Former NBA great Charles Barkley called out unintelligent black people for criticizing successful black people as acting white or not acting black enough.
Its a dirty dark secret in the black community, Barkley said, adding later that we are brainwashed to think if youre not a thug or an idiot youre not black enough.
There are a lot of black people who are unintelligent, who dont have success who believe its best to knock a successful black person down cause theyre intelligent, they speak well, they do well in school, and theyre successful, Barkley added.
Barkley also said that black people will struggle not because of whites but because of all the crap in your life from other black people.
Why he seems amazed that no one ‘knows’, amazes me.
This ‘acting White BS’ been going on for a long time and it basically has resulted in the ‘Black Community’, in general, being more like a Third World Country.
Its ‘citizens’ - for the most part - are VERY RICH or VERY POOR, with the people in between supporting the ‘Top Echelon’ and propping up the ‘Lower Echelon’.
Much like the ‘White’ Community although there really isn’t a cranked in atmosphere in the White Community that one will NEVER make it.
The Government, in its erring ways, decided to boost up the lower side with benefits - hence the ‘Great Society’ was born.
The results were very long lasting and we will probably NEVER completely overcome it since we have 3rd and 4th generations of Welfare Recipients breeding future Welfare Recipients - I don’t think ‘they’ look at #s, they are just looking to the ‘rewards’ of pumping out more dependents.
Then you have these neglected children, often raised with no adult supervision and it being pounded in them that ALL men are SOB’s and White Men are SOB’s and Devils.
In the early 70’s we had an Asphalt Plant on the ‘edge’ of a what would probably be called a ‘Working Class’ Black Community in S Arlington VA.
Many a night I, or someone like me, may ‘fall asleep’ at the gate or on one of the side streets near the plant and ‘take a nap’ after a hard night of solving the worlds problems at the local beer joint.
NEVER had anyone bother me, on occasion I may wake up and have a cup of coffee on the hood OR in the truck - Nobody would bother us because MOST of the Males in the community worked at the Asphalt Plant or the Local Concrete Plant.
They served all capacities from laborers to truck drivers and yes, we had Black Foremen and Black Ladies in the Office - BECAUSE they earned the job and title -
BUT ‘we’ had a pass - so to speak.
The neighborhood - last I have seen though it is becoming ‘yuppyfied’ - is really not one that you would be driving through at night - especially if someone thought you may have something of value.....
THANKS LBJ and your ‘fellow travelers’, now that we are saddled with a Black pResident, a situation that seemingly couldn’t get much worse, GOT MUCH WORSE.

Fine. Now, Why do they have so much sway in the Black community?
“My daughters best friend is in med school with only one year to go to become a doctor. Her family (parents, siblings, cousins, etc.) all call her white girl.”
I had a black girl friend as an undergraduate. We could not let her family know we were dating. My parents liked her.
That’s just so sad, and must make things so difficult for her.
Malice.
They are all jealous that she’s doing good.
Is that Charles Barkley or Frank Caliendo (as Charles Barkley) there?
no, they are watermelons - green on the outside, commie red on the inside.
Seriously though, I think we need to get away with the colors thing representing people and ideology.
I love the color red. Roses, Sunsets, birds, even red clay dirt.
:)
Could be either.
That is very unfortunate. And when she’s making the big bucks they won’t hesitate to be there with their hands out I’m sure.
LOL !
Barkley is responding to the rumors that some Seattle
Seahawk teammates don’t think quarterback Russell Wilson is black enough.
Steven A of ESPN also went off on this(IN A GOOD WAY).
Finally! someone with the GUTS to speak the truth!
You’re right. It’s common knowledge among blacks and whites.
Does that mean they are, er, Redskins!?!
That’s not turrible you knucklehead. Now Kim Jung Il, that’s turrible. He’s Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs
1. it’s hardly a secret charles.
2. isn’t calling it a “dark” secret racist?
