“A lot of black people don’t seem to realize that in the new America, the only people of color who matter, are people who only speak Spanish.”

A lot of them are too ignorant to realize that they, too, are being replaced. It’s not just ‘whitey’.

Fake, pseudo or quasi racism = not racist.

Hallelujah; Trump is off the hook!

Trump said illegal immigrants are ““poisoning the blood of our country.” If he had used the word, “polluting’, it could be interpreted as racist. But Trump used the word, “poisoning”.

How are immigrants poisoning our blood? With meth, fentanyl, etc. There were 70,601 overdose deaths in 2021.

Exactly. I’m fed up with spoiled actors, musicians, models and athletes who mistakenly believe we care about their opinions. Nothing could be further from the truth. If they wish to get involved in politics, then they should do what Donald Trump and Arnold Schwarzenegger did, which is run for office.

There is no such thing as pseudo racist speech. It’s racist or it isn’t. I hate it when people try to use big words to try to sound educated or smart. “Per se...”

Oh I’m sure that in private fat ass Charles praises Trump supporters. He certainly doesn’t mean to influence anyone to vote as he would like them to. It’s not like he’s famous or anything. (you may not realize this sarcasm)

The principle that celebrities should stfu unless they support my opinion is bizarre. Kid Rock, Kanye, James Woods or Arron Rogers are much smarter, right?

Disagreeing with them is fine, free country and all that, but racist insults and personal attacks doesn’t make for a good argument.

So Charles isn’t personally attacking Trump? You said that is not okay.

I remember that time Charles threw a guy through a picture window in downtown Orlando. What a guy!

He’s talking about his statements so no, not personal.

Personal would be more like trump should shut up and take his fat ass back to Germany where the nazis are from and get a better haircut.

Or using throwing someone through a window incident to somehow try and invalidate their opinion.

Stuff like that.

To be clear, I don’t care what Barkley thinks, nor do I care to defend him. What I find objectionable are the responses on this thread, especially the racist ones.

Yeah…Charles is no democrat.

I don’t care what he thinks any more or less than what anyone thinks. But, if you think he is a lib…you aren’t paying attention.
