Why Charles Barkley has become an embarrassment to us all! "Chuck"

"I can't wait to make my people look stupid! I got my own show bruh!" 

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." Confucius gave it to us like this, "Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance." Then Mark Twain broke it down like a playa at a pimp convention when he spit, "All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure." 

Well playas...just ask Charles Barkley if that's true because he's got to be the most ignorant and confident man I know of and the more ignorant and confident he becomes the more he's rewarded by mainstream media. He's the dun that all of these ole fake media-types run to when they want to slam black folks without bein' guilty of actually slammin' black folks. Go find the black guy that wants to be accepted by the mainstream so bad that he'll say anything to make himself look good and his people look crazy. GO GET CHUCK!!!!!

So on Monday TNT announced that they were goin' to have Barkley host a new show on race and culture called, "The Race Card." Perfect!!! Get the clown that will say what most racists folks want to hear and legitimize it by havin' a black host that most non-black folks thinks is credible. "If Charles Barkley said it then it must be true. Why? Because he's a Hall of Fame basketball player. Since he could hoop then he's got to be well informed on race and culture even though every time he opens his mouth he sounds like a fool. But he's a Hall of Famer dawg!"

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! There's some clown readin' this joint right now thinkin', "Jay is on one right now! Chuck always makes sense when he's on the radio or TV."  Well pimpin' let me refresh your memory on some of the foolishness that he's said just this year! Not over the past 32 years of his ignorant bliss. 

A few weeks ago he jumps on the Dan Le Batard Show and proves to America that's he's the sell out that most black folks already knew that he was. He blamed Philando Castile for his own death by sayin' that he shouldn't have kept his ID in the same place as his gun. In his own words he said, "First of all every thing is happening in fast motion. What I think happened was that the cop said, 'Can I have your ID!' And the next thing he said was 'I have a gun.' And he reaches and I think the cop just panicked." This is what this fool said out of his own mouth bruh. 

Dan Le Batard then tries to save him by sayin', "I know but Charles they're more likely to panic around black people because there is a fear of black people."Then this dun says, "But Dan it's fair because some black people are out there are crooks." 

This is the fool that is goin' to host a TV show about race in America!! 

Durin' this past football season he was asked his opinion of Cam Newton headin' into Super Bowl 50. Again he was on ESPN's Dan LeBatard Show when he actually said out of his OWN mouth that he hates that Cam turned this thing into a black vs. white issue when he brought up the fact that he was an African American quarterback that people are afraid of. He goes on to say that people wouldn't be talkin' about the issue of race had he not  brought it up. Insert Spongebob eye blink sound effect right here bruh.  He says that he believes that there are some people who may not like him because he's black but there is no proof of that. 

All the proof you need is the fact that Cam Newton was demonized for dancin' after scorin' touchdowns and Aaron Rogers was given a commercial for doin' the same thing. It's called a double standard bruh. But let Chuck tell it, Cam Newton is just makin' excuses for bein' black. 

In the very first article written for ESPN's "The Undefeated" this duns tells a boy that he grew up in Leeds, Alabama in the 1960’s and ‘70’s and didn’t experience any racism? For all of you simple minded individuals Alabama is in the south! In the 1960's it was still segregated!! So why on earth would a boy tell you that he didn't experience racism growin' up there? Because he was tryin’ to increase his white audience by tellin’ people that most black folks are just makin’ up issues of racism. The town of Leeds was and is still separated by a set of railroad tracks where blacks live on once side  of the tracks and whites lived on the other side. He said out of his own mouth that his grandmother walked him to school with her gun in her purse so that nothing would happen to him. But racism never had an affect on him.

Just in the last 24 hours he asked the question as to why black folks are Democrats because they're all poor? First of all playboy, all black folks that are Democrats aren't poor. Like all white folks that are Republicans aren't rich. He said nothin' about all of the poor white folks followin' Trump around that are literally votin' against their OWN self-interests. This cat acts like if the poor black folks all of a sudden voted Republican that they wouldn't be poor anymore. To make any of those types of statements is to be reckless. 

But this is the same guy that is goin' to host a show on race in America! I would have felt better about it if they had chosen the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan to host it. At least I'd understand where he was comin' from. At least he'd be authentic in his mission. Chuck is slammin' black folks for his OWN benefit and boyz are lookin' at me crazy for actually sayin' what they're thinkin'. On his first show he may as well have Stacy Dash, Jason Whitlock, Raven Symone and the newly crowned, Wendy Williams on just to get this foolishness over with!  Stop me when I start lyin'!

The caption under the photo isn't real but its REAL talk! 

How Charles Barkley has COMPLETELY "souled" out! "Surface Area"

"I sold out a long time ago bruh! Now I can't help it!" 

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the German writer and statesman, once said, "Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago." Benjamin Disraeli, the 1st Earl of Beaconsfield a British politician, broke it down like this, "To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a great step to knowledge." Then Benjamin Franklin put it where the goats could get it when he spit, "We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid." 

Well playas...Charles Barkley has been workin' his butt off to remain stupid since 1984!!! This dun continues to get on national television and radio talkin' like a darn fool and that's the edited version bruh. On Tuesday, once again, he jumps on the Dan Le Batard Show and proves to America that's he's the sell out that most black folks already knew that he was. This dun, in a nut shell, blamed Philando Castile for his own death by sayin' that he shouldn't have kept his ID in the same place as his gun. In his own words he said, "First of all every thing is happening in fast motion. What I think happened was that the cop said, 'Can I have your ID!' And the next thing he said was 'I have a gun.' And he reaches and I think the cop just panicked." This is what this fool said out of his own mouth bruh. 

Dan Le Batard then tries to save him by sayin', "I know but Charles they're more likely to panic around black people because there is a fear of black people."Then this dun says, "But Dan it's fair because some black people are out there are crooks." 

Now let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st!  I refuse to blame Charles Barkley anymore for bein' an idiot! He's proven that he's a consistent idiot for the past 32 years!! I blame all of these fake media-types for givin' him a platform to say what they really want to say about black folks but can't say. So they bring this fool on to do it for them. Now Le Batard will tell you otherwise, but he keeps bringin' him on the show and he knows he's gonna talk crazy. And that goes for Dan Patrick too. 

Charles Barkley doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground about ANYTHING but people keep talkin' to him about issues concernin' race and cutlure because he makes black folks look stupid every time he opens his mouth. Even when he's talkin' basketball he's lyin' and talkin' crazy. I just wrote a Hot Joint entitled, "What!!?" last week about him slammin' KD for goin' to Golden State and tellin' boyz that he didn't cheat by tryin' to jump on teams to chase a ring!! But everybody and their Aunt Ester saw him go to both Phoenix and Houston tryin' to win a title. But y'all keep listenin' to this dun. 

But let's get back to his comments on Le Batard's show. To get on a national show and say "I think what happened was" is to be completely irresponsible! To blame a dun for his OWN death when he told the cop that he was gettin' his ID is crazy. I'm not even a cop and I know that there are 10 different ways to de-escalate that situation even if the cop was nervous! 

How about tellin' ole boy to put both of his hands in the air, then get out of the car with both hands where I can see them. Put him in hand cuffs and then reach into the car and get the gun, ID and the gun permit. The professional on hand is supposed to understand how to handle that situation. Or how about callin' for back up and makin' him sit there with his hands either up or on the steering wheel until one of his boyz pulls up. There is no reason for the cop to panic even if he's scared. HE'S THE FREAKIN' PROFESSIONAL!!  

But to blame Philando is to let the cop off of the hook and to make the black man look guilty of this foolishness. Then he says that black folks are crooks so that gives the cop a justified reason to panic and kill the man. White folks are crooks too Charles! Every race of people have crooks. They aren't killin' them for havin' a busted tail light, sellin' cigarettes, CD's, playin' with toy guns in the park or walkin' down the street with a pop and Skittles in their hands! At some point enough is enough!! 

White folks get pulled over all of the time, will curse the police officer clean out and drive off without incident and a gun is never pulled. But Charles is tellin' a national radio audience that it's okay to kill black folks because we're crooks. To get on the show and go in on blacks bein' to blame for this foolishness is beyond dancin' the jig at this point bruh! Then he says the same ignorance that people spit up every time they wanna justify police shootings of black people. Why isn't anybody mad when blacks kill blacks? 

Where has this fool been? I grew up in the middle of the ghetto and black folks have always been mad. They don't march and protest at the same level durin' those circumstances because who is there to protest? The dun killin' folks in the ghetto doesn't work for a local, state or federal agency that is held to a standard of excellence and wasn't sworn in to protect and serve!! The dun sellin' drugs in the hood doesn't work for the Drug Dealers Association of America funded by local and state tax dollars. The police are the one's that took an oath to protect and serve. So now I've got to run from both the cops and the gangstas? 

Again, where is this fool from? EVERYBODY in the hood knows that Lil' Shotgun is sellin' all the drugs and killin' everybody. But if you live in that neighborhood or your mother lives in that neighborhood you can't march and protest Lil' Shotgun!! Why? Because you and yo momma will come up missin'! And anybody else that talks to the police! But if you've never been to the ghetto you wouldn't know that. EVERYBODY in the hood is sick and tired of the violence but they can't do a darn thing about it if they want to keep breathing because they don't have the money to move. Is that real enough for you playboy? 

And for all of the fools like Charles that want to show people that they're smart by throwin' numbers up that somebody else gave them. They'll tell you that 93 percent of all black homicides are committed by other blacks. But what they don't tell you is that 85 percent of all white homicides were committed by other whites. Why? Because people tend to get into arguments and fights with people that look like them because ethnicities typically run together. If the Italian cat gets into a fight at the bar with someone, the person he more likely than not is fightin' and beefin' with looks like him. Why? Because it's the Italian bar that all of the Italians in the neighborhood frequent. No different than the black cat beefin' with the dude down the street in the all black neighborhood that they both live in. 

When idiots like Charles say stuff like that they're provin' to the world that they only know the surface area foolishness because they aren't smart enough to dig into the root of the problem. He knows better because he grew up black in the segregated south in Leeds, Alabama in the 1960's! But he wants the mainstream audience to like him so he trashes black folks every time he gets on a show. 

You don't find it strange that every time there is an issue of race in this country that the mainstream media runs and gets duns like Charles Barkley, Jason Whitlock and Stacy Dash to discuss it. When everybody and their baby's momma's momma, Ms. Jackson, knows they're goin' to trash the black community. Oh, and now you can throw Wendy Williams into the car with them too! 

Since Barkley wants us to deal with the problem of black on black crime in the ghetto who's gonna address the reason why there is an alarmin' rate of homicides in the ghetto? Boyz aren't just killin' each other for sport out here bruh. Drugs and territory to sell drugs is at the root of the problem. Well how did the drugs get into the ghetto in the first place? The people that live there didn't bring them in. Nobody in the hood owns an airplane, a ship to import them or a freakin' passport to go get them. 

As a matter of fact, how did ghettos in America come to be? I guess you forgot that there was such a thing as housing discrimination laws that existed up until 1968 and the amendments to that law didn't come until 1988. So black folks were forced to live, regardless of income, in the same neighborhoods and somebody decided to drop drugs off into those neighborhoods but you can't figure out why the crime rate is so high. 

I'm not tellin' you what I heard playboy I'm tellin' you what I know. Both of my parents were college educated blacks in the 1950's! When most black folks couldn't even go to college my father was a pharmacist and my mother was a school teacher. However, I grew up on a middle class street smack dab in the middle of the ghetto in Gary, Indiana! Why? Because we couldn't live in the suburbs. Why? Because we were black! So I watched heroin addicts walk up and down the streets in the early 1970's as a kid even though my parents could afford to live in the suburbs.  

Now you're seein' on the news that there is a heroin epidemic in America because it's no longer contained to the ghetto. Somebody finally dropped it off in the suburbs. Now it's a problem bruh! However, it wasn't a problem when I saw it at 6 years old in 1973. But duns like Charles will tell you that it's all black folks fault because all he wants to tell you is the surface area foolishness. Stop me when I start lyin'!

The caption under the photo isn't real but its REAL talk! 

Why Charles Barkley and Stacey Dash need to be a couple at this point! "Dancin'"

"Man I'm just tryin' to keep my shine goin' bruh!" 

The big homie Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” Confucius jumped out of the whip sittin’ in front of the pool hall and said, “Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.” Then Oscar Wilde put his square down and shouted, “By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.”

Well playas…journalism definitely keeps us in touch with the uneducated every time they ask Charles Barkley his opinions on the subject of race in this country. Over the past 72 hours several major news outlets have asked this dun his opinion of Cam Newton headin' into Super Bowl 50. He was on ESPN's Dan LeBatard Show on Thursday and actually said out of his OWN mouth that he hates that Cam turned this thing into a black vs. white issue when he brought up the fact that he was an African American quarterback that people are afraid of. This dun actually said out loud that people wouldn't be talkin' about the issue of race had he not  brought it up. Insert Spongebob eye blink sound effect right here bruh.  He then goes on to say that he believes that there are some people who may not like him because he's black but there is no proof of that. What!!!?

Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! This "IS" Charles Barkley that we're talkin' about playboy! This is the same dun that tried to tell us last year in an article entitled "Up From Leeds" that he grew up in Leeds just outside of Birmingham, Alabama in the 1960’s and ‘70’s and he didn’t experience any racism? He tells us that his grandmother had to walk him to school in the mornings with a gun  in her purse to make sure that nobody bothered him. However,  he wasn't affected by racism growin' up. This clown goes on to say that black folks in Leeds lived on one side of the train tracks and the white folks lived on the other side and that today it's still pretty much the same way. But racism didn't exist in Leeds bruh.

Here's the problem playa, Charles has been rich for more than 30 years and he's lost his freakin' mind and his memory. This is the same cat that was asked about racial profilin' and he said that it does occur and sometimes it isn’t a bad thing. This fool said, “We, as black people, we got crooks…There’s a reason they racially profile us at times. Sometimes it’s wrong, but sometimes it’s right.” Like white folks don't have crooks too. Do you see the pattern of this foolishness?  Charles has become the black dude that some racist white folks will parade around to speak on issues of race because he's goin to say what they really wanna say but if he says it he validates their opinions. He and Stacy Dash need to become a couple. Did you hear the foolishness that she came up with when boyz got upset about the Oscar nominations? Maybe Chuck needs to leave TNT and go to Fox full time with ole girl.  

For him to say that he believes that "some" people may not like Cam because he's black but we don't have any proof is merely proof that he's completely out of touch. All he's gotta do is get out of the 20th century and get online, which he refuses to do. Just join the world of social media for one day bruh! Search Cam Newton on Twitter and look at the duns chirpin' his way callin' him EVERY N-word in the book. That's your proof right there pimpin'! That's if you're so ignorant and out of touch that you actually NEEDED proof.

Did I mention that fact that he told Dan LeBatard that we shouldn't even be talkin' about race in sports because there are more important issues of race to be discussed outside of sports like cops killin' boyz and the situation in Flint?  Hey Chuck? The same attitude that creates the situation of cops killin' unarmed blacks and a city full of black people gettin' lead polluted water is the same attitude that causes folks to hate Cam Newton for playin' the game of football with his personality.

Folks didn't hate Bill Romanowski and he was the dirtiest football player to EVER live. Boyz don't hate Gronk and he's a complete meathead. But Charles is tryin' to tell us that Cam is the reason why people are bringin' up race durin' this Super Bowl hype. Not the fact that racist people are voicing' their opinions about him all over social media.  

Chuck wants the mainstream to accept him so bad that he's shuckin' and jivin' all the way to the bank! He played in the NBA back in the day. This same foolishness was goin' on then. When the Showtime Lakers were in constant battles with the Boston Celtics for championships it was black vs. white and boyz were pickin' sides then. The Lakers were flamboyant and in your face led by this black dude that was smilin' all of the time and the Celtics were led by the All-American white boy. We've been dealin' with this foolishness for years. So now you wanna act like folks weren't thinkin' about race when they're hollerin' all types of racial epithets at Cam for scorin' touchdowns and celebratin' all season? You've got to be insane.

Barkley has become the new age Minstrel Show and he doesn't even know it. He's out here lampoonin' black folks as dim-witted, lazy and buffoonish to get more shine in the media. Here's the problem, he's got a platform and he doesn't have the wherewithal to understand how to use it. So the very cats that keep askin' him questions about race knows that he doesn't know any better so they're usin' him to make their invalid points to people that think just like they do. He may as well put on the "black-face" and dance round for these duns at a circus. That's real talk!

Now I will give Dan LeBatard major props because he was tryin' to pull that dun off of the roof as he was talkin' crazy but Charles kept pullin' back the other way. So Dan just let him crash and burn. By the way The LeBatard Show is the best joint on radio bruh! Check that dun out if you want some real sports talk. At least he keeps it real for a boy.

I’ll leave you with the words of Chanakya, the ancient Indian philosopher, “The life of an uneducated man is as useless as the tail of a dog which neither covers its rear end, nor protects it from the bites of insects.” Stop me when I start lyin’!

The Tracks (Why Charles Barkley is guilty of lyin' to boyz on the issueof race again)

"I didn't bruh!"

The big homie Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” Confucius jumped out of the whip sittin’ in front of the pool hall and said, “Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.” Then Oscar Wilde put his square down and shouted, “By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.”

Well playas…journalism definitely kept us in touch with the uneducated this week when the duns from ESPN and Jason Whitlock’s new site called ‘The Undefeated’ sold us some foolishness on Charles Barkley in an article entitled "Up From Leeds." Now I don’t know who to be more upset with, Chuck, Whitlock or ESPN? I’ll hold ESPN to a higher standard because the other two cats have been throwin’ black folks under the bus for years. I'm fired up at ESPN because nobody in the buildin' said, "Chuck don't tell that lie bruh!" Why am I surprised when Charles Barkley tells a boy that he grew up in Leeds, Alabama in the 1960’s and ‘70’s and didn’t experience any racism? Now is he again, tryin’ to increase his white audience by tellin’ boys that most black folks are just makin’ issues of race up or is he just that ignorant? Talk to me pimpin'!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! This dun was born in 1963 just 20 miles outside of Birmingham, Alabama. The same place that in 1964 some fools bombed the 16^th Street Baptist Church killin' four little black girls at Sunday school. The same year this cat was born civil rights activists launched a voter’s registration campaign which led to the the 1965 Selma March. It was where black and white folks marched from Selma to Montgomery to the Alabama State Capital  to demand the opportunity to vote! Have you ever heard of “Bloody Sunday?” People were beaten half to death just for the right to vote in the state of Alabama! The same state in which ole Chuck was raised at the same time but his life wasn’t affected by those events? 

Here’s my diehard Barkley fan screamin’ from the top of his lungs, “Jay he said that he personally didn’t face any racism growin’ up! You’re bein’ an idiot!” Am I playa? What affects one of us affects all of us. My kids didn't have to live in Ferguson to be affected by the events of last summer bruh! They didn't have to live in NYC to be affected by ole boy bein' choked to death by the police for sellin' loose cigarettes.You don't personally have to be assaulted to be damaged by it homeboy. 

Within this freakin’ article this dun said out of his own mouth that he was the first kid to integrate the elementary school that he attended. That means that he faced racism durin’ his life! If no other blacks had ever gone to the freakin’ school before then he was affected by this foolishness. It had an affect on his drive and passion to prove that he belongs. Don't tell me that it had no affect.

Then he goes on to say that his grandmother would walk him to school with her gun in her purse just in case something popped off. She wasn’t worried about the freakin’ GD Folks or the Vice Lords bruh! She was worried about the racists that didn’t want her grand baby to attend the same school that their children attended. The article goes on to say that his mother thanks the white man for allowin’ her to clean their houses to be able to take care of her kids. She was cleanin’ white folks houses Chuck because of racism! She, like my grandmother and most black women of that era in the south had to do because they couldn’t get a job doin’ anything else. That’s racism bruh!

Then these duns completely blew my mind with tryin’ to explain to me that Chuck didn’t experience racism in Leeds when to this very day the freakin’ town is separated down the middle, black from white, by the train tracks. The white folks stay on their side and the black folks stay on their side. Am I the only one here that can see that this is 100 percent racist?

Then these fools say that everybody got along just fine. Sure, they did! As long as the subservient doesn’t start demandin’ rights and privileges everything is cool. If you’re cool with livin’ on the black side of the tracks we’ll all get along just fine. Martin Luther King Jr. wasn’t assassinated because he was tryin’ to get along bruh. He was assassinated because he was buckin’ the system. The duns in Leeds were cool with the system that was in place and apparently they’re still cool with it today.

Sure, all towns were set up like that 50 years ago but if you told a boy that this is the way it is now he’d tell you that you were crazy. But Jason Whitlock and Co. and Chuck want us to believe that these aren’t examples of racism.

What kills me is that folks think that you’ve got to be called the N-word before it counts as racism. Listen up playas, whenever you treat someone differently because of the color of their skin its racism. And Chuck, just because folks didn’t call you out of your name doesn’t mean that you haven’t been affected by racism. The simple fact that you grew up in a town that had a clear separation of where blacks and whites could live affects every area of your life whether you want to believe it or not.

The passion that you’ve used to become a Hall of Fame basketball player and a successful analyst on TV is all wrapped up in the fact that somebody told you that you couldn’t live on the other side of the tracks when you were a kid. When you saw your mother get up every day to clean white folk’s houses because she wasn’t given other opportunities it drove you to become even better. Don’t tell me that you weren’t affected by racism because we all have been and still are today.

When you get to a point of success in your life you have the opportunity to shop at high end stores. I was returnin’ a purchase just yesterday and the little elderly white woman behind the counter looked me square in the eye and simply ignored me. I stood there for the next ten minutes just to see what I knew was goin’ to happen. Why? Because it’s happened so many times in my life that I can see it before it even puts its pants on in the morning. Like clockwork a white couple walked up and she immediately said, “May I help you?” I immediately interrupted her and said, “Ma'am, I’ve been standin’ here for at least 10 minutes, you looked right through me and when these fine lookin’ folks walked up, you asked if they needed help. Now am I just that invisible to you or what?” She didn’t call me the N-word but she was thinkin’ it playa.

So when you try to tell folks that look like you that you didn’t experience racism growin’ up in the 1960’s, ‘70’s ‘80’s, ‘90’s or 2000’s they’re gonna look at you sideways because either you’re that naïve, you’re stupid or you're runnin' game. What’s really your agenda bruh? Life is a lot better now than it was 50 years ago but if we’re gonna tell the story tell the truth. We’ve ALL been affected by racism in one way or another. Don’t try to increase your white audience by actin’ like the rest of us are crazy and just makin’ things up out here. In order to increase your audience you just need to be good and authentic playa. Not all people are racist but there is still racism in this world and we’re ALL affected by it. Love is the key to battlin' this foolishness not by tryin' to act like you weren't affected by it.  Stop me when I start lyin’!

Chuck (Why Charles Barkley has now become the new age Minstrel Show bruh )

"Huh? Man what you talkin' about?"

Franz Grillparzer, the 18th century Austrian writer, once said, “The uneducated person perceives only the individual phenomenon, the partly educated person the rule, and the educated person the exception.” Aristotle got boyz attention when he said, “The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.” Then the big homie Oscar Wilde shut the buildin’ down with, “By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.”

Well ole Oscar must have been thinkin’ about Charles Barkley when he came up with that one bruh! It seems like every time here lately when some of our white bretherin want an opinion of what’s wrong with black folks they call Chuck! Why? Because Chuck doesn’t know any better and he’s givin’ those few that are ignorant and racists exactly what they want to hear. And the crazy thing is, they’re laughin’ at him in the process because he’s sayin’ exactly what they want to say but can’t.

Some cat asked him about racial profiling among other things and he said that is does occur and sometimes it isn’t a bad thing. He goes on to say, “We, as black people, we got crooks…There’s a reason they racially profile us at times. Sometimes it’s wrong, but sometimes it’s right.” I could go on quotin’ this dun but why? It’s Chuck bruh!! This is the same Chuck that have been sayin’ dumb stuff (and that’s the edited version) for more than 30 years.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Since Charles Barkley stepped onto the scene in the NBA in 1984 boyz have been cringin' every time he opens his mouth. Now you wanna listen to what this cat has to say about race and politics? He can barely make sense when he’s talkin’ about the game of basketball!

Oh, I'm talkin’ crazy? I’m hatin’? This is the same guy that just last year speakin’ on a topic that he’s supposed to be an expert on, said that LeBron would NEVER get into his top 4 on Mount Rushmore because he already has Oscar, Jordan, Wilt, Kareem and Magic on it. Well, first of all you can’t have but 4 cats on the freakin’ mountain and he had five. So the dun can’t count either.

Now I could give a rip who’s on the mountain but there has to be some type of logic that goes in puttin’ them on it right? He goes on to say that LeBron has to pass Kobe first who has 5 rings because he only has 2. Now if that’s the criteria then I’m cool with that. But if that’s the logic that you’re rollin’ with playa then why is Oscar and Wilt even on the list when they’ve only got one and two rings respectively? That dun completely missed the class on less than verses greater than. My point here is why are you listenin’ to a cat tryin’ to tell you about race and politics that doesn’t even know the history of the stuff that he’s supposed to be an expert on? If he can’t tell you the history of something that he eats, sleeps and breaths on a daily basis, then why on earth are you listenin’ to his opinions on anything else?

This is the same cat that said he was gonna run for office in the state of Alabama but one minute he’s a democrat and the next he’s a republican. Now I don’t care which car you get in bruh but you gotta pick one. However, in order to be one or the other you’ve got to at least understand the fundamental thinkin’ of one group verses the other playboy.

This is the same dun that threw a fully grown man through a plate glass window while he was playin’ in the NBA but now has the audacity to call people scumbags. Yes, this is the same cat that got pulled over for drunk drivin’ that told the police out of his own mouth that he was in a hurry to get to this broad’s crib because she gave the best “mental attention.” So to ask Charles Barkley anything outside of the scope of his expertise which he’s still shaky on is to be irresponsible at the very least.

Any clown that is seriously talkin’ to this cat about Ferguson, civil unrest, politics or basic adding and subtraction should be deemed an idiot and thrown out of the world of journalism. It’s one thing to have an agenda and it’s another to be overtly racist or are they the same in this instance? Because you can’t agree that Barkley has made absolutely no sense on 98 percent of what comes out of his mouth outside of the game basketball for 30 years and then think that his opinion on race and politics or like Big Momma used to say, “me and mine” is ground breakin’ and makes sense!

He's become the new age Minstrel Show and he doesn't even know it! He's out here lampoonin' black folks as dim-witted, lazy and buffoonish to get more shine in the media. Here's the problem, he's a got a platform and he doesn't have the wherewithal to understand how to use it. So the very cats that keep askin' him questions knows that he doesn't know any better so they're usin' him to make their invalid points to people that think just like they do. He may as well put on the "black-face" and dance round for these duns at a circus. That's real talk!

I’ll leave you with the words of Chanakya, the ancient Indian philosopher, “The life of an uneducated man is as useless as the tail of a dog which neither covers its rear end, nor protects it from the bites of insects.” Stop me when I start lyin’!

Holla At Ya Boy!

Talkin' Crazy (Why boyz needed to stop listenin' to Charles Barkley 20years ago)

 "Man I've never made any sense but y'all keep listenin' to me!"

Bill Cosby once said, “A word to the wise ain’t necessary – it’s the stupid ones that need the advice.” Elon Musk, the famous inventor, gave it to us like this, “I think it’s very important to have a feedback loop, where you’re constantly thinking about what you’ve done and how you could be doing it better. I think that’s the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.” Then Agatha Christie, the famous crime novelist, shut the building down with, “Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that’s no reason not to give it.”

Well playboy..if you’re a sports fan and you have a tendency to believe every word that a boy says just because he’s a Hall of Famer, then you’re in trouble! Especially, if you’re listenin’ to the logic of Charles Barkley on anything outside of the lines of the game of basketball. I’m so tired of boyz stickin’ a microphone in his face and askin’ him to speak on issues of race when ninety percent of the time he doesn’t have a clue of what’s goin’ on. It’s like he’s seen bits and pieces of the story and then he just starts talkin’ crazy.

When asked about the Russell Wilson situation and boyz sayin’ that he was “Too close to management” and "not black enough." He went in without understandin’ what was really goin’ on. All he heard was “Not black enough” and this dun dove into the freakin’ pool head first.

He says, “There are a lot of black people who are unintelligent, who don’t have success. It’s best to knock a successful black person down cause they’re intelligent, they speak well, they do well in school, and they’re successful. It’s crabs in a barrel…We’re the only ethnic group that says, ‘hey if you go to jail, it gives you street cred.’”

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! That would be great if we were talkin' about some cats sittin' in the ghetto but none of that pertained to the Seattle Seahawks locker room playboy. Boyz were sayin’ that Russell Wilson was too close to management because he knew about the impendin’ Percy Harvin trade for a month and didn’t tell anybody about it. He’s the dun that can’t be trusted. He’s the old school “House Slave” as I explained to boyz in the Hot Joint entitled “Housey vs. Field” a few days ago.

They were simply sayin’ that ole Russ can’t be trusted in that locker room and with real cats loyalty is everything. So therefore, he's too close to management.

Charles is doin’ Charles again without understandin’ the context by which boyz were talkin’. We’re not dealin’ with a bunch of cats hatin’ on some kid in the projects because he makes good grades and speaks well bruh. Everybody in that locker room is rich relatively speakin’ and EVERYBODY in the freakin’ room has been to college. Some of them have degrees from far more prestigious universities than Russell Wilson’s NC State playboy and yes I realize that he went to the University of Wisconsin for his final year too.

Did you forget that Richard Sherman went to Stanford and graduated in three years and speaks as eloquently as ole Russ? Did you not know that Doug Baldwin went to Stanford too. I guess you totally forgot that Marshawn Lynch went to Cal along with Brandon Mebane huh? But everybody in that locker went to college bruh. So who would be jealous of Russell Wilson for goin’ to college too? I’m just sayin’.

They can’t be jealous of his pay check Chuck, because he’s one of the lowest paid starters on the team because he’s still on his rookie contract that he signed as a third round pick in 2012. Do really think that a first round boy is trippin’ on Russell Wilson’s pay check? He’s only makin’ $817K this year. Who’s hatin’ on him? But that’s Chuck for you playa, just talkin’ crazy and boyz keep listenin' to him!

He’s the same dun that told the world that’s its normal in the black community in the south to beat your kids with a switch when Adrian Peterson beat the brakes off of his kid. He just started tryin’ to educate white folks on what black folks do without understandin’ that Adrian did more than just discipline his kid. What he did wasn’t just a spankin’ it was abuse in every sense of the word but let Chuck tell it, it was normal. Why? Because he hadn't seen the pictures of the kid before he opened his mouth. Oh yeah, that's Chuck talkin’ crazy again!

He’s the same cat that more than twenty years ago told the world that athletes shouldn’t be role models to kids. He said that their parents should be their role models. Boyz needed to stop listenin' to that dun right then and there but boyz kept on.

It sounded good in theory so everybody ran with it. However, it made absolutely no sense at all. First of all, just about every little boy in America thinks that he’s gonna be a pro athlete when he’s young or at least until he figures out that he doesn’t have the DNA etc. to play at that level. Therefore, you become a role model by default bruh because you’re these kids hero whether you like it or not. And secondly, what happens with the kid that doesn’t have any parents? What if the kid’s daddy is in jail and his momma’s cracked out? Is he just out of luck?

Isn't this the same dun that when he was in the league boyz would cringe every time they put a mic in his face because he was bound to say something ignorant? Isn't he the same cat that was pulled over for drunk drivin' that told the cops that he was tryin' to get back over this broad's crib because she gave the best "mental stimulation?" Isn't this the same dun that threw an entire human being through a plate glass window? And now we're listenin' to him on issues of race and culture bruh?

Here’s the danger in boyz listenin’ to Chuck. There are a lot a white folks in the world that have never had any types of relationships with black folks and they know nothin’ about them except for what some idiot tells them. So if some fool like Rush Limbaugh tells them that all black folks are lazy and shiftless and then a prominent black sports figure co-signs that thinking, what are they supposed to believe? It's simply untrue bruh! 

It's like sayin' that white folks in rural America live in trailer parks and are hooked on methamphetamines or that black folks live in the ghetto and smoke crack. That's called a fallacy playboy. For all of you simple minded individuals, that means that something is true but not necessarily true. Therefore, to make those statements would be ignorant and irresponsible. So you can't make a blanket statement about black folks holdin' themselves down when you know that there are others at play.

Well...maybe he wouldn't know that because he's never had a real job in his freakin' life. When you've been blessed with the DNA to play in the NBA and have become a Hall of Famer you wouldn't understand the struggle of havin' to compete in the real work force now would you? 

Since his retirement from the game he's gotten every job he's ever had on the strength of his basketball reputation bruh. And let's keep it real playa, it's to your advantage to be black if you're a basketball player because more than 70 percent of the league is black. So what would Chuck really know about competin' in the real world? That’s my problem with this dun talkin’ crazy.

Sure, they are people within the black community that are crabs. However, there are people in all communities that are crabs. This isn’t just exclusive to black folks bruh. All I ask Chuck, is that you figure out what’s really goin’ on before you jump on somebody's radio or TV show and make all black folks look ignorant. Your words have more power than you actually believe that they do. At least do your homework or have a boy brief you before you open your freakin’ mouth. Stop me when I start lyin’!
