Yikes I’m somewhat embarrassed as I never use the slang “gawd.” I don’t know where that came from. Please disregard:)
Word disregarded - the problem I have with Barkley is that he seems to be talking off the top of his head most of the time - saying things like those in this article sometimes, and then others which seem much the opposite such as that he wants to represent the Democrat party - Bill Cosby is another who talks much the same way, speaking about how having babies out of marriage is hurting blacks at one point, and later saying things that seem to mean that blacks’ problems are brought on by whites - Allen West is much more consistent and sensible in what he says - Ben Carson, Walter Williams, and Jason Riley also talk good sense virtually every time they open their mouths, IMO.....
