As a “black man” you certainly have done well for yourself Charles.

Did he make these comments before or after being serviced by a prostitute while drinking and driving?

I particularly like his DWI's.

Why am I not suprised that a man with multiple mugshots is not concerned about laws...

What’s the big deal about this; it was funny. Anyone trying to make Barkley out to be a racist will be laughed at. Yes, he is a jerk in a lot of ways, but he is not a phony. He is who he is.

Barkley is way beyond being influenced by PC, but I don't see how his statement is racist or inappropriate in any way.

"Knitting Immigrants" is somehow stereotypical?

Barkley’s just a funny wiseass. Not the brightest bulb on the tree, but he works with what he’s got.

He’s a mouthy racist ignorant sh!tstain.

I had to laugh when I read a month or two ago that ol’Chaz lamented he’s misunderstood-that “people aren’t used to a black man who speaks his mind”, yadda yadda yadda

Yeah, who ever heard of a loud black man running his mouth before? That’s almost unheard of......

Bottom line-if he was white and ran his mouth like he does-bye bye to his TV career.

Basically, I can’t understand 100% of what he says-when I see his ugly face on TV, I hit the mute button ASAP.

Why would immigrants need to be the one to knit the jerseys? Of course, they could be waiting on Charles to pick the cotton, first?

Charles just did it again a few minutes ago on the TNT Lakers/Heat pregame show. The "Los Lakers" and "El Heat" jerseys for tonight's game were praised by the three analysts in the studio, and Barkley chimed in -- "too bad the IDIOTS in Arizona don't get it. ...and by idiots I mean the governor and her supporters."

Barkley, like most mindless libs, seems to have a difficult time understanding the difference between immigrants and illegal immigrants.
