Charles Barkley: Ferguson looters are 'scumbags'

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Tell it how it is Barkley.

Former NBA star Charles Barkley recently called Ferguson looters “scumbags,” praised police officers who work in black neighborhoods, and said he supports the decision made by the grand jury not to indict officer Darren Wilson in the Michael Brown shooting.

During an interview on 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia on Tuesday, the day after the Ferguson decision was announced, host Mike Missanelli asked Barkley about it and why “black America” doesn’t trust the ruling.

His response surprised some listeners.

“The true story came out from the grand jury testimony,” Barkley said, adding that he was made aware of “key forensic evidence, and several black witnesses that supported Officer Darren Wilson’s story…” He continued, “I can’t believe anything I hear on television anymore. And, that’s why I don’t like talking about race issues with the media anymore, because they (the media) love this stuff, and lead people to jump to conclusions. The media shouldn’t do that. They never do that when black people kill each other. “

I guess he's "acting white" too, like the last time a black guy said something bad about other black people.

Gee, looters are scum bags, who'd have thought.

I know, right. I mean you, as bigoted as they come, agreeing with a black person...Who'd have thought!?
Don't worry you haven't just shocked yourself.

Never in my life would I have thought I'd agree with Charles Barkley.  Wonders never cease...

@Sinon: To certain elements of, as Doc puts it, "the Community", being halfway cognizant of anything could make people think you were acting white...and they wonder why the rest of society treats them as they do...

@Smooth: Yeah, its' shocking...kinda' like me becoming a mod, me becoming a conservative of sorts, etc.,etc.,etc.,etc.....
