Charles Barkley: ‘Unintelligent’ Blacks ‘Brainwashed’ To Keep Successful Black Men Down


25 Oct

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.”

Finally! Someone says it to the black community it's time to look at yourselves why so many are living lazy government dependent lives. And the blacks with motivation to be more then what others do not have the motivation to achieve themselves in the black community strike out in with racist jealousy.

@Doc: He'll be ignored...then again, considering its' Charles Barkley who said, a few people might actually listen. :whistle::whistle:

@Liberty: Ever been to the Big White Ghetto known as Appalachia, Liberty? That entire region makes the worst urban ghettos appear like Harvard campuses...and yet, no one seems to complain about them. Could it be because...oh, I don't know, 'cause most of the people there are white? If they were black, you and Doc would be raising holy f-n' hell over "the Community" as Doc so eloquently puts it...but I guess 'cause they're white, its' okay, isn't it?

Okay? Have no idea what your point is.
 
I've been to Appalachia, the Kentucky version, not NC, and I do still have distant relatives that live there.

There is a significant difference from what I remember between the people there and those in the Inner City areas of Baltimore and Chicago.

"Back in the Hills" most of the people there want the government to leave them the hell alone. I remember back in the Eighties being down there with my grandmother whose in-laws lived somewhere southeast of Lexington and reading in their newspaper how the officials with the "government cheese giveaway" were upset because they had cheese and other commodities left that they couldn't give away. The people didn't want a hand out.

In the Cities, they stand in line with their hands out for "Obama Phones" and everything else Uncle gives them.
 
I'd read the article, Doc, but I hate the bastards over at Breitbart about as much as I hate England's The Sun newspaper...:mad:

...remind me sometime, Doc, to explain The Sun reference sometime...
 
I've read the Sun.

For those not familiar with it, the Sun is London's answer to the US's National Enquirer.

They do cover 'hard news' sometimes, perhaps more by accident than intent, but they do.

Their objectivity is somewhat more questionable than that even the Enquirer pretends to have.

And, just from what I've seen, their definition of 'truth' may be suspect as well where at least the Enquirer does get things right at least once in awhile. And then they usually end up getting sued over it. Which is always fun to watch.
