In light of the recent movement to remove Confederate statues, NBA legend Charles Barkley said worrying about those stupid statues was a waste of time.
Barkley said in his 54 years he has never thought about those statues, adding he would rather worry about bettering the black community.

Anarchy hurts everyone.
These folks have no idea how to lead productively. They are only intent on destroying.
They have been taught how to protest, disrupt, and destroy.
I’ve come to the point where I recognize that none of these people are happy that slavery no longer exists. They wish it did, so they’d have a valid issue to talk about.
So instead of being happy, they act as if slavery still exists and trash White people as if they actually wanted to keep Blacks down.
These protesters have done more to set back Blacks in the last few months than anyone over the last 50 years.
I get the impression some folks just aren’t very bright, and it’s really sad to see that telegraphed.
Instead of people like me being able to accept everyone as decent people, I’m now having to wonder if the people I come into contact with have a chip on their shoulder.
I was just talking with friend yesterday. She has some Hispanic friends. I’ve been introduced to them. I disagree with some of their world outlook, but I genuinely like them and wish them a good happy productive life.
I asked her what they thought of me, and she stated they couldn’t figure out why she would want to hang out with Whites.
That mindset just baffles me.
If this asshole had ever studied American history,he might have a clue.
Yes.
but we need to preserve our historical places and their statuary...
otherwise, we've no better than the Taliban.
He is frequently very OK. Except when trying to play golf.
psssst, Charles, it’s not about the statues.
It’s about discrediting the entire country, its history and Constitution.
Yep. He’s actually a kind of conservative.
The Kenyanesian Usurpation should never have happened.
Barry Soetoro is not a natural born citizen and EVERYONE in the District of Corruption knows it.
It’s just like the “Native American sports teams” BS
You think the average NA Joe gives a Flyin Flip about the Redskins?
If anything sports teams are named aggressive, tough creatures.
It’s pointy headed white LOOKITME liberals who made all this up. Like they give a damn about anybody else except themselves
Common sense ain’t so common
Agree..now what does LaBron James say about this? (As if I really care what LaBron thinks about issues of the day).
CERTAIN RELIGIONS (”OF PEACE”) DO NOT LIKE STATUES EITHER- THEY DESTROY 4000 YEAR OLD SCULPTURES
This is a start, for them...
“When Charles Barkley is the voice of reason, you know society has gone insane.”
I don’t think so. Whenever I have hear Barkley speak out he has been very pragmatic, forthright, and honest. I found myself agreeing with most everything he said. Also basketball players don’t get their heads pounded to mush day after day like in the NFL so I wouldn’t be so quick to write him off.
Thank you Charles!
