Charles Barkley: ‘Unintelligent’ Blacks ‘Brainwashed’

NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley spoke candidly about the problems facing the black community when appearing on a Philadelphia radio station, accusing “unintelligent,” “brainwashed” African-Americans of keeping successful ones down.

While appearing on “Afternoons with Anthony Gargano and Rob Ellis,” Barkley was asked about a rumor that Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson was getting criticism from his black teammates for not being, quote, “black enough.”

Barkley went on a long monologue on the subject: ”Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we’re never going to be successful, not because of you white people, but because of other black people. When you’re black, you have to deal with so much crap in your life from other black people. It’s a dirty, dark secret; I’m glad it’s coming out.”

Barkley said that young black men who do well in school are accused of “acting white” by their peers. “One of the reasons we’re never going to be successful as a whole, because of other black people. And for some reason we are brainwashed to think, if you’re not a thug or an idiot, you’re not black enough. If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don’t break the law, you’re not a good black person. And it’s a dirty, dark secret.”

Sorry but this guy is an idiot.

100% completely certifiable.

While I would love to take your side on this, and I do agree with your argument, I cannot legitimately take Barkley as a source on anything without straining a muscle from laughing.

This is the guy that claims the NBA is a black sport now.

Barkley is right.  There seems to be a flaw in black culture that ridicules any black that wants or profits by a good education.

here is the true uncle tom Barclay..ingloriously Thomming his way into the heart of corporate america. not that he needs it with his millions already.  but he is now guaranteed a job forever in america for this.
