkley said that young black men who do well in school are accused of “acting white” by their peers. “One of the reasons we’re never going to be successful as a whole, because of other black people. And for some reason we are brainwashed to think, if you’re not a thug or an idiot, you’re not black enough. If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don’t break the law, you’re not a good black person. And it’s a dirty, dark secret.” “There are a lot of black people who are unintelligent, who don’t have success,” he continued. “It’s best to knock a successful black person down because they’re intelligent, they speak well, they do well in school, and they’re successful…” “We’re the only ethnic group who say, ‘Hey, if you go to jail, it gives you street cred.’ It’s just typical BS that goes on when you’re black, man.” |

They don't attack other white people for "acting white" it doesn't even make sense. There is a reason the term "acting white" means what it does and it didnt come from white people. Radical Islam doesn't even play into this topic, it's apples and oranges Eta: you could add something in there about "ghey" culture. That's very comparable. If you don't march lock step with what the accepted mindset of the radicle homos you will be ostracized and attacked. Just ask the guy from Texas that was friends with that colonist chick, the skinney blond. Can't remember her name. His truck was vandalized and he had to quit a reality show because of hatred from teh ghey. Or you can just ask me. I would say gay culture is second to black culture in encouraging helpless destructive behavior. And mindless conformity. The mindless conformity is overwhelming. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

There is some truth to some in what Charles is saying.
Years ago, when I was still young and single and living in the barracks as an airman at an overseas base, I had a black friend who was also taking night college classes and he was somewhat gifted in mathematics. I think he eventually ended up years later with a Ph.D. in statistical analysis and probability theory. Anyway, the other black guys in the barracks spent every evening in the base gym playing basketball. I heard them, more than once, giving my friend shit for taking college classes at night instead of hanging out in the gym. I suspect this bothered him but he kept in all in perspective. I guess my friend was acting "too much like a white person" for the other black guys to accept his taking college classes instead of playing basketball. True story. |

More discussion of this sort needs to be aired on Sunday morning talk shows by prominent and successful blacks until it starts becoming standard fare.
This cycle of slow thinkers,criminals,and irresponsible baby making machines living off the fat of the tax paying responsible people of the nation really has to stop. |

This is a great example of why I LOVE it when someone asks Barkley what he thinks.
Dude says EXACTLY what's on his mind. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

The whole thug culture is what holds back a bright future for some black people. (Jackson and Sharpton are thugs too) |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile White trash does however attack other white people for "putting on","acting above everybody else" or "acting proper". They don't specifically say anything about being white but they do find ways to keep others around them down just like the black thing being discussed here. |

I had a good friend and coworker tell me the same thing. He was working, going to community college, and staying out of trouble. He caught a lot of hell about it from his "peers" in the community. He was above it though.

The sad thing is that there really are a lot of blacks out there that are brainwashed to believe that the people that they believe care about them only act like it line their pockets and stay relevant. Where would people like Sharpton be if there was no racial tension, and black people weren't disproportionately poor?

Charles Barkley
Bill Cosby Dave Chappelle Aaron Magruder Chris Rock Colion Noir Stacey to the Right There's a quiet but ugly war going on in black America we know so little about. I ran across this show late on night while channel surfing, it was a panel of young black, men and women, and they were tearing each other up over that issue. There was genuine anger and hate flowing back and forth. A couple of things mentioned were who gets rich over keeping blacks stupid and ignorant - of course Jesse and Al topped the list but so did a variety of rappers and it rounded out with the democrat party. |

View Quote This is part of the whole cursive vs print thing. It used to be that children printed, idiot adults printed and educated adults used cursive. Of course things have switched so that printing is mainstream etc. Oh yeah, that Barkley guy isn't half wrong either. Unfortunately he's going to be crucified for his opinion because according to the black community running up and down a field with a little ball is all black people are good for. |
