Charles Barkley: predictably unpredictable.

So, will the race baiters jump on Sir Charles? He’s a guy who can definitely take the heat - and he has access to media.

"it gives every white person and black person who is racist a platform to vent their ignorance"

I don’t know what it is about Barkley but I have not watched one Suns game since they traded him. They ticked me off! I like the guy.

there was racial profiling, no question about it.


Dang, he almost had me.

No Charles, there was Criminal Profiling! Big Difference, Idiot.

That might be the sanest thing Barkley has ever said. He is always one for surprises, but it’s usually a matter of how far off into the deep end he goes. Not this time.

After watching a clip of Zimmerman walking Sanford PD through his actions that night, sans lawyer, I'd say Zimmerman is pretty harmless. It's also clear, from his artlessness (verging on naivete), why Sanford PD declined to charge him with a crime. Here's the 15 minute Youtube clip. At least before the community activists and media outlets got involved.

Charles Barkley is a reprehensible POS. Always has been and he remains one now.

Every time I hear the word “conservative,” it makes me sick to my stomach

Just happened to check of the Piers Morgan show. Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson giving old Piers a heavy broadside. Morgan got agitated and tried to talk over the reverend who is black. The reverend really gave it to all and sundry, re the mindless reaction against Zimmerman.
Include the gentleman in with Sir Charles if there is any repercussions. He quoted figures of young black men being murdered by the thousand, since the Travon Martin tragic event.

Honesty is refreshing.. I agree that Zimmerman should of done things differently.. I think anyone with a reasonable mind would agree with that. I think that while he was racial profiling he didn’t really do anything wrong but follow someone who fit the profile of people that were robbing the neighborhood and that profile happened to be of black men. It’s not like they had just robbers in that area and George decided they were black robbers.

Barkley went on to add that he felt the entire affair was “turrible,” before digressing into an op-ed on Kim Jong Il.
