Charles Barkley: ‘Unintelligent’ Blacks ‘Brainwashed’ To Keep Successful Black Men Down
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/25/14 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 10/25/2014 6:32:47 PM PDT by ButThreeLeftsDo

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.

The democRATS need a permanant, dependant underclass to keep them in power and they siphon off the taxes toward the underclass. The unintelligent blacks (there are the unintelligent in every race) are somewhat at fault. Most at fault are the democRATs who promote low achievment and dependence. They are parasites on society with the poor getting almost nothing and the politicians getting rich for doing almost nothing.

So, who do you think is responsible for "brainwashing" African-American young men" Charles?

Would it be Al, Jesse, Eric, Barack or the Koch brothers?

I’ve known this for years; John McWhorter wrote about it in Losing The Race. Blacks police other blacks. Actually, a lot of other cultures do this too. I often muse that the greatest advantage white people have is that we don’t do that to each other as much. We tolerate loners and eccentrics with much more equanimity than most cultures.

“Truth told. What a crappy society. Fueled with hate.”

Definitely the “culture” of a large number of black people. The media and the dimoKKKRAT party does nothing to help the situation. Keeping them on the plantation means votes which in turn means power.

It’s a dirty, dark secret;

Charles, Obama said you're a racist Uncle Tom. He also promised you a visit from IRS auditors.

I wonder how do you allow these hustlers to keep with the agenda even after the gayest of them got the highest position in of the nation?

Unless they are liberals, then equanimity rarely applies.

The new "Black Cool" needs to evolve into breaking out and going going solo.
