Charles Barkley has blamed politicians for dividing Americans and criticized both Republicans and Democrats exacerbating problems between white and Black people in the U.S.
The former NBA star, who is now a sports analyst with TNT, made the remarks on Saturday before a Final Four game between Baylor and Houston. He appears to have been responding to footage of Robert F. Kennedy announcing the news of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968.
Kennedy, who was also assassinated later that year, spoke movingly about King's death in famous remarks delivered in Indianapolis, which is the location of the 2021 Final Four.

Very much worth watching if you haven’t seen it!
Barkley gets it. The politicians sit in a backroom together, laughing at us, pitting us against each other, lighting each others cigars off the $100 bills of our productivity.
And if you think that room is free of republicans, well you just haven’t been paying attention.
I respect Barkley. I don’t always agree, but he’s open about his views, and supports why he has them.
Politicians? Panty-weight wuss Charles won’t even tell the truth on that other than utilize “politicians”. No, it’s DEMOCRATs, CharlesIdiot, DEMOCRATs!
.
Not always.
He’s no conservative.
So says the fat slob that ALWAYS votes for the Marxist’s dimocrats because they used to give his mama free stuff to feed little fat Charles all his calories to keep his fat @$$ going!! Burgers, fry’s, cokes, pizza. Nothing green for little Round Mound of Rebound Charlie from I think it was Leeds High School on the outskirts of Birmingham. Then down to the plains of Awbern Tiggers and their two football national championships (ROLL TIDE with 18!!! THIS YEAR, but now back to little Charles. I have family who are Tigger fans and they are okay, except when they play Bama). Little fat Charles then played for the lousy Philly Black Panthers HQ 76ers. These never were the 76ers of Wilt Chamberlain’s 1960’s teams. With little Chuck, they were losers and he never played in an NBA championship and never got the ring, yet with his numbers he got into the NBA hall of fame, sure!! Then little Chuckie has BLOWN more money than most people have ever seen in gambling halls of Vegas and back room card games. Yup, that expert of all things round leather ball thrown through a steel round rim. That is our little Chuckie Cheese Bark Bark Bark Barkley!!! That CNBC, SeeBS, NBC, KNN, ABC, expert on all things social issues. Have much of those BLOWN MILLIONS THAT little Chuckie could have given to black people to build homes, help out those with bills and were destitute??? All those MILLIONS BLOWN IN VEGAS!! Hey Chuck, ever THINK (yeah, I know you cannot think) how those MILLIONS WOULD HAVE AIDED THOSE WHO COULD HAVE USED IT, instead of getting it from we who never made those kind of millions, actually working for a living?? Ever thought of that Chuckie Cheese Bark Bark Bark Barkley???? Nope, he NEVER gave it ONE THOUGHT!! Not one.
Yes they do and then those same politicians ask for money from all sides and then use that money to divide us some more.
it wasn't a missed opportunity...
IT WAS A STOLEN ELECTION!!!.....
and the fact “our” politicians have excepted it tells me all I need to know about them all......*spit
Democrats benefit by pitting racial groups against each other... It’s called ‘playing the race card’.
Just in case Charles Barkley hasn’t heard of it ... it’s ONLY done by democrats.
I like that! I copied it and sent it to my military retired buddies!!
I’m also sick of the moral equivelance being played by people who are trying explain the evils going on. IT IS NOT BOTH SIDES!!!!
YOU CANNOT LAY THIS EVIL ON BOTH DOORSTEPS!!!
I hear this from some of my favorite conservatives and it is so disappointing.
STOP SAYING ITS BOTH SIDES CAUSE ITS NOT!!!
It just makes me so mad to hear that the right does the same thing. What a crock of @&$).
Baseball Player
That’s “Woke!”
Epic!
I love Charles. This is a guy living his best outspoken life. Plus he’s incredibly funny.
Charles meant to say the media and Democrats wish to divide and conquer. He replace Republicans for media because he cashes CBS checks.
Only one Party is doing that Chuck.
Could he BE more right about that?
JFK would be demonized and mercilessly attacked by democrats today.
