Well, I don’t really spend a lot of time worrying if this guy is “happy” or not, do you?

I’m numb with grief at fat boy’s disapproval.

Charles is black first, a patriot.......not even in second place, probably closest to 5th or 6th place.

Charles Barkley, who was born and played college basketball in Alabama and now lives the life of an upper-upper 1%er in Scottsdale Arizona.....

I love all these celebs crying about they were embarrassed or let down by Trump. They hated him before all of this. Kind of like when a 3 year old starts screaming louder because they are not getting their way.

+ I could care less what all these people think.

Didn’t Barkley get caught with a hooker in some alley once

Hey Charles, I’m a veteran and love that flag, and the Texas flag. Granted, I live in the outback but I seriously think I’d grab a burning flag and shove it into the burner’s face.

I’ve liked Charles, and thought he was reasonable, but he has said things that suggest he thinks very highly of his place in society as an elite athlete. It’s that kind of attitude that has led to athletes feeling that they exist apart from the fans, and that their stature and financial worth also exist apart from the fans. In fact, all of their stature and financial success from their sport is intrinsically linked with and dependent upon the fans.

To be fair, Barkley also came out against comments by Derrick Rose about not wanting to live with aches and pains after he retired. Charles said Rose should consider himself lucky that he can drive an expensive car home to his mansion, and that a shouldn’t complain about the wear and tear of the game that lets him live so well.

Still, there’s that attitude that separates athletes from ordinary people. We are all, in the end, ordinary people. Forgetting that leads to a destructive lack of humility.

Talk about privilege. These racist punks are ignoring that in majority who made them part of the lefts hated 1%ers.

Isn’t Barkley usually on the correct side of things?

I’m embarrassed I even want to read why this toad is so important...

He was running his mouth way back during the Olympics. I thought he’d grown up a bit lately but apparently not.

This fat-ass gas-bag has-been hyphenated American thinks a hell of lot more of himself than others do.

I really don't give a rat's patootie what he or any other "athlete elite" feels about anything...whether it be politics or the weather.

To hell with him and his opinion.

I fart in his direction.

So Charles must be happy with a high black unemployment rate, a high number of black abortions and black fatherless families, black-on-black killings in Chicago, and decades of Democrat welfare programs that kept blacks in the ghetto.
